Carrier device for placement of thermal interface materials. At least some embodiments are systems including a first electrical component that defines a first surface at a first elevation relative to an underlying structure, a second electrical component that defines a second surface at a second elevation relative to the underlying structure, a metallic member configured to conduct heat from the electrical components, and a carrier between the electrical components and the metallic member. The carrier includes a third and fourth surface configured to mate with the first and second surfaces, respectively, a first aperture through the third surface, and a second aperture through the fourth surface. The system further includes a first thermal interface material coupled between the first electrical component and the metallic member through the first aperture, and a second thermal interface material coupled between the second electrical component and the metallic member through the second aperture.

A docking station comprises a sliding member accessible to a user of the docking station and coupled to a post. The station also comprises a locking mechanism configured to couple to a lock and comprising a stop surface and an apparatus capable of physically restraining an electronic device to the docking station. When the locking mechanism and the lock are locked together, and when the sliding member is adjusted from an unlocked status to a locked status, the stop surface is fixed in a locked state, the stop surface thereby fixing the post in a locked position, the post thereby fixing the sliding member in the locked status. When the sliding member is fixed in the locked status, the apparatus physically restrains the electronic device to the docking station.

An exemplary thermal protection system includes a body having a first surface, at least one stationary thermal member disposed at least partially proximate the first surface and at least one heat producing device. An aperture, defined by at least one exterior edge can penetrate both the body and the stationary thermal member. At least a portion of the heat producing device can be disposed proximate the aperture. A moveable thermal member translatable between a first position and a second position, can be disposed proximate the stationary thermal member, the aperture, and the heat producing device when in the first position. When in the first position, a first portion of the moveable thermal member can overlap at least a portion of the stationary thermal member. When in the second position, the moveable thermal member can be disposed distal to the aperture and the at least one heat producing device.

A lighted display device that includes a display device, a backlight device and an electrical delay circuit. The backlight device is disposed proximate the display device and configured to emit light directed to the display device. The ambient light sensor is configured to generate a signal to adjust a brightness level of the light from the backlight device based on a change in input ambient light. The electrical delay circuit is configured to apply a fixed, non-user configurable time delay to delay the adjustment of the brightness level of the light from the backlight.
