Abstract: A desktop computing system having at least a central core surrounded by housing having a shape that defines a volume in which the central core resides is described. The housing includes a first opening and a second opening axially displaced from the first opening. The first opening having a size and shape in accordance with an amount of airflow used as a heat transfer medium for cooling internal components, the second opening defined by a lip that engages a portion of the airflow in such a way that at least some of the heat transferred to the air flow from the internal components is passed to the housing.

Abstract: Accessory devices for portable electronic devices are described. An exemplary accessory device can include a first segment coupled to a second segment via a first hinge assembly. The accessory can include a third segment coupled to the second segment via a second hinge assembly such that the second segment is positioned between the first and third segments. The accessory device can be arranged between a closed configuration and a configuration of a stand that supports the portable electronic device at a viewing angle. At the support configuration, the second segment can be at an acute angle relative to the first segment to shift the center of gravity of the system towards the middle. The third segment can be suspended above the first segment and be inclined outwards. The hinge assemblies of the system can be sufficiently stiff to withstand the weight of the electronic device.

Abstract: Display assemblies for supporting displays on stands or support arms have mount portions to removably attach to the displays using magnetic assemblies and latches. The magnetic assemblies and latches can improve user experience and allow the display to be installed on a support arm from the viewing side of the display and without having to see or reach behind the display. Magnetic structures can center a mount portion of the support arm and a recess of the display and can attract them to each other. Laterally-extending latches can ensure the display is not inadvertently removed. Locking mechanisms can prevent the display from being rotated to a portrait orientation when sufficient space around the display and the necessary user intent is not provided.

Abstract: Pairs of matching connectors are described. The matching connectors can provide power to a powered device and/or communicate signals to a device. The matching connectors can include electrical contacts. In one example, the electrical contacts may be ring-shaped and several electrical contacts may be concentrically positioned. In one example, the matching connectors can be held together by a locking future that can be a magnet located in one or both of the matching connectors. In one example, the matching connectors can be connected by the angular of one of the connectors relative to the other. This rotation of one of the connectors relative to the other can engage the contacts of the connectors.

Abstract: This application relates to a magnetically actuated fastener suitable for use within an electronic device housing having a first housing component and a second housing component. The magnetically actuated fastener can be attached to the first housing component and includes a spring-loaded magnetically attractable plunger that can be moved longitudinally within a fastener body from an engaged state to a disengaged state by applying a magnetic field through an outer wall of the first housing component. When the magnetically attractable plunger is in the engaged state, the plunger causes locking members to extend radially out of the fastener body to engage a channel defined by the second housing component.
