A personal computing device is provided with a first housing portion, a second housing portion, and a hinge joining the first housing portion to the second housing portion. The hinge is configured to allow the first housing portion to rotate substantially three-hundred-sixty degrees relative to the second housing portion. The hinge can be implemented as a plurality of interlinked parallel hinge segments, each hinge segment to rotate about a respective one of a plurality of parallel axes of the hinge to enable the rotation of the first housing portion.

Micro-hinge for an electronic device

An apparatus is provided including a docking device to accept a computing device, the docking device including a keyboard and a hinge to connect the computing device to the keyboard, the hinge is configured to allow the computing device, when connected to the hinge, to rotate relative to the keyboard in a laptop orientation. The hinge includes a plurality of interlinked parallel hinge segments at least partially enclosed in a flexible covering, and each hinge segment is to rotate about a respective one of a plurality of parallel axes of the hinge.

'Hybrid' transmission line circuits employing multiple interconnect levels for the propagation, or return, of a single signal line across a package length are described. In package transmission line circuit embodiments, a signal line employs co-located traces in two different interconnect levels that are electrically coupled together. In further embodiments, a reference plane is provided above, below or co-planar with at least one of the co-locate traces. In embodiments, a balanced signal line pair includes first and second co-located traces in two adjacent interconnect levels as a propagation signal line and third and fourth co-located traces in the two adjacent interconnect levels as a return signal line with a ground plane co-planar with, and/or above and/or below the two adjacent interconnect levels.
