Abstract:
In one example a electronic device comprises a housing, at least one heat generating component disposed within the housing, at least one internal heat dissipation device positioned proximate the at least one heat generating component, and a thermal interface defined in at least a portion of the housing to allow direct thermal contact between the heat dissipation device and an external heat dissipation device. Other examples may be described.
Abstract:
The present application is directed to dynamic input mode selection. In general, a system may sense a user's finger approaching a surface of a display (e.g., an imminent user touch input) and, depending on at least one trigger condition, may perform at least one output operation. For example, a first trigger condition may cause a display to enlarge at least a portion of a displayed image based on the imminent user touch input, a second trigger condition may cause the display to present a menu corresponding to an object in the enlarged portion, etc. This functionality may be implemented utilizing either an operating system (OS)-aware configuration or an OS-unaware configuration. In an OS-aware configuration, an intent-to-touch (ITT) module may utilize application program interfaces (APIs) in the OS to facilitate display zooming, menu presentation, coordinate translation, etc. In an OS-unaware configuration, the ITT module may facilitate these actions without OS assistance.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for preserving privacy from a drone are disclosed herein. An example drone includes a privacy mode controller to, when the drone is within a restricted zone, flag data gathered by the drone in the restricted zone; and a private data deleter to, when the drone exits the restricted zone, delete the flagged data.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to instruct movement based on sensor data. An example apparatus includes a sensor data receiver to receive sensor data from a sensor device, a preference receiver to receive a user preference, and a preference analyzer to: in response to determining that the sensor data indicates that the user preference is not met at a first location, determine if a second location has a condition that meets the user preference, and in response to determining that the second location has the condition that meets the user preference, transmitting a notification to instruct movement to the second location.
