    Abstract: A power-up scheme for a computing system that applies a biometric sensor (e.g., a fingerprint sensor, eye sensor, etc.) to authenticate a user before enabling power-up of the computing system or to resume transition to a power state (e.g., one of the power states defined by the Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)). Output of the biometric sensor is compared against data of a registered user for a match. The data may include an original copy of an output of the biometric sensor saved in a non-volatile memory (e.g., serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash device). If a match exists, a logic in the computing system will allow the computing system to power-up. In the absence of a match, the computing system will not be powered up. In some examples, battery charging is also disabled if the match is not found.

    Abstract: Technologies for synchronized overclocking setting between multiple networked computing devices include a master computing device and multiple slave computing devices communicating over a network. The master computing device establishes a connection with the slave computing devices. Establishing the connection may include synchronizing the slave computing devices with a master time clock of the master computing device. The master computing device determines its own overclocking setting and requests overlocking settings from the slave computing devices. The overclocking settings may include processor frequency, processor voltage, or other overclocking parameters. The master computing device determines a best overclocking setting from its own overclocking setting and the overclocking settings received from the slave computing device. The master computing device advertises the best overclocking setting to the slave computing devices. The slave computing devices may implement the best overclocking setting. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques for wireless charging in a system, method, and apparatus are described herein. An apparatus for charging at a wireless power receiver may include logic. The logic is configured to supply voltage received at the wireless power receiver at a first power level to a battery that is initially fully discharged, wherein the power of the first power level is received during a predefined interval of a fully discharged battery protocol. The logic is to monitor a second power level available at the battery, and initiate a wireless handshake with a wireless power transmitter inductively coupled to the wireless power receiver indicating configurations of the wireless power receiver upon detection of the second power level meeting or exceeding a predefined threshold.

    Abstract: A power-management scheme where when a system-on-chip (SoC) is in an active state, control and monitoring logic or circuitry turns off all wake logic or circuits for various associated intellectual property (IP) blocks. Based on user defined operating system power manager (OSPM) policies, OSPM kicks off an interrupt to the control and monitoring logic or circuitry to turn off or power gate the wake logic for individual IP blocks in the SoC. As such, wake logic that are idle in active state (e.g., S0 state) and would otherwise draw power in the S0 state are now turned off, thus saving power and/or extending battery life for the system. When the SoC is in a low power state, then the control and monitoring logic or circuitry selectively turns on the wake logic for the associated IP blocks based on detected user presence for the computing system having the SoC.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor may include processing circuits to execute instructions. The processor may also include at least one circuit to: detect a management mode trigger event during operation of the processor in a first power state, the management mode trigger event to initiate a management mode in the processor; in response to a detection of the management mode trigger event, switch the processor from the first power state to a second power state; and after a switch of the processor from the first power state to the second power state, initiate the management mode in the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for dynamic configuration of audio production are described. Audio production nodes (“APNs”) may produce audio. The APNs and may be configured to be compliant with a Precision Time Protocol (“PTP”). The APNs may be configured to perform dynamic configuration of audio production. An APN may receive configuration-related information transmitted from one or more other APNs, such as in association with operation of the PTP. An APN, in response to receipt of this configuration-related data, may modify configuration settings used for its audio production such as modification of timing, tone, power, intensity, equalization settings, or other configuration settings. The APN may be configured to produce its own configuration-related data for use by other APNs to modify the other APNs' configuration settings. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
