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 base portion and a lid portion coupled to the base portion at a hinge configured such that the base portion and the lid portion can rotate between an open configuration of the electronic device and a closed configuration of the electronic device. The lid portion can include at least one segment that is to raise at least a portion of the base portion in response to a rotation toward the open configuration (e.g., opening the lid portion to access a touchpad or a keyboard of the electronic device, or to see a display of the electronic device).
Abstract:
Techniques are described for notebook hinge users. For example, a computing device may comprise a housing having a processor circuit and an input device, the input device arranged on a side of the housing, a lid having a digital display arranged on a side of the lid, a hinge arranged to couple the housing and the lid, and a sensor module coupled to the processor circuit, the sensor module arranged inside the hinge and operative to capture motion input outside of the computing device.

Abstract:
Particular embodiments described herein provide for device that includes a first housing that includes a first module, a second housing that includes a second module, and a hinge that rotatable couples the first housing to the second housing. The hinge can include a first axle, a second axle, and a plurality of hinge links. At least one of the hinge links includes an interconnect to provide a communication path between the first module and the second module.
Abstract:
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a tablet, that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of the electronic device may include a first housing and a second housing removably coupled to the first housing, where the second housing is configured to function as a stand for the first housing. The stand configuration can allow for user desired viewing of a first display located on the first housing and of a second display located on the second housing. Further, the second housing can be removed from the first housing and replaced with a different second housing.

Abstract:
A system and method for automatic session data transfer between computing devices based on zone transition detection are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: determine if a mobile or wearable computing device is located within a proximity zone around a location of a stationary computing device; establish an authorized wireless data connection with the mobile or wearable computing device via a wireless transceiver; determine if the mobile or wearable computing device is likely departing the proximity zone and if so, upload user session data to the mobile or wearable computing device; and determine if the mobile or wearable computing device is likely approaching the stationary computing device and if so, download user session data from the mobile or wearable computing device.
Abstract:
A keyboard assembly includes a transmitter electrode and one or more receiver electrodes that are used to generate an electric field above one or more keys of the assembly. The first electrode is located on a first level of a keyboard assembly and the second electrode is located on a second level of the keyboard assembly. The first level may correspond to a support plate of the assembly and the second level may correspond to a surface of a printed circuit board to which the second electrode is coupled. Alternatively, the first and second levels may correspond to different sides of a frame of the keyboard assembly. Disturbances in the electric field may be detected to perform a control operation of a host device that includes or is coupled to the keyboard assembly.
