Abstract: Extendable connector ports are described herein that may be implemented in thin computing devices. An extendable connector port includes a floor, tongue, and roof that expand from a closed position stored within a computing device to an open position that extends away from the computing device. An extension mechanism of the extendable connector port maintains a parallel orientation of the floor, tongue, and roof and gaps in the extendable connector port when the port extends to the open position. The extendable connector port may then be collapsed into the closed position by reducing or eliminating gaps between the floor, tongue, and roof, so that the connector port is thinner in its closed position than it is in its open position. This collapsibility of the extendable connector port allows thin computing devices to include ports that are thicker than a housing of the device.

Abstract: A structure for housing electronic components. The structure includes a first layer and a second layer. One or more layers may each have a modulus of elasticity of less than 2.41 MPa. One or more layers may be at least partially affixed to form a combined layer. The combined layer may have a combined modulus of elasticity of less than 2300 MPa. The combined layer may be transparent to electromagnetic waves. The combined layer may be not electrically conductive across an entire surface area of the combined layer. The combined layer may be polycarbonate free. An outermost layer may be a textile layer.

Abstract translation: 本文描述了可扩展连接器端口，其可以在薄计算设备中实现。 可延伸的连接器端口包括从存储在计算设备内的关闭位置扩展到远离计算设备的打开位置的地板，舌头和屋顶。 当端口延伸到打开位置时，可延伸连接器端口的延伸机构保持地板，舌头和屋顶的平行取向和可延伸连接器端口中的间隙。 然后，通过减少或消除地板，舌头和屋顶之间的间隙，可延伸的连接器端口可以被折叠到关闭位置，使得连接器端口在其关闭位置比在其打开位置更薄。 可扩展连接器端口的这种可折叠性允许薄计算设备包括比设备的壳体更厚的端口。
