Abstract:
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive a plurality of thermal parameters for a device, identify one or more of the plurality of thermal parameters that affect a thermal response of the device, and create a thermal vector for the device using the one or more of the plurality of thermal parameters that affect the thermal response of the device, where the thermal vector can be used to predict a new thermal response of the device. In an example, the thermal vector includes weighted thermal parameters.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may detect a hand-based object in front of a touchscreen, determine one or more motion attributes of the detected hand-based object and initiate a halt of one or more user interface updates associated with the touchscreen if the one or more attributes correspond to an impending impact between the hand-based object and the touchscreen. In one example, the hand is detected based on a signal from one or more of a micro-impulse radar (MIR) device, an infrared (IR) depth sensor or a camera.
Abstract:
Electronic device and housing for such devices are described and claimed. In one example a housing comprises a first end cap dimensioned to fit within a first open end of the housing and comprising a first bracket having a first cam surface positioned to engage the second surface of the printed circuit board when the first end cap is inserted into the first open end of the housing. Inserting the first end cap into the first open end of the housing causes the first cam surface to urge the printed circuit board in a direction which compresses the first heat generating component against an interior surface of the housing.
Abstract:
Embodiments are generally directed to determination of mobile display position and orientation using micropower impulse radar. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a display to present images; radar components to generate radar signal pulses and to generate distance data based on received return signals; radar antennae to transmit the radar signal pulses and to receive the return signals; and a processor to process signals and data, wherein the processor is to: process the return signals received by the radar antennae to determine a position and orientation of the display with respect to real objects in an environment and to determine a position of a vantage point of a user of the apparatus, and generate an augmented image including rendering a virtual object and superimposing the virtual object on an image including one or more real objects, the rendering of the virtual image being based at least in part on the determined position and orientation of the display and the determined vantage point of the user of the apparatus.
Abstract:
In one example an electronic device, comprises a base section and a display connectable to the base section and comprising a flexible emissive projection display (EPD) layer, and an electroactive polymer (EAP) structure coupled to the EPD layer. Other examples may be described.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a system includes a processor with at least one core to execute an application to provide intrusion detection and protection, a radar sensor to detect presence of one or more persons within a detection zone about the system and to output a detection notification responsive to the presence detection, and a peripheral controller coupled to the radar sensor to receive the detection notification and to provide the detection notification to the application, where the application is to cause a protection measure to be performed responsive to the detection notification. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Example blood pressure apparatus using active materials and related methods are described herein. An example apparatus includes a band to be worn around a limb of a user, an active material carried by the band and a controller to: (1) apply an activation signal to the active material to constrict blood flow in the limb, and (2) reduce the activation signal to allow blood flow in the limb.
Abstract:
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer, laptop, or tablet that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which may include any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of an information-processing device includes a logic component mounted on a circuit board. The information-processing device also includes a plastic layer surrounding the logic component. Further, the information-processing device includes a first metal layer surrounding the logic component. The plastic layer is integrated with the first metal layer.
Abstract:
In one example an electronic device comprises at least one electronic component and a chassis comprising a unitary body comprising a first major surface and a second major surface, a first wall and a second wall defining a chamber having a first opening to receive an electronic component. Other examples may be described.
Abstract:
In one example an electronic device comprises at least one electronic component and a body formed from a rigid material and comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, the body comprising at least one aperture extending between the first major surface and the second major surface and a cover formed from a semi-rigid material extending over the at least one aperture, wherein a portion of the cover extends through the aperture and is connected to the second major surface of the body. Other examples may be described.
