Patent number: 11946781Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a base, a sliding assembly slideably coupled to the base, and a sensor assembly coupled to the sliding assembly. The sliding assembly may moveably support a control panel and the sensor assembly may sense positions of the sliding assembly relative to the base. The sensor assembly may include a first sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a first position relative to the base, and a second sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a second position relative to the base. A sensed state of the first sensor and a sensed state of the second sensor may be used to determine that the sliding assembly is in a third position relative to the base.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: David Bert Larson, Clinton Troy Jensen
