    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention utilize one or more vibration elements to enhance the audio output of a computing device. These vibration element(s) may comprise any conventional vibrating element including a mass element (i.e., counterweight) electrically driven via an actuator to produce the vibrations. The size of the mass element/counterweight may be selected based on the desired strength and frequency for the vibration components (i.e., lower frequencies may utilized larger/heavier mechanisms). Computing devices may process audio data and separately output some of the data for speakers (higher frequency data), and some of the data for vibration elements (lower frequency data). The surface where the device is placed creates a sounding board structure and the vibration elements generate the sensation of physical motion at low, sub-bass and sub-audio frequencies. This physical motion may be perceived by the user as low-frequency audio data, thereby enhancing the audio output of the speakers.

    Abstract: Apparatus, system and method to provide switchable coils in a computing device, comprising: a plurality of electrically conductive coils to transfer electromagnetic energy; a sensor coupled to a processor, to select a coil from among the plurality of electrically conductive coils; a switch to energize the selected coil; and a switch controller coupled to the switch and to the processor. In some embodiments, the plurality of coils may comprise an inductive charging interface. Some embodiments may further include a communication interface between the processor to the plurality of electrically conductive coils, the plurality of coils comprising an interface for near-field communications (NFC). The antenna coils may be arranged to provide improved NFC coverage when the computing device is in a respective predetermined physical configuration. Sensors may be used to detect the configuration and switch NFC communications to use a preferred antenna coil for the detected configuration.
