    Abstract: A mobile device having an internal frame and a sidebar configured to be coupled to the internal frame. The sidebar can include at least one button positioned in a button configuration on an exterior face of the sidebar and a sidebar contact positioned on an interior face of the sidebar. The sidebar can be positioned to interface with a frame contact when the sidebar is coupled to the internal frame. The frame can be operably coupled to a controller for a mobile device such that coupling the sidebar contact to the frame contact operably connects the at least one button of the sidebar to the controller. The sidebar can be exchanged with or decoupled from the frame and replaced with a second sidebar having a different button configuration from the original sidebar.

    Abstract: An electronic device is provided that implements thermally conductive plastic supports that may replace the typical use of “feet” used in conventional electronic devices. The thermally conductive supports may extend through the bottom chassis cover (e.g. the “D cover”) of the electronic device, and be mechanically and thermally coupled to a heat pipe that is in turn coupled to a heat source for which thermal regulation is utilized. The thermally conductive plastic supports may provide a heat path from the heat source to the bottom chassis cover and, when the electronic device is disposed on a surface, an additional heat path may be provided from the heat source to this surface.

    Abstract: Thermal management systems for electronic devices and related methods are disclosed. An example electronic device includes a chassis including a first cover and a second cover, the first cover including an upper surface and a plurality of side walls and the second cover including a lower surface of the chassis, the first cover and the second cover defining an internal cavity of the chassis, the first cover including a first device inlet formed in a first side wall of the first cover; a fan positioned in the internal cavity, the fan including a first fan inlet and a second fan inlet opposite the first fan inlet; and a side channel positioned between the first device inlet and the first fan inlet to direct fluid flow between the first device inlet and the first fan inlet.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed for accessories for electronic devices and removable fan cartridges for electronic devices. An example electronic device accessory includes a backplate panel removably couplable to a first chassis of a first electronic device to replace a portion of a first cover of the first chassis and removably couplable to a second chassis of a second electronic device to replace a portion of a second cover of the second chassis. The example electronic device accessory also includes a mating device to releasably couple the backplate panel to the first chassis and independently releasably couple the backplate panel to the second chassis and a fan coupled to the backplate panel. The fan is to increase a Z height of the first electronic device when the backplate panel is coupled to the first electronic device and increase a Z height of the second electronic device when the backplate panel is coupled to the second electronic device.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed for deploying feet and/or including hinge gaskets to improve thermal solutions and/or acoustic experience with electronic devices. An example electronic device includes a first panel; a second panel; a hinge coupling the first panel and the second panel; a foot coupled to the second panel, the foot movable between a deployed position and a retracted position; a sensor to detect a position of the first panel; and programmable circuitry to execute instructions to cause the foot to be moved between the deployed position and the retracted position based on the position of the first panel.
