An example modular device includes a housing having an upper side, a lower side, and a sidewall having a first opening. The modular device also includes an attachment tab to attach the peripheral device to a second modular device at the upper side. The modular device further includes a latch disposed within the housing. The latch includes a main body having a second opening aligned with the first opening to receive an anti-theft device. The latch also includes a latch arm extending from the main body to control an engagement of the attachment tab with the second modular device. The latch further includes a latch unlocking tab exposed at the lower side to control a position of the latch.

Examples disclosed herein provide a retractable structure for a computing device. The computing device can include a base member and a hinge assembly to couple a display member to the base member. The structure can be disposed within the base member such that the structure can be retractable within a rear sidewall of the base member and extendable from the rear sidewall when the hinge assembly is in an open position with respect to the base member.

Retractable structure for a computing device

In an example, a connector may comprise a female connection port including a first power trace and a first signal trace disposed within the female connection port, and a male connection plug rigidly attached to the female connection port and disposed adjacent to the female connection port. The male connection plug may include a second power trace and a second signal trace disposed on an outer surface of the male connection plug.

Examples of a cover for a device are described herein. The cover includes a substrate to be placed in proximity of a heat source of a device. In an example, a heat resistant layer is applied over a surface of the substrate to insulate heat generated by the heat source. Further, a top layer is applied over one of the heat resistant layer and another surface of the substrate, which is opposite to the surface having the heat resistant layer. The top layer provides at least one of chemical resistant properties and aesthetic properties.

Cover for devices

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.

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

An example system for adjusting the center of mass of a computing device includes a base slidably coupled to a first portion of the computing device. The base repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base. A first hinge couples the first portion and a second portion, rotates the second portion relative to the first portion about an axis of rotation, and repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base.

Adjusting the center of mass of a computing device

In some examples, an apparatus includes a display panel, a shielding layer having an opening formed within a periphery of the shielding layer, the shielding layer adjacent to a back side of the display panel, and an antenna adjacent to the back side of the display panel, wherein the shielding layer is received in the opening formed in the shielding layer, and does not extend beyond an edge of the display panel to allow for wireless communication with the apparatus from a front side of the display panel.

Display panel for front-side wireless communication

A tablet mounting system may include a display having a perimeter edge surrounding a front face and a rear face, the front face having a transverse width and having a display region. An elongate opening may extend into the front face and spaced from the perimeter edge of the display to receive and facilitate mounting of a display support accessory. The elongate noncircular opening transversely extends along the front face from a first side of a transverse midpoint to a second opposite side of the transverse midpoint of the front face.

Tablet attachment system

A tablet computing device may include a main body, a video display, and a battery cavity. The main body may include a front side and a back side. The video display may be disposed on the front side. The video display may display images. The battery cavity is disposed on the back side to receive a battery to supply power to the main body. The battery may form an adjustable angle between the battery and the battery cavity. The video display may be selectively placed in one of a plurality of viewing orientations based on an amount of the adjustable angle.

Form adjustable angle between a battery and battery cavity to selectively place a video display in viewing orientations

An electronic device stand is provided in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The electronic device stand includes a first section, a second section connected to the first section and positioned at an acute angle to the first section, and a dock connector extending from a first surface of the first section to attach to an electronic device. The first section of the electronic device is to support the electronic device in a first orientation when a first surface of the second section is in a first plane and is to support the electronic device in a second orientation when a second surface of the second section is in the first plane.
