Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to monitoring the integrity of the thermal interface material (TIM) of a semiconductor device directly by a monitoring component of a motherboard, a system on chip (SOC), or a remote device to measure either the electrical resistivity or capacitive property of the TIM, depending on the type of TIM being used, as a means to directly assess the thermal properties (conductivity, resistance, and/or impedance) of the TIM as it ages. In an aspect, the electrical resistivity or capacitive property of the TIM may be initially measured and charted, and thereafter, the changes in the electrical resistivity or capacitive property may be sensed by the monitoring component and, based on the delta of those changes, there may be remedial actions taken to mitigate impacts to the overall system performance and/or to prevent irreparable damage to the semiconductor device/system.

Abstract: Keyboards that are selectably configurable between a standard interface and a braille interface. In embodiments, the keyboard is equipped with six keys corresponding to six dots of a braille matrix, each of the keys equipped with a shape memory alloy spring or other mechanism to cause each of the keys to selectably extend above the keyboard plane. On activation, the six keys are extended and the remaining keys deactivated, to provide an easy to locate braille interface. On subsequent activation, the six keys are retracted and the keyboard is reverted to a standard interface. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for reducing air turbulence in a fan using a flow shaper. The fan including an impeller, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The flow shaper including a partition structure arranged at an inflection area between the first outlet and the second outlet. The flow shaper further including a first fin for the first outlet defining a first channel between the partition structure and the first fin. The first channel extending from a proximity of the impeller to the first outlet.

Abstract: A kickstand for ergonomically positioning a computer device is equipped with an integrated antenna. In embodiments, the kickstand stores into a recess on a computer device, and can be deployed to help place the computer device into an ergonomic position. A switch or other sensor in the computer device may detect when the kickstand is deployed, and switch a radio within the computer device from an internal antenna to the antenna integrated into the kickstand. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for self-sanitizing a device using the built-in screen display of the device (e.g., a laptop). The device includes a processor configured to execute instructions to determine a relationship between a location of a display of the device and a location of a keyboard surface of the device. The processor is also configured to execute instructions configured to, based on the relationship, enable a sanitization mode on the device and to configure the display to emit light toward the keyboard surface to sanitize the keyboard surface when the sanitization mode is enabled.

Abstract: A noise suppressing heat exchanger (also referred to as heat sink) includes a plurality of heat dissipating fins formed with baffles. The baffles suppress noise from a fan by slowing air flow and creating internal reflections within the heat exchanger that reflect noise away from the air flow path, absorbing sound energy and potentially setting up standing waves which dissipate noise via destructive interference. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A wireless computing device may include an internal antenna, a radio frequency (RF) transmission path that is switchably connectable to the internal antenna, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector configured to connect to an external antenna, a detector configured to detect if an external antenna is connected to the USB connector, and an antenna selector configured to (1) connect the internal antenna into the RF transmission path if the detector detects that no external antenna is connected to the USB connector and (2) disconnect the internal antenna from the RF transmission path and connect the external antenna into the RF transmission path if the detector detects that the external antenna is connected to the USB connector, thereby improving the wireless transmission/reception performance of the internal wireless module of the wireless computing device.
