Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge. The hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing and includes an off-center lobe that generates a field. The second housing includes a detection engine to detect a strength of the field generated by the off-center lobe and determines a hinge angle (or a position of the first housing relative to the second housing) based on the detected strength of the field generated by the off-center lobe.

Abstract: Technologies for a hinge for a dual-screen clamshell computing device include a hinge having a drive shaft and a driven shaft. The drive shaft is fixed to a member such as a secondary display housing of the computing device. The driven shaft is rotatably coupled to another member such as a base housing of the computing device. The hinge includes a one-way needle bearing fixed to the same member as the driven shaft. The driven shaft passes through the one-way needle bearing, which allows free rotation of the driven shaft in one direction and prevents rotation of the driven shaft in the other direction. The hinge includes a coupling joint that selectively couples the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The computing device includes a trigger that is operable to selectively engage and disengage the coupling joint of the hinge. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: There is disclosed in one example, an encasement for a mobile computer, including: an external casing in a clamshell form factor, the external casing including a base, a secondary display chassis hingedly connected to the base at a secondary hinge, and a primary display chassis hingedly connected to the secondary display chassis at a primary hinge disposed at a removed edge of the secondary display chassis from the secondary hinge, the primary display chassis to substantially overlay the secondary display chassis and the base when the primary hinge is in a closed position; and pivot means disposed to substantially bias the secondary hinge against movement from a selected position in at least one direction in the absence of an electrical input.

Abstract: Illustrative examples include a system for coupling a first electronic device to a second electronic device. The first electronic device may include a housing having a first engagement surface and a first magnet array. The first engagement surface may be adapted to receive the second electronic device. The second electronic device may include a second magnet array. An actuator coupled to the first magnet array may move the first magnet array relative to the housing and the second magnetic array, to attractively couple or repulsively de-couple the second electronic device from the first electronic device.
