    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer or laptop, that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). The electronic device may also include a hinge assembly to secure a first housing of the electronic device to a second housing. The hinge assembly is to allow for electrical signals to pass between the first housing and the second housing and for a rotation of the first housing in relation to the second housing. The hinge assembly may include a plurality of discs to receive a plurality of segments of the accessory as the hinge assembly engages to secure the first housing to the second housing.

    Abstract: Semiconductor packages with programmable routing pathways are disclosed. The semiconductor package may have a source trace that may be electrically coupled to two or more different electrical pathways, where any of the electrical pathways may be activated to provide an electrical connection between the source trace and one or more destination nodes. Each of the electrical pathways may have a corresponding metal well with a correspond airgap overlying the metal well, as well as corresponding heating elements. If a particular heating element is energized, the heating element may melt metal in a corresponding metal well and the molten metal may migrate by capillary action into the overlying airgap to complete an electrical connection between the source trace and a destination node.
