Example implementations relate to a frame to removably attach bags. For example, an apparatus includes a frame, at least one frame wheel connected to the frame, and an extender device attachable to the frame. The extender device includes a platform, at least one platform wheel connected to the platform, and a first extender connector device on the platform to removably attach the platform to the frame and to removably attach the platform to a first bag of a first size. The apparatus also includes a frame connector device on the frame to removably attach the first bag to the frame.

Frame to removably attach bags

An example system, including a camera to identify a projection area based on at least one criteria, and a projector unit attachable to the camera and to project an image to the projection area. A computing unit provides the image to the projector unit and sets the projector unit to project on the projection area, and the computing unit receives input through the camera and updates the image based on the input.

Image projections

A hinge rotatably attaches a display to a base, the hinge including a rotatable shaft and the hinge to rotate the display between a first position and a second position, a display screen of the display facing in a first direction when the display is at the first position, and the display facing in a second direction opposite the first direction when the display is at the second position. The hinge includes a lock to fix the display at an angle that is inclined with respect to the base and with respect to a plane that is perpendicular to a main surface of the base.

Hinge including a lock

A cover includes a cover body, and an arm coupled to the cover body. A shape memory material in the arm may be able to place the arm into a first shape and a second shape. In the first shape, the arm may be adjacent to a display device when the arm is attached to the display device. In the second shape, the arm may form a stand for the display device.

A device detects objects touching a first object icon representing a folder on a touch sensitive display and then moving in generally opposing directions, where the folder includes a plurality of constituent elements. In response to the detecting, additional object icons are rendered to display on the touch sensitive display, each additional object icon representing a respective constituent element, where the additional object icons are rendered in a pattern around the first object icon. The pattern of the additional object icons is animated.

Rendering object icons associated with an object icon

Apparatus and methods related to securing portable devices and their accessories are provided. A housing for an accessory includes a passageway extending at least partially there through. A first feature extending outward from the passageway is removably securable to a portable device. A second feature extending outward from the passageway is removably securable to another entity. The accessory and the portable device are thus securable against theft.

Accessory housing securable to a device and another entity

A method comprises detecting two fingers touching a first object icon on a touch sensitive display and then moving in generally opposing directions. The first object icon is associated with on or more constituent elements. In response to such detecting, the method causes additional object icons to appear on the display. Each additional object icon represents a constituent element of the first object icon.

Embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for which include support members having a port disposed thereon. The port may be accessible while the support member is an extended position. The port may be inaccessible or isolated while the support member is a stowed position.

Computing device with support member

A handle attachment including a mounting mechanism configured to couple the handle attachment to a computing machine and a clutch mechanism configured to reposition the handle attachment and lock the handle attachment in at least one position from the computing machine.

Handle attachment

Gyroscopic input systems and methods are provided. A gyroscopic input apparatus () can include a rigid surface () having an aperture () disposed therein. An input surface () can be flexibly attached to the rigid surface via a flexible member (). The input surface can be disposed proximate at least a portion of the aperture. A gyroscopic sensor () can be operatively connected to the input surface.

Gyroscopic input systems and methods

A system and method for document editing. A system includes an operator input device, a processor, gesture recognition program, and an edit mode program. The operator input device that senses gestures and multiple simultaneous touch points. The processor is coupled to the operator input device. The processor executes the gesture recognition program, which recognizes inputs from the input device. The gesture recognition program recognizes a predetermined edit mode gesture and, based only on the gesture, causes the processor to execute the edit mode program. The edit mode program provides a plurality of document editing functions for modifying a currently displayed document.

Gesture based edit mode

In one embodiment, a support tray that may be used in a notebook computer charging system includes a body adapted to support a power adapter, and a platform extending out from the body, the platform being adapted to support a notebook computer.

Support tray including a platform and a body providing a cavity

Heat dissipation apparatus for dissipating heat generated by a heat-generating component mounted to a circuit board. In one embodiment, the heat dissipation apparatus includes a thermally-conductive heat sink adapted to be placed in contact with the heat-generating component, a bracket adapted to hold the heat sink in place relative to the heat-generating component, and a single coil spring mounted to the bracket adapted to urge the heat sink into contact with the heat-generating component.
