DAMPENING A HINGED COMPONENT

According to an example a dampening system for a hinged component may include a spring having a first end hooked onto a chassis and a second end hooked onto to a strap, in which the strap is connected to the hinged component. The dampening system may also include a curved guide element attached to the chassis, in which the spring is to bend around a portion of the curved guide element as the strap is moved from a first position to a second position. 1. A dampening system for a hinged component , said dampening system comprising:a spring having a first end hooked onto a chassis and a second end hooked onto a strap, the strap connected to the hinged component;a curved guide element attached to the chassis, the spring to bend around a portion of the curved guide element as the strap is moved from a first position to a second position; anda label provided on a wall of the chassis at a location at which the spring is to contact the wall, wherein the label has a lower coefficient of friction as compared with the wall.2. The dampening system according to claim 1 , further comprising:a stop tab disposed on a wall of the chassis, the wall defining an opening through which the strap extends, anda notch of the strap that is to contact to the stop tab,wherein the spring and the curved guide element are to apply a force onto the strap to facilitate contact between the notch and the stop tab when the strap is in the second position.3. The dampening system according to claim 1 , wherein the strap moves along a first plane and wherein the spring extends along the first plane.4. The dampening system according to claim 1 , wherein the curved guide element is positioned between the first end of the spring and the strap.5. (canceled)6. The dampening system according to claim 1 , wherein the spring has a spring constant that is sufficient to enable the hinged component to be moved from the first angle to the second angle at a specified rate.7. The dampening system according to claim 1 , ...

Door hinge

Examples of a hinge for a door panel are described. In some examples, the hinge may include a base component comprising a curvilinear surface. The hinge may also include a first linkage coupled to the base component at a first rotation axis. The hinge may further include a second linkage coupled to the first linkage at a second rotation axis. The second linkage may include a follower component to contact the curvilinear surface of the base component. The curvilinear surface may define rotation of the second linkage about the second rotation axis as the first linkage rotates about the first rotation axis.

A method to form an electronic device

An electronic device (102) includes a substrate (104) and at least one electronic component formed on the substrate (104). THe device also includes a lid (106) coupled to the substrate (104), in which the lid (106) at least partially covers the electronic component. The lid is partially trenched using a microblasting processes.

Printing device door spring

Printing device door spring

A door for a printing device may include a spring having a first and a second end, the second end coupled to the door and the first end biased away from a surface of the door and a groove into which the first end of the spring may be placed into wherein when the first end of the spring is placed into the groove, the door is deflected in the direction that the spring is biased.

Electrode mounted getter

Electrode-mounted getter

A getter (26) for a lamp (10) includes a substrate (28), having a generally annular shape, and a heat-activated getter material (36) disposed on the substrate. The getter material (36) is configured to absorb undesired chemical impurities within the lamp. The substrate (28) defines an inner aperture (30), configured to deformably press-fit onto an electrode (44) of a lamp so as to conduct heat from the electrode to the getter material.
