Abstract:
Systems and methods of determining tasks to be performed by a modular entity are disclosed. For instance, data associated with one or more tasks performed by one or more first modular entities within one or more modular computing environments can be obtained. Each first modular entity includes at least one modular component. A performance score can be determined for each task performed by each first modular entity. The performance scores can provide a measure of efficiency of a performance of a task by a first modular entity. An entity profile can be determined for each first modular entity based at least in part on the determined performance scores. At least one task to be performed by at least one modular entity can be determined based at least in part on the determined entity profiles for the one or more first modular entities.
Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for managing operation of an electronic device based on the connection(s) of hardware module(s) to the electronic drive via a support housing. According to certain aspects, the electronic device may detect when a hardware module connects to the support housing. The electronic device may identify a function associated with the hardware module, where the function may be a built-in function of the hardware module itself or of the electronic device. The electronic device may accordingly activate the identified function.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of determining network configurations for a modular computing entity are disclosed. For instance, a desired functionality to be implemented by a modular computing entity can be identified. Capacity data associated with one or more candidate network devices that are available to join a network associated with the modular computing entity is received. A network combination to implement the desired functionality can be determined based at least in part on the received capacity data. The network combination can include at least a subset of the candidate network devices.

Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for managing operation of an electronic device based on the connection(s) of hardware module(s) to the electronic drive via a support housing. According to certain aspects, the electronic device may activate and identify a hardware module that is connected to a controlling position of the support housing. The electronic device may identify a function associated with the hardware module, where the function may be a built-in function of the hardware module itself or of the electronic device. The electronic device may accordingly activate the identified function.
Abstract:
In one general aspect, a computing device can include a lid, and a base coupled to the lid by a hinge. The hinge can include a first disc including a first pin coupled to the lid and an inner surface. The hinge can include a second disc including a second pin coupled to the base and an outer surface. The first disc can be concentric with and can partially surround the second disc. The hinge can further include a friction element disposed between the inner surface of the first disc and the outer surface of the second disc. The first disc can be configured to rotate about the second disc.
Abstract:
A portable computer includes a first housing having a first wall defining a first opening and a surface surrounding the opening and having an inside periphery. A first component is removably received within the opening and defines a body with an outer periphery that is inset with respect to the inner periphery of the opening. A first locking member is removably attached within the opening. The first locking member defines an outer periphery extending along the inner periphery of the first opening of the housing. The first locking member also defines a second opening having an inner periphery that is inset with respect to the outer periphery of the first component body such that a portion of the first locking member overlies a first portion of the first component body. A second portion of the first component is exposed within the opening of the first locking member.
