Abstract: Electronic device 1100, e.g. a tablet computer, has a display overlaid by an outer protective layer 1106 and a magnetic element. A cover 1300 for the device has a single piece flap comprising a first magnetic element 1326 in a first portion 1304 and a magnetic element 1324 in a second portion 1310 opposite to the first portion. The second portion is also pivotably attachable to the tablet. The magnetic element in the tablet and first magnetic element in the cover form a magnetic circuit through the outside protective layer 1106 to attach the flap to the outer layer. The cover forms a structure for supporting the tablet in an operational orientation when the flap is folded such that the first magnet 1326 and the magnetic element 1324 form a magnetic circuit. Magnetic sensor 118 detects when the flap is in contact to the layer and present visual content accordingly.

Abstract: Protective cover 1300 for a display of a tablet 1100, comprising: a body portion; a first magnetic element 1326 detected by Hall Effect sensor (HFX) 118 in the tablet when the body portion is secured to the display in a closed configuration by second magnetic element 1402; wherein the detection alters the operating state of the tablet; an attachment mechanism 1340 for pivotally attaching the body portion to the tablet. When the HFX sensor detects or does not detect the magnetic field, the display is disabled or enabled for presenting visual content, respectively. The visual content is presented only at a revealed portion (2102, fig 27B) of the display in a partial open configuration. The body portion comprises a first segment 1304 embedding the first magnetic element; a second segment 1310 with a rigid magnetically attractable insert 1324; a connecting folding portion. In a folded configuration the first and second segments are folded atop each other to support the tablet via magnetic attachment. The body portion comprises a laminate structure with: an inner microfiber layer providing cleaning contact with the display, an outer protective layer; an intervening layer of knitted material aiding in adhesively coupling the inner and outer layers.

Abstract: Embodiments describe a receiving element that includes a ferromagnetic structure axially symmetrical around a central axis disposed along a length of the ferromagnetic structure. The ferromagnetic structure includes a groove region defining two end regions on opposing sides of the groove region, where the groove region has a smaller length than the two end regions. The receiving element also includes an inductor coil wound about the groove region of the ferromagnetic structure and in between the two end regions. 1 of 17 Host Device 101 Communication Sensor System 108 System 110 Memory Computing User Bank 104 4-1 System 102 Interface System 106 Power Battery 112 + Transmitting Circuitry 114 I Host Inductive I Alignment ansnmitting I Interconnection I Device 124 System 105 1K Accessory Receiving Operating Device 126 Element 118 System 119 Power Battery 122 : Receiving Circuitry 120 Accessory Device 103

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for providing haptic output on an electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device includes an actuator configured to move in a first direction. The electronic device also includes a substrate coupled to the actuator. When the actuator moves in the first direction, the substrate or a portion of the substrate, by virtue of being coupled to the actuator, moves in a second direction. In some implementations, the movement of the substrate is perpendicular to the movement of the actuator. z Li2i0
