Abstract
An example electronic device includes a housing including a first housing member and a second housing member pivotably coupled to one another via a hinge. In addition, the electronic device includes a motor positioned in the second housing member comprising an output shaft. Further, the electronic device includes an actuatable member positioned in the first housing member, wherein the motor is to actuate the actuatable member via a plurality of gears coupled across the hinge. Still further, the electronic device includes a controller coupled to the motor. The controller is to actuate the motor to reduce a force applied to the output shaft in response to detecting a torque on the hinge.IPC Classes ?
