Covers to conceal inner portions of apparatuses

In some examples, an apparatus can include an arm and a cover connected to the arm, where the cover conceals an inner portion of the apparatus when the arm is in a vertical orientation relative to a base of the apparatus, and the cover is concealed in the inner portion of the apparatus when the arm is in a horizontal orientation relative to the base of the apparatus.

BACKGROUND

Electronic devices may include a display. A display can present images, text, and/or video to a user. Some displays may allow a user to input information to the electronic device via the display. In such an example, the electronic device may include an apparatus to alter a viewing angle of the display. The altered viewing angle can allow a user to input information to the electronic device via the display.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Electronic devices such as laptops, phablets, convertibles, and other types of computing devices may include a display. An electronic device may include rotatable components to view the display at various angles. As used herein, the term “display” refers to a device which can provide visual information to a user and/or receive information from a user. A display can include a graphical user interface (GUI) that can provide information to and/or receive information from a user.

A display can be rotatable to facilitate receiving information from a user. For instance, a display may be rotatable such that a user can input information to the electronic device via a stylus or other input mechanism. In some examples, a display can be rotated such that the display may be viewed at various angles.

When a display is in a particular orientation, inner components of a mechanism to allow for rotation of the display may be visible. The visibility of the inner components of the rotation mechanism may be aesthetically undesirable.

An apparatus with covers to conceal an inner portion of the apparatus can allow for rotation of a display while concealing inner components of a rotation mechanism of the display. For example, the cover can conceal the inner portion of the apparatus when the display is in a particular orientation. When the display is rotated to a different orientation, the cover can be concealed in the apparatus. Allowing the cover to conceal the inner portion of the apparatus in one orientation of the display and concealing the cover when the display is in a different orientation can provide for an aesthetically desirable apparatus.

FIG. 1illustrates a perspective view of an example of an apparatus100with covers to conceal an inner portion of the apparatus100consistent with the disclosure. Apparatus100can include a base101, arm102, sidewalls103, cover104, top channel122, middle channel124, and bottom channel126. Cover104can include top door106, bottom door108, and hinge114. Hinge114can include first pin116, second pin118, and third pin120. First pin116can include torsion spring128. Second pin118can include torsion spring130.

As illustrated inFIG. 1, apparatus100can include arm102. As used herein, the term “arm” refers to a structural member. Arm102can be connected to a display, as is further described in connection withFIGS. 2 and 3.

Arm102can be connected to cover104. As used herein, the term “cover” can, refers to a piece of material to veil from sight another piece of material or cavity. For example, cover104can veil from sight inner portion105of apparatus100.

Cover104can conceal inner portion105of apparatus100when arm102is in a particular orientation. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 1, arm102can be oriented in a vertical orientation relative to base101. As used herein, the term “base” refers to a bottom support of apparatus100. In the vertical orientation, cover104can veil from sight inner portion105of apparatus100, which can provide for an aesthetically desirable apparatus100when arm102is in the vertical orientation.

Cover104can be concealed in the inner portion105of apparatus100when arm102is in a different orientation. For example, when arm102is rotated to a horizontal orientation relative to base101of apparatus100, cover104can be concealed in the inner portion105of apparatus100, as is further described in connection withFIGS. 3 and 4B.

The vertical orientation of arm102and horizontal orientation of arm102can be measured relative to base101of apparatus100. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 1, arm102can be oriented vertically, or substantially vertically, relative to base101. As used herein, the term “substantially” intends that the characteristic does not have to be absolute, but is close enough so as to achieve the characteristic. For example, “substantially vertical” is not limited to absolute vertical. Further, “substantially horizontal” is not limited to absolutely horizontal. For instance, arm102can be no more than 0.5°, 1°, 2°, 5°, or 10°, etc. of absolutely vertical. Further, “substantially horizontal” is not limited to absolutely horizontal. For instance, arm102can be no more than 0.5°, 1°, 2°, 5°, or 10°, etc. of absolutely horizontal.

As illustrated inFIG. 1, apparatus100can include a housing. As used herein, the term “housing” refers to a casing of a mechanism.

The housing can include a top door106and a bottom door108. As used herein, the term “door” refers to a movable barrier to close off an area. For example, top door106and bottom door108can close off inner portion105of apparatus100.

Top door106can be connected to arm102. For example, in the orientation illustrated inFIG. 1, top door106can include a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion of top door106can be located nearer to arm102than the bottom portion of top door106. Top door106can be connected to arm102at a top portion of top door106.

Bottom door108can be located adjacent to top door106and oriented in a lengthwise manner with respect to top door106. As used herein, the term “lengthwise” refers to an orientation in a direction parallel with an object's length. For example, bottom door108can be oriented in a direction parallel with a length of top door106. In the orientation illustrated inFIG. 1, bottom door108can include a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion of bottom door108can be located nearer to arm102than the bottom portion of bottom door108.

Top door106and bottom door108can be connected via hinge114. As used herein, the term “hinge” refers to a mechanical bearing that connects two objects to allow an angle of rotation between the two objects. For example, hinge114can connect top door106with bottom door108to allow for an angle of rotation between top door106and bottom door108, as is further described in connection withFIGS. 3 and 4B. Hinge114can be connected to a bottom portion of top door106and to a top portion of bottom door108.

Apparatus100can include sidewall103. As used herein, the term “sidewall” refers to a wall that serves as a side of a structure. For example, sidewall103can be a material with a surface that serves as a side of apparatus100. Although not illustrated inFIG. 1for clarity and so as not to obscure examples of the disclosure, apparatus100can include two sidewalls103. Sidewalls103can be located parallel to each other and function to close off inner portion105of apparatus100on the sides of apparatus100.

Sidewall103can include a plurality of channels122,124,126. As used herein, the term “channel” refers to a groove in a surface of a material. For example, sidewall103can include top channel122, middle channel124, and bottom channel126. As illustrated inFIG. 1, channel122, channel124, and channel126can include unique shapes. The unique shapes of channels122,124, and126can facilitate movement of hinge114in response to rotation of arm102, as is further described in connection withFIGS. 2 and 3.

As previously described above, apparatus100can include two sidewalls103. Although not illustrated inFIG. 1for clarity and so as not to obscure examples of the disclosure, both sidewalls103can include channels122,124, and126. For example, sidewall103illustrated inFIG. 1can include channel122, and the sidewall103not illustrated inFIG. 1can include a channel that is the same shape as channel122but located in a surface of the sidewall103not illustrated inFIG. 1but located opposite of the sidewall103illustrated inFIG. 1. Additionally, sidewall103illustrated inFIG. 1can include channel124, and the sidewall103not illustrated inFIG. 1can include a channel that is the same shape as channel124but located in a surface of the sidewall103not illustrated inFIG. 1but located opposite of the sidewall103illustrated inFIG. 1. Further, sidewall103illustrated inFIG. 1can include channel126, and the sidewall103not illustrated inFIG. 1can include a channel that is the same shape as channel126but located in a surface of the sidewall103not illustrated inFIG. 1but located opposite of the sidewall103illustrated inFIG. 1.

The shape of channels122,124, and126can be a curved “S” shape. However, as illustrated inFIG. 1, the curved “S” shapes of channels122,124, and126may not be the same. For instance, the slopes and curves of channel122can be different than the slopes and curves of channels124and/or126.

Although the shape of channels122,124, and126are illustrated inFIG. 1as being curved “S” shapes, examples of the disclosure are not so limited. For example, channels122,124, and126can be any other shape to facilitate movement of hinge114in response to rotation of arm102, as is further described in connection withFIGS. 2 and 3.

Hinge114can include a plurality of pins116,118, and120. As used herein, the term “pin” refers to a rod to allow for movement of parts in a particular manner relative to each other. In some examples, pins116and120can be located in holes of adjacent parts in order to fasten the parts together while allowing for movement of the parts in a particular manner relative to each other.

Hinge114can be connected to top door106via pin116. For instance, the bottom portion of top door106can include holes and hinge114can include holes such that pin116is located in the holes of top door106and hinge114to fasten hinge114and top door106together. Pin116can allow for movement of top door106relative to hinge114as arm102is rotated from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

Similarly, hinge114can be connected to bottom door108via pin120. For instance, the top portion of bottom door108can include holes and hinge114can include holes such that pin120is located in the holes of bottom door108and hinge114to fasten hinge114and bottom door108together. Pin120can allow for movement of bottom door108relative to hinge114as arm102is rotated from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

As described above, hinge114can further include pin118. Pin118can be located in holes of hinge114. Portions of pin118can overlap the holes of hinge114such that they are located in channel124. For example, a width (e.g., a diameter) of pin118can be slightly smaller than a width of channel124such that pin118can be located in channel124.

Similar to pin118and as described above, pins116and120can be located in holes of hinge114. Additionally, portions of pins116and120can overlap the holes of hinge114. The overlapping portions of pin116can be located in channel122. For example, a width (e.g., a diameter) of pin116can be slightly smaller than a width of channel122such that pin116can be located in channel122. Additionally, the overlapping portions of pin120can be located in channel126, where a width of pin120can be slightly smaller than a width of channel126such that pin120can be located in channel126.

Pins116,118, and120, located in channels122,124, and126, respectively, can guide top door106, bottom door108, and hinge114through a range of motion that occurs in response to rotation of arm102from the vertical orientation, as illustrated inFIG. 1, to a horizontal orientation. As used herein, the term “range of motion” refers to a distance that an object may travel while properly attached to another object. For example, as arm102rotates from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, top door106and bottom door108can fold in on each other about hinge114. As used herein, the term “fold” refers to bringing two pieces closer to each other. Channels122,124, and126can guide top door106, bottom door108, and hinge114as arm102rotates, concealing cover104in inner portion105of apparatus100, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

Pin116can include torsion spring128. As used herein, the term “spring” refers to a mechanical device that can store mechanical energy. Torsion spring128can be a spring that stores mechanical energy as a result of a torsional (e.g., rotational) force being applied to torsion spring128.

Torsion spring128can provide a force on top door106when arm102is in a vertical orientation. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 1, arm102is located in the vertical orientation. Torsion spring128can have a rotational force applied to torsion spring128in the orientation illustrated inFIG. 1. As a result, torsion spring128can provide a reactive force to inner surface110of top door106when arm102is in the vertical orientation illustrated inFIG. 1.

Pin120can include torsional spring130. Similarly, torsion spring130can provide a force on bottom door108when arm102is in a vertical orientation. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 1, arm102is located in the vertical orientation. Torsion spring130can have a rotational force applied to torsion spring130in the orientation illustrated inFIG. 1. As a result, torsion spring130can provide a reactive force to inner surface112of bottom door108when arm102is in the vertical orientation illustrated inFIG. 1.

The reactive forces applied by torsion spring128on top door106and torsion spring130on bottom door108, respectively, can allow for top door106to be oriented lengthwise with respect to bottom door108, and vice versa when arm102is in the vertical orientation. In other words, torsion springs128and130can provide forces to bias top door and bottom door108in a “negative” X-direction and a “positive” Y-direction as indicated by the X-Y coordinate plane illustrated inFIG. 1. The forces provided by torsion springs128and130on top door106and bottom door108, respectively, can prevent top door106and bottom door108from sagging towards inner portion105of apparatus100, which can provide for an aesthetically desirable cover for apparatus100. When arm102is rotated to a horizontal orientation, torsion springs128and130no longer apply a force to top door106and bottom door108, respectively.

Arm102can be rotated. For example, arm102can be rotated from a vertical orientation (e.g., as illustrated inFIG. 1) to a horizontal orientation relative to base101of apparatus100. Channels122,124, and126can guide top door106, bottom door108, and hinge114as top door106and bottom door108fold in on each other in response to arm102being rotated from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

FIG. 2illustrates a side view of an example of a system232with covers to conceal an inner portion of an apparatus consistent with the disclosure. The system232can include arm202, housing234, and display238. Housing234can include top door206, bottom door208, hinge214, and channels222,224,226. Hinge214can include pins216,218, and220.

As previously described in connection withFIG. 1, arm202can be connected to top door206of housing234. As illustrated inFIG. 2, arm202can be oriented in a vertical orientation. Hinge214can connect top door206and bottom door208.

Housing234can include channels222,224, and226. Each channel222,224, and226can include a unique shape. For example, as previously described in connection withFIG. 1, each channel222,224, and226can include a unique curved “S” shape. The unique “S” shapes of channels222,224, and226can be different in order to guide top door206, bottom door208, and hinge214through a range of motion as arm202is rotated from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

Pin216can connect hinge214to a bottom portion of top door206. Pin216can be located in top channel222. Pin220can connect hinge214to a top portion of bottom door208. Pin220can be located in bottom channel226. Pin218can be located in middle channel224.

Top channel222can guide pin216, middle channel224can guide pin218, and bottom channel can guide pin220as top door206, bottom door208, and hinge214move through a range of motion as arm202rotates through a range of motion from a vertical orientation (e.g., as illustrated inFIG. 2) to a horizontal orientation to cause top door206and bottom door208to fold in on each other. For example, arm202can rotate to a horizontal orientation (e.g., in a counter-clockwise direction relative to the orientation of system232as illustrated inFIG. 2). Channels222,224, and226can guide pins216,218, and220, respectively, as top door206and bottom door208to fold in on each other, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

For example, as arm202begins to rotate (e.g., in a counter-clockwise direction) towards the horizontal orientation, a torque can be applied to top door206by arm202in a “negative” X-direction as indicated by the X-Y coordinate plane illustrated inFIG. 2. The torque applied to top door206can cause top door206to begin to rotate (e.g., in a counter-clockwise direction) about hinge214. Top door206can begin to rotate before bottom door208. The rotation of top door206prior to the rotation of bottom door208beginning can prevent top door206and bottom door208from crashing into each other during rotation.

The rotation of top door206can cause a force to be applied to bottom door208by top door206in a “positive” X-direction. The forces discussed above can cause top door206and bottom door208to fold in on each other, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

As illustrated inFIG. 2, display238can be connected to arm202. Display238can be oriented in a vertical orientation relative to the base of housing234. Display238can be rotated as arm202is rotated from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, as is further described in connection withFIG. 3.

FIG. 3illustrates a side view of an example of a computing device with covers to conceal an inner portion of an apparatus consistent with the disclosure. The computing device336can include arm302, housing334, and display338. Housing334can include top door306, bottom door308, hinge314, and channels322,324,326. Hinge314can include pins316,318,320.

Similar to the apparatus and system described in connection withFIGS. 1 and 2, respectively, computing device336can include arm302. Arm302can be connected to top door306. Display338can be connected to arm302.

As illustrated inFIG. 3, arm302can rotate from a vertical orientation (e.g., as previously illustrated and described in connection withFIGS. 1 and 2) to a horizontal orientation relative to a base of housing334. In the vertical orientation, arm302can rotate towards top door306and bottom door308, causing top door306and bottom door308to fold in on each other about hinge314. In other words, arm302can rotate in a counter-clockwise direction from the vertical position to the horizontal position illustrated inFIG. 3.

Top door306and bottom door308can fold in on each other about hinge314in response to rotation of arm302from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation. For example, top door306and bottom door308can rotate relative to each other about hinge314such that top door306and bottom door308are brought closer to each other.

Top door306and bottom door308can fold in on each other in response to rotation of arm302. As previously described in connection withFIG. 2, as arm302begins to rotate (e.g., in a counter-clockwise direction) towards the horizontal orientation, a torque is applied in a “negative” X-direction as indicated by the X-Y coordinate plane illustrated inFIG. 3. The torque can cause top door306to begin to rotate about hinge314. Top door306can rotate about hinge314prior to bottom door308. The rotation of top door306prior to the rotation of bottom door308beginning can prevent top door306and bottom door308from crashing into each other as they fold towards each other.

At a point, the rotation of top door306can cause a force to be applied to bottom door308by top door306in a “positive” X-direction, causing bottom door308to rotate (e.g., in a clockwise direction). As a result, the top door306and bottom door308can fold in on each other as a result of the rotation of arm302in a counter-clockwise direction.

As bottom door308is folded in towards top door306, a bottom portion of bottom door308can slide linearly in a “positive” X-direction. For example, as a top portion of bottom door308rotates about hinge314, the bottom portion of bottom door308can slide linearly in a “positive” X-direction.

Although not illustrated inFIG. 3for clarity and so as not to obscure examples of the disclosure, top door306can include an outer surface and bottom door308can include an outer surface. The outer surfaces of top door306and bottom door308can be surfaces that are opposite to the inner surfaces (e.g., inner surface110and inner surface112of top door106and bottom door108, respectively, as previously described in connection withFIG. 1) of top door306and bottom door308. As arm302moves towards the horizontal orientation, the outer surfaces of top door306and bottom door308can fold in towards each other. When arm302is in the horizontal orientation, the outer surface of top door306can be adjacent to the outer surface of bottom door308.

Hinge314can include pins316,318, and320. Pins316,318, and320can be located in channels322,324,326, respectively. The unique shape of channels322,324, and326can guide top door306, bottom door308, and hinge314as top door306and bottom door308fold in towards each other in response to rotation of arm302from the vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation.

As previously described in connection withFIG. 1, the pins can include a diameter that is slightly smaller than the width of the corresponding channel the pins are located in. For example, pin316can include a slightly smaller diameter than the width of top channel322, pin318can include a slightly smaller diameter than the width of middle channel324, and pin320can include a slightly smaller diameter than the width of bottom channel326.

In some examples, the diameter of pin316can be different than the diameter of pin318and/or pin320. For example, the diameter of pin316can be slightly larger than the diameter of pins318and320. As a result, pin316can be located in top channel322having an interference fit in top channel322.

As a result of the interference fit of pin316in top channel322, when arm302begins to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction, top door306can begin to rotate before bottom door308. The friction caused by the interference fit of pin316in top channel322can further cause rotation of top door306prior to the rotation of bottom door308beginning, which can help to prevent top door306and bottom door308from crashing into each other as they fold towards each other.

As arm302is rotated towards the horizontal orientation, display338can be rotated to display information to a user of computing device336. In some examples, display338can be oriented as illustrated inFIG. 3to allow for a user to input information to computing device336via display338. For example, display338can be oriented such that a user can input information via a touch-screen GUI of display338utilizing a stylus or other input mechanism. The orientation of display338can allow for easier input via the stylus as compared to the vertical orientation of the display as illustrated inFIG. 2.

When arm302is in the horizontal orientation, top door306and bottom door308can be concealed in the inner portion of housing334. Concealing top door306and bottom door308in the inner portion of housing334when display338and arm302are oriented as illustrated inFIG. 3can provide for an aesthetically desirable apparatus.

In some examples, arm302can be rotated from the horizontal orientation (e.g., as illustrated inFIG. 3) back to the vertical orientation (e.g., as illustrated inFIG. 2). The unique shape of channels322,324,326can guide top door306, bottom door308, and hinge314through a range of motion as arm302is rotated towards the vertical orientation. As a result, top door306and bottom door308can rotate away from each other about hinge314as arm302is rotated from the horizontal orientation to the vertical orientation so that the top door can be oriented lengthwise with respect to the bottom door, as illustrated inFIG. 2.

FIG. 4Aillustrates a perspective view of an example of an apparatus440with covers to conceal an inner portion of the apparatus440consistent with the disclosure. The apparatus440can include arm402, constant force spring442-1,442-2(referred to collectively herein as constant force spring442), cover444, and corner446. Cover444can include first end448and second end450.

As illustrated inFIG. 4A, apparatus440can include arm402. Similar to the arm previously described inFIGS. 1-3, arm402can be connected to a display.

Arm402can be connected to cover444. Similar to the cover (e.g., the top door and bottom door) described in connection withFIGS. 1-3, cover444can conceal an inner portion of apparatus440. Cover444can conceal an inner portion of apparatus400when arm402is in a vertical orientation. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 4A, arm402can be in a vertical orientation with respect to a base of apparatus440.

Cover444can be a flexible material. As used herein, the term “flexible” refers to a material property that allows for the material to be capable of being bent, curved, or with its shape otherwise modified without breaking. For example, cover444can be curved about a corner446without breaking when arm402is rotated from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, as is further described in connection withFIG. 4B.

In some examples, cover444can be a flexible fabric. For example, cover444can be a nylon, polyester, or other flexible fabric. In some examples, the flexible fabric can include a backing.

In some examples, cover444can be a flexible mesh. For example, cover444can be a barrier including connected strands of metal, fiber, or other flexible materials. In some examples, the flexible mesh can include a backing.

In some examples, cover444can be a flexible slatted cover. For example, cover444can include a series of pieces of material that can fit next to each other and be interlocked via a series of pins, where the series of pieces of material can be flexible about the series of pins.

Cover444can include a first end448. In the orientation illustrated inFIG. 4A, first end448can be a top portion of cover444. Cover444can be connected to arm402at the first end448of cover444.

Cover444can include a second end450. In the orientation illustrated inFIG. 4A, second end450can be a bottom portion of cover444. Cover444can be connected to constant force spring442at second end450of cover444. As used herein, the term “constant force spring” refers to a pre-stressed flat strip of spring material (e.g., steel or other material) formed into constant radius coils such that, when the strip of material is extended (e.g., deflected), the coils resist the deflection force.

For example, in the orientation illustrated inFIG. 4A, a portion of constant force spring442can be connected to second end450of cover444. As a result of the vertical orientation of arm402, the portion of constant force spring442can be deflected. As a result of the orientation illustrated inFIG. 4A, constant force spring442can resist the deflection force being generated on constant force spring442by cover444.

In other words, in the orientation illustrated inFIG. 4A, the constant force spring442can deflect to keep the flexible material of cover444taut such that the cover conceals the inner portion of apparatus440. As used herein, the term “taut” refers to tightly drawn. For instance, cover444can be tightly drawn so that cover444does not sag in the orientation illustrated inFIG. 4A.

In some examples, cover444can be attached to an extension spring. As used herein, the term “extension spring” refers to a spring with wire in a cylindrical helical orientation that provides a force when the extension spring is extended or pulled. For instance, an extension spring can be connected to second end450of cover444. As a result of the vertical orientation of arm402, the extension spring can be extended. As a result of the orientation illustrated inFIG. 4A, the extension spring can resist the extension force being generated on the extension spring by cover444.

Arm402can be rotated from the vertical orientation (e.g., as illustrated inFIG. 4A) to a horizontal orientation. For example, arm402can rotate counter-clockwise from the horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation. As a result of the rotation of arm402, cover444can be concealed in an inner portion of apparatus440, as is further described in connection withFIG. 4B.

FIG. 4Billustrates a perspective view of an example of an apparatus440with covers to conceal an inner portion of the apparatus440consistent with the disclosure. The apparatus440can include arm402, constant force spring442-1,442-2, cover444, and corner446. Cover444can include first end448and second end450.

As previously described in connection withFIG. 4A, arm402can rotate from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation. As illustrated inFIG. 4B, arm402can be in the horizontal orientation.

As a result of the rotation of arm402from the vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation, arm402can generate a force on cover444as a result of first end448of cover444being connected to arm402. As arm402rotates, the coils of constant force spring442can begin to wind back into a coil, providing a pulling force on second end450of cover444. As used herein, the term “wind” refers to coiling of a material around a point. For example, constant force spring442can begin to pull the deflected portion of constant force spring442back towards constant force spring442, pulling second end450of cover444with it.

As arm402rotates towards the horizontal orientation, cover444can be pulled around corner446of apparatus440, as illustrated inFIG. 4B. The flexible material of cover444can allow for cover444to be pulled around corner446without damaging or breaking cover444.

In some examples, and as previously described in connection withFIG. 4A, the spring can be an extension spring. The extension spring can be extended when arm402is in a vertical orientation and can be retracted as arm402is rotated towards a horizontal orientation. The retraction of the extension spring can similarly pull cover444around corner446.

As a result of the rotation of arm402from the vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation, cover444can be concealed in apparatus440. Allowing the cover to conceal the inner portion of the apparatus in one orientation of the display and concealing the cover when the display is in a different orientation as a result of the arm being in a different orientation can provide for an aesthetically desirable apparatus.

In the foregoing detailed description of the disclosure, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration how examples of the disclosure may be practiced. These examples are described in sufficient detail to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to practice the examples of this disclosure, and it is to be understood that other examples may be utilized and that process, electrical, and/or structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Further, as used herein, “a” can refer to one such thing or more than one such thing.

The figures herein follow a numbering convention in which the first digit corresponds to the drawing figure number and the remaining digits identify an element or component in the drawing. For example, reference numeral102may refer to element102inFIG. 1and an analogous element may be identified by reference numeral202inFIG. 2. Elements shown in the various figures herein can be added, exchanged, and/or eliminated to provide additional examples of the disclosure. In addition, the proportion and the relative scale of the elements provided in the figures are intended to illustrate the examples of the disclosure, and should not be taken in a limiting sense.

It can be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on,” “connected to”, “coupled to”, or “coupled with” another element, it can be directly on, connected, or coupled with the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an object is “directly coupled to” or “directly coupled with” another element it is understood that are no intervening elements (adhesives, screws, other elements) etc.
