Abstract: Aspects described herein generally relate to an actuated locking device. The actuated locking device includes a locking mechanism moveable between a first position and a second position, an actuator connected to the locking mechanism that actuates the locking mechanism for moving between the first position and the second position, and a hardstop switch that limits movement of the locking mechanism to at least one of the first position or the second position, in contact with the hardstop switch. The hardstop switch comprises a body including an electrically conductive surface defining a switch that completes an electrical circuit when the locking mechanism contacts the body of the hardstop switch.

Abstract: Reversible connector orientation detection circuitry, reversibly connectible devices having multiple device portions, and methods for determining a connection orientation of multiple device portions of a hardware device are provided herein. A hardware device can include a first device portion and a second device portion. A first resistor can be in a first side of the first device portion. A second resistor can be in a first side of the second device portion, and a third resistor can be in a second side of the second device portion. Connection of the first device portion to the second device portion in different orientations creates, through the resistors, different voltages that can be compared by a digital logic device to indicate orientation. The compared voltages are within either a low voltage range below a digital logic low threshold or a high voltage range above a digital logic high threshold.

Abstract: Thermal management devices and systems, and corresponding methods of cooling computing devices are described herein. Such devices, systems, and methods may be advantageous in providing optimal thermal management for the computing device and/or minimizing acoustics in the computing device for a plurality of rotational fan speeds. Additionally, optimal thermal management may provide an increase in system performance and an increase in computing device life expectancy. In one example, a thermal management system includes a fan configured to move air through an outlet opening of the fan and at least one airflow guide positioned adjacent to the outlet opening. The at least one airflow guide is configured to direct movement of the air from the outlet opening to dissipate heat within an electronic device, and the at least one airflow guide is configured to pivot about an axis to move between a first position to a second position based on a change in a rotational speed of the fan.

Abstract: A foldable computing device comprises a first frame rotatably coupled to a second frame. The second frame comprises a push-to-open mechanism comprising an actuator and a power switch located for actuation by the actuator. A detection mechanism detects a displaced position of the actuator that corresponds to releasing the foldable computing device from a closed configuration. Actuation of the power switch is detected and used with detection of the displaced position of the actuator to control an operating state of the computing device.
