An example of the present disclosure includes a packaging box, comprising a first section including a first aperture to receive a portion of a writing device, and a second section including a second aperture to receive a remainder of the writing device. The packaging box further includes a hinge mechanism coupling the first section to the second section, wherein the first section and second section are rotatable about the hinge mechanism. The packaging box also includes a tip remover including a surface to remove a tip of the writing device responsive to application of a force.

Writing device packaging boxes

Techniques for proving haptic feedback in computing systems are described. In operation, an input representing utilisation parameters of an electronic pen is received. In an example, the electronic pen may be electronically coupled to the computing system. Based on the received utilisation parameters, the computing system provides a pattern of haptic feedback to the user.

Haptic feedback for computing systems

In one example, an input pen may include an electronic component, a communication interface to establish a short-range wireless connection with an electronic device, and a controller communicatively coupled to the electronic component and the communication interface. The controller may receive a command from the electronic device via the communication interface. The command may uniquely correspond to an operating mode of the electronic device. Further, the controller may control a power state of the electronic component based on the command.

Active stylus power management design

An example device can include a computing device having a first portion of a pogo pin connector coupled thereto and a mount having a second portion of the pogo pin connector coupled thereto to receive the first portion of the pogo pin connector. The mount can be communicatively coupled to a hub for receiving signals sent from the computing device, and the signals can be communicated from the computing device to the hub via the pogo pin connector in response to engagement of the first portion with the second portion.

Computing device and mount

Examples techniques to determine print material subscription plans for image rendering devices are described. In an example, data indicative of print material consumption by an image rendering device for a period of time is received at a server. Based on the received data, a print material subscription plan is determined for the image rendering device. Signals to enable provision of a notification corresponding to first print material subscription plan are transmitted to the image rendering device.

Print material subscription plans

An example electronic device includes a wireless communication component and a controller. The controller is to set an output power of the wireless communication component based on: whether a first external object is in proximity to a first side of the electronic device; whether the electronic device is stationary; and whether a second external object is in proximity to a second side of the electronic device, where the second side is opposite to the first side.

Output power adjustments based on sensors

Techniques for controlling RF output of portable devices are described. In an example, an indication of a mode of a portable device is received. The mode is based on an inclination of the portable device. The inclination is measured in reference to a screen of the portable device and a horizontal surface. Based on the mode, an RF power level defined for the mode is determined. The RF power output of the portable device is controlled based on the RF power level.
