  • Patent number: 11886253
    Abstract: This application relates to improving kinematics in a computing device such as a laptop computer. A magnetic latch mechanism includes a magnetic array and an attractor plate. The magnetic array is secured in a top portion of the laptop computer and the attractor plate is secured in a base portion of the laptop computer. An attractive force of the magnetic latch mechanism is calibrated by selectively demagnetizing a portion of one or more magnetic elements in the magnetic array to reduce the attractive force proximate a target force. The calibration technique can include exciting a demagnetizing element, such as a pair of conductive coils, with a short, high frequency demagnetization pulse to create a demagnetized zone within the magnetic array that is completely demagnetized, irrespective of unit to unit variations of magnetic properties in the initially magnetized magnetic array. This technique ensures an accurate kinematic user experience.

    Abstract: Described, herein, is an installation apparatus and method which may permit the safe and rapid mounting of an electrical device (e.g., a Wi-Fi access point or a surveillance camera) onto an elevated support surface (e.g., a wall, a post, or a ceiling). Accordingly, the installation apparatus may include a housing, a mount, and an elongated handle. During use, the mount may be configured to be affixed to the elevated support surface. Additionally, the elongated handle may be configured to selectively couple to the housing enabling a user to lift the housing to the mount on the elevated support surface. Subsequent to the user lifting the housing to the mount, the housing may be configured to selectively couple to the housing, securing the housing to the mount.

  • Patent number: 11478196
    Abstract: A jacket that includes a first portion, a second portion, and an interface. The interface is movably coupled to the first portion and the second portion. The first portion comprises multiple medical modules. The multiple medical modules include at least one medical sensor and a physiological signal conduit for transferring a physiological signal from an inner side of the first portion to an exterior side of the first portion. The first and second portions are configured to be detachably coupled to a mobile phone. When the jacket is at a closed position then the first portion, the second portion and the interface define an inner space that is configured to receive the mobile phone and the first and second portions contact opposite sides of the mobile phone. When the jacket is at an open position, then only one of the first and second portions contacts the mobile phone.

  • Patent number: 11451257
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing a mobile device cover are described. In some embodiments, the mobile device cover may include, for example, an acoustic sensor, a processor, and lighting devices. The processor can be operatively coupled to the acoustic sensor and the lighting devices. The acoustic sensor can be configured to receive sound generated by the mobile phone and to convert the sound into an acoustic signal. The processor can be configured to receive the acoustic signal and to determine whether the acoustic signal is similar to one of a plurality of acoustic signals previously stored on the mobile phone cover. Each of the previously stored acoustic signals can be indicative of, for example, a particular caller, a particular message sender, or a particular alert. Based on the acoustic signal determination, the processor is configured to cause lighting of the one or more lighting devices corresponding to the indicated caller, indicated message sender, or indicated alert.

  • Patent number: 11438698
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a double-voice-coil double-magnetic-circuit high-frequency loudspeaker, comprising a stand frame. At least two groups of magnetic circuits, which are symmetrically distributed with respect to a central axis in the horizontal direction of the stand frame, are arranged in the stand frame. With adoption of a design structure of a double-voice-coil double-magnetic-circuit resonant diaphragm, multiple vocal ranges can be provided to effectively increase a utilization rate of magnetic fields and improve sensitivity of the loudspeaker. In addition, production and assembly are facilitated to improve output power of a headset; and volume and voice quality can be controlled to provide ultra-high voice frequency, thereby creating truer vocal range expression.
