Abstract: This application relates to methods and apparatus for pneumatically separating adhesively joined components. A pneumatic release mechanism can be positioned between the adhesively joined components. The pneumatic release mechanism can be positioned adjacent to or within an adhesive joint so that when it is filled with air the pneumatic release mechanism can exert a force on the joined components sufficient to sever the adhesive bond. In some embodiments, the joined components can be housing components. In other embodiments, the joined components can be a battery cell and a housing component.

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: A stand-alone device, comprising:
an enclosure having a shape that is symmetric about a longitudinal axis, wherein
the enclosure includes:
a first opening, and
a second opening axially disposed opposite the first opening;

an air passage spanning an entire length of the enclosure;
a printed circuit board, PCB, positioned within the air passage such that the PCB is offset from and parallel to the longitudinal axis, the PCB having a surface on which is mounted a computational component; and
an air moving component, in communication with the computational component, provides an acoustic output by moving air in a controlled manner through the second opening of the enclosure.
