A system can include a power cable that includes a plug and a cord; and a power supply unit that includes wireless charging circuitry and a disk shaped body that includes a recess, a power connector disposed in the recess and a cable notch as a passage from the recess to an outer perimeter of the disk shaped body, where the power connector is electrically coupled to the wireless charging circuitry and where the plug couples to the power connector and the cord passes through the cable notch.

Power supply system

A carriable device can include a body that includes a first side, a second, opposing side, a first strap mount on the first side, and a second strap mount socket on the second side; and a strap that includes an end attached to the body, an opposing end, and a coupling attached to the opposing end, where the coupling is connectable to the first strap mount and wherein the coupling is connectable to the second strap mount.

Positionable carriable device strap

An assembly can include a clamshell computing device that includes a display, a keyboard and a side connector; and a clamshell dock that includes an auxiliary display and a side connector that mates with the side connector of the clamshell computing device.

Computing device and dock assembly

A system can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a base housing; a display housing that includes a display operatively coupled to the processor, a display side, and a back side that includes a back side mobile device docking surface; a hinge assembly that couples the display housing and the base housing; and mobile device control circuitry that, responsive to docking of a mobile device to the back side mobile device docking surface, issues a mobile device operational control command.

Computing system

A method can include receiving by a mobile device, an identifier transmitted wirelessly from a tagged device; accessing proximity information using the identifier and the mobile device; performing a wireless ranging protocol using the mobile device to determine a distance from the mobile device to the tagged device; and establishing a control session for control of the tagged device using the mobile device, where the distance is within a distance limit specified by the proximity information.

Automated device control session

A device can include a housing that comprises a front side that includes a display operatively coupled to display circuitry and a back side that comprises a ferromagnetic surface, a hinge assembly, and a recess; and a ferromagnetic panel transitionable via the hinge assembly from a storage position in the recess to a bridge position that covers the ferromagnetic surface.

Display device

A system can include a display assembly that includes a rectangular housing that includes a back side that includes a raised portion and an attachment surface adjacent to the raised portion; and a stand that includes a base, a joint assembly and a coupling that magnetically couples to the attachment surface of the display assembly.

Display system

A computing device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a display housing that includes a display operatively coupled to the processor; a base housing that includes a keyboard operatively coupled to the processor, a shell and a component space access hatch that define a component space, and a controllable latch to lock and unlock the component space access hatch; a hinge assembly that couples the display housing and the base housing; and circuitry operatively coupled to the keyboard and the controllable latch that unlocks the component space access hatch responsive to receipt of a code from the keyboard.

Computing device

A case can include a base that includes at least one input device; a display device holder; a hinge that couples the base and the display device holder; and a flexible back end that automatically extends backwardly responsive to opening rotation of the display device holder with respect to the base via the hinge.

Computing device case

A computing device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a display housing that includes a display and a camera; a base housing that includes a keyboard and a camera viewfinder display for the camera; and a hinge assembly that couples the display housing and the base housing.

A system can include a display housing that includes a display, a frame, a display side, and a back side; and a cellular phone coupling that couples a cellular phone to the display housing with a portion of the cellular phone extendable a distance beyond an edge of the frame of the display housing.

A computing device can include a first shell that includes a first bay; a second shell that includes a second bay; a hinge assembly that couples the first shell and the second shell; and a display assembly positionable in the first bay and positionable in the second bay.

A system can include a display device that includes a rectangular housing that includes a back side that includes a first arrangement of magnets; and a stand that includes a base, a flap and a hinge that couples the flap to the base, where the flap includes a second arrangement of magnets, where the first arrangement of magnets and the second arrangement of magnets provide a first magnetic attraction force that couples the rectangular housing to the flap in a first position and a second magnetic attraction force that couples the rectangular housing to the flap in a second position, where, in the second position, the rectangular housing is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the first position.

A computing device can include a housing that includes a shell and a shell cover, where the shell cover includes a keyboard; and an electronic component secured in a component bay of the shell by a latch accessible upon displacement of the shell cover, where the component bay includes an electrical bay contact and bay magnets, where the electronic component includes an electrical component contact and component magnets, and where the component magnets are coupled to the latch and move responsive to actuation of the latch to lock the electronic component in the component bay via a magnetic attraction force between the bay magnets and the component magnets that mates the electrical bay contact and the electrical component contact and to unlock the electronic component for removal from the component bay.

A computing device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a display housing that includes a display operatively coupled to the processor, display housing bumper supports and peripheral display housing bumpers mounted to the display housing bumper supports; a base housing that includes base housing bumper supports and peripheral base housing bumpers mounted to the base housing bumper supports; and a hinge assembly that couples the display housing and the base housing.
