An electronic device includes a hinge coupling at least a first device housing to a second device housing. A flexible display is coupled to the first device housing and the second device housing and spans the hinge. The first device housing defines a curvilinear recess forming at least some of the flexible display into an asymmetrical service loop when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot about the hinge from an axially displaced open position to a closed position. Additional hinges and device housings can be added to accommodate flexible displays of varying lengths.

An apparatus can include headwear having a head receiver that is pivotally coupled to a first shield. A second shield can be attached to the headwear exterior to the first shield. The second shield can include a holographic optical element. An electronic device can be coupled to, or alternatively integrated with, the first shield. One or more processors of the electronic device can determined whether the first shield is in a first position relative to the head receiver or a second, angularly displaced position. Where the first shield is in the first position, the one or more processors can operate the electronic device in a virtual reality mode of operation. Where the first shield is in the second, angularly displaced position, the one or more processors can operate the electronic device in an augmented reality mode of operation.

This document describes techniques () and apparatuses () for distributing metadata to peer devices. These techniques () and apparatuses () enable a receiver device () store or create metadata associated with content streamed from one or more peer devices. The receiver device can distribute this metadata to other peer devices thereby enabling identification or procurement of the content at the other peer devices.

Power adapter for an electronic device

This invention includes a speakerphone accessory suitable for connection to either a battery charger having a phone in its pocket or to a cellular telephone. The speakerphone module includes a hemispherical upper housing. The upper housing includes a circular dimple aperture and a wave directing cap. The hemispherical shape, aperture and cap all contribute to directing acoustic waved generated by a speaker disposed within the housing radially from the module in all directions. One embodiment of the module includes a second terminal for passing data and power through the module, allowing the module to be coupled serially between devices. The module also includes a bottom housing having a generally hemispherical shape. The bottom housing provides stability to the connection between the module and a peripheral device in that it reduces the mechanical advantage given to forces incident upon the upper housing acting upon the main terminal.

A charger with a mechanical support is provided for supporting an electronic device having batteries with different form factors. The mechanical support can be rotated to further support larger form factor electronic devices. Additionally, a mechanical support for insertion into a charger is provided for supporting electronic devices with varying form factors.

A dual actuating shutter safety system for a power supply interface having a housing having a plurality of apertures that provide access to conductive contacts for a first conductive prong and a second conductive prong such that when the prongs contact the conductive contacts, an electrical connection is made therebetween. The system includes a first resilient member and second resilient member that are each rigidly affixed within the housing, and each resilient member has a proximal non-conductive segment that is resiliently held in an aperture and a distal conductive segment that is resiliently held within the housing, whereby the non-conductive segment must be forced aside before the conductive segment of the resilient can be contacted.

This invention includes a compliant removable battery support for configuring a pocket to accommodate devices of varying size. In one preferred embodiment, a charger is provided having a pocket capable of receiving an electronic apparatus, like a cellular phone for instance. The electronic apparatus is capable of having different sized batteries attached. The pocket size is adjusted by inserting the compliant removable battery support into a guide slot that corresponds to the desired battery size. In a preferred embodiment, the compliant removable battery support has a compliant member that comprises a four bar compliance mechanism. The four bar compliant mechanism provides more robust coupling between the compliant removable battery support and the charger in that the deflection stress is distributed across the compliant mechanism.

A battery charger that includes a data store that can receive, store, and send data files to other computer devices. The battery charger can specifically receive, send, and store multimedia files such as those in MP3 format. The battery charger has a charger platform with at least a charger main processor, a data store (memory), a charged device interface, and a charge control resident thereupon. The battery charger also includes a power link for selectively providing electricity to the charge control of the charger, and a data link for sending and receiving data from the charger main processor. The charger main processor selectively sends and receives data through the data link and stores and retrieves the data from the data store.

The present invention includes a means for charging the battery of an electronic device by converting acoustic energy to electrical current. In one preferred embodiment, the protective layer of a liquid crystal display screen has a magnetic material disposed thereon. The housing of the liquid crystal display includes a corresponding coil of wire. As the protective layer has freedom of motion given by the liquid crystal panel, when acoustic energy is incident upon the protective layer, the protective layer moves, causing the magnetic material to generate a changing magnetic field in the coil. In an alternate embodiment, the protective layer is connected to piezoelectric transducers. When acoustic energy is incident upon the protective layer, the piezoelectric transducers are actuated. In another embodiment, the electronic device comprises an input for receiving concentrated acoustic energy from various sources including loudspeakers and acoustic waveguides.
