A wireless energy transfer system includes an electronic device having at least two members, each housing at least a portion of the electronic device pivotably coupled via a number of hinges. A hinge member is disposed proximate at least some of the number of hinges. At least one receiver coil may be disposed in, on, or about the hinge member. Removing the receiver coil from the members housing the electronic device advantageously permits thinning of the members and a beneficial reduction in height of the electronic device. A power supply may include a number of power supply coils disposed in, on, or about a power supply member. Some or all of the power supply coils may wirelessly couple to the at least one receiver coil via an electromagnetic field and transfer energy to the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed proximate the power supply.

Hinge mounted wireless charging systems and methods

Small-scale audio speakers of various shapes are installed in parent devices. Inner casings, and the surrounding vibration-damping zone often required between such casings and the surrounding parent-device walls, are omitted from the assembly. During integration with the parent device, each un-encased speaker and its signal lines are sealed into a single-walled enclosure that incorporates a parent-device wall as at least one side. The entire interior of the single-walled enclosure becomes a back volume for the speaker. The single-walled enclosure may incorporate seals at the speaker's audio-output aperture, at the pass-through for the signal lines, and at the interface between the parent-device wall(s) and the added side(s) constituting the single-walled enclosure. Optional adhesive-free sealing options include sliding tabs held by a snap-lock latch.

Audio speakers with integrated sealing and assembly features for 'caseless' installation

Particular embodiments described herein provide for device that includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge, configured as an antenna, to rotatably couple the first housing and the second housing.

Radiative hinge

Embodiments are generally directed to an integrated sound bar hinge assembly for a mobile electronic device. A wearable electronic device may include a hinge assembly body; at least one hinge set coupled with hinge assembly body to hingeably couple a first portion of a mobile device to a second portion of the mobile device; and at least one speaker bracket contained in the hinge assembly body to install a first speaker.

Integrated sound bar hinge assembly for mobile electronic device

In one example a hinge assembly for an electronic device comprises a first hinge comprising a first bracket coupled to a first bushing disposed at a first end of the first bracket and rotatable about a first shaft extending through the first bushing. a second hinge comprising, a second bushing, a first linkage arm rotatable about a second shaft extending through the second bushing, and a second linkage arm rotatable about the second shaft extending through the second bushing and a third hinge comprising a second bracket coupled to a second bushing disposed at a first end of the second bracket and rotatable about a third shaft extending though the second bushing, wherein the first linkage arm is rotatably coupled to the first shaft and the second linkage arm is rotatably coupled to the third shaft. Other examples may be described.

360 degree hinge assembly for electronic devices

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an device that includes a first body coupled to a first housing, a second body coupled to a second housing, a hinge rod, and a spring clip on an outside diameter of the hinge rod, where the spring clip is configured to increase the torque of the hinge.

Hinge clip

Embodiments are generally directed an adjustable tension wrap end hinge. A hinge assembly includes a first wrap end component and a second wrap end component; a first axle and a second axle, the wrap section of the first wrap end component being wrapped at least in part around a first portion of the first axle adjacent to a first end of the first axle, and the wrap section of the second wrap end component being wrapped at least in part around a first portion of the second axle adjacent to a first end of the second axle; and a first tension screw to adjust a tension of the first wrap end component on the first axle and a second tension screw to adjust a tension of the second wrap end component on the second axle.

Adjustable tension wrap end hinge

In one example a hinge assembly for an electronic device comprises a linkage comprising a first bushing disposed at a first end of the linkage and a second bushing disposed at a second end of the bushing, a first shaft rotatable within the first bushing about a first axis, a second shaft rotatable within the second bushing about a second axis, and at least one compression element disposed on the first shaft, wherein the first shaft and the first bushing are threaded such that rotation of the first shaft within the first bushing induces lateral translation of the first shaft along the first axis. Other examples may be described.

A connector assembly is disclosed. The connector assembly comprises a connector having an internal conical shaped bore dimensioned so that a capillary column and auxiliary tubing can be press-fit into the bore, and an auxiliary length of cylindrical tubing having an inner diameter dimensioned so that a close fit is created when a capillary column is inserted through the auxiliary tubing and having an outer diameter dimensioned so that a fluid seal is created when the auxiliary tubing is press-fit into the bore.

Capillary column connector assembly

A method and apparatus for creating a fluid tight seal between a capillary column and a connector. The method and apparatus are easy to employ and do not require the use of screws, ferrules, or additional tools. The method can be used for any capillary tubing as well as for megabore and microbore columns and tubing. In the method, a length of auxiliary tubing is placed over the outside of tubing requiring a fluid tight seal, such as a capillary column. After the capillary column is inserted into the connector, the length of auxiliary tubing is press-fit into the connector creating a secondary fluid tight seal. The auxiliary tubing provides additional mechanical stability during mechanical vibration and dramatically increases the tensile force required to compromise the fluid seal. This method can be used for many types of chromatography including gas chromatography and liquid chromatography. A connector assembly and fluid tight seal assembly are also disclosed.
