Compartment for magnet placement
An apparatus is provided which comprises: a chassis compartment having a bottom surface and walls orthogonal to the bottom, wherein the chassis compartment comprises: a rectangular opening, which may be designed to accept a microelectromechanical (MEMS) device and four slots, which may be designed to accept one or more magnet(s), extending outwardly from the rectangular opening, wherein each of the slots comprises: an inner opening having a length coextensive with a side of the rectangular opening, and an outer opening having corresponding ends that extend a length of the outer opening beyond the length of the inner opening. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a chassis compartment having a bottom surface and walls orthogonal to the bottom, wherein the chassis compartment comprises:
a rectangular opening;
a device in the rectangular opening, wherein the device comprises a microelectromechanical (MEMS) device; and
four slots extending outwardly from the rectangular opening, wherein each of the slots comprises:
an inner opening having a length coextensive with a side of the rectangular opening;
and an outer opening having corresponding semi-circular ends and a straight side that extend a length of the outer opening beyond the length of the inner opening, further comprising the inner openings of opposite slots having a first depth that is greater from an inner opening second depth of the other two slots.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising grooves within the bottom surface of the four slots.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the grooves comprise a longer groove connected with two parallel shorter grooves by orthogonal grooves.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising the orthogonal grooves of opposite slots having a first length that is different from an orthogonal groove second length of the other two slots.
5. The apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising the longer groove is within the bottom surface of the outer opening of the slots.
6. An apparatus comprising:
a chassis compartment having a bottom surface and walls orthogonal to the bottom, wherein the chassis compartment comprises:
a rectangular opening; and
four slots extending outwardly from the rectangular opening, wherein each of the slots comprises:
an inner opening having a length coextensive with a side of the rectangular opening;
and an outer opening having corresponding semi-circular ends and a straight side that extend a length of the outer opening beyond the length of the inner opening, further comprising the inner openings of opposite slots having a first depth that is greater from an inner opening second depth of the other two slots;
a device in the rectangular opening, wherein the device comprises a microelectromechanical (MEMS) device; and
one or more magnet(s) adjacent to the device in each of the slots.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising the magnets extending into the outer openings.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising the magnets of opposite slots having a first width that is different from a magnet second width of the other two slots.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising the magnets coupled with the bottom surface with an air cured epoxy.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising the magnets arranged so that polarities of neighboring magnet ends are differing.
11. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising the magnets arranged so that polarities of neighboring magnet ends are matching.
12. A system comprising:
a processor;
a display subsystem;
a wireless communication interface; and
an input/output (I/O) device, the I/O device comprising:
a chassis compartment having a bottom surface and walls orthogonal to the bottom,
wherein the chassis compartment comprises:
a rectangular opening; and four slots extending outwardly from the rectangular opening, wherein each of the slots comprises:
an inner opening having a length coextensive with a side of the rectangular opening;
and an outer opening having corresponding semi-circular ends and a straight side that extend a length of the outer opening beyond the length of the inner opening, further comprising the inner openings of opposite slots having a first depth that is greater from an inner opening second depth of the other two slots;
a MEMS device in the rectangular opening; and
one or more magnet(s) adjacent to the device in each of the slots.
13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising grooves within the bottom surface of the four slots, wherein the grooves comprise a longer groove connected with two parallel shorter grooves by orthogonal grooves.
14. The system of claim 13 , further comprising the longer groove is within the bottom surface of the outer opening of the slots.
15. The system of claim 12 , further comprising the magnets of opposite slots having a first width that is different from a magnet second width of the other two slots.
16. The system of claim 12 , further comprising the magnets arranged so that polarities of neighboring magnet ends are differing.
