Patent number: 8572831Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing inductively removable assembly bonding. Inductive elements may be placed strategically at bonding locations between two or more coupled components. At disassembly time, the elements may be heated through Radio Frequency (RF) energy causing the bonds to break and components to separate. For example, inductive elements placed near plastic stake bonds between dissimilar materials in an electronic device may be employed to separate the dissimilar materials during a recycling process. According to some examples, the elements may also be heated through a directly applied electric current via a network of connections designed into the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Empire Technology Development LLCInventors: Ezekiel Kruglick, Mark Meloni

Publication number: 20130155583Abstract: A docking station suitable for detachably assembling to an electronic device is provided. A bracket of the docking station includes a housing, a pushing element, a restoring element, and a main hook. When the pushing element is slid relative to the housing through the restoring element so the main hook is buckled to a main groove of the electronic device, a main hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device is established. When the pushing element is slid relative to the housing so the main hook departs from the main groove, a secondary hook of the docking station establishes a secondary hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device. When the electronic device is removed from the bracket until the secondary hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device is released, the restoring element restores the pushing element relative to the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Hsiang-Chun Yang, Chia-Ying Chen, Chih-Wei Lee, Cheng-Hsun Lee, Shih-Huei Liu, Ping-Huei Lee, Er-Jie Tsai
