A portable information handling system may be used in tablet-laptop mode, where a first body and a second body are rotatable about each other within an angular range of about 360&#xb0;. Depending on the detected angular rotation of the first body about the second body, among other detectable usage aspects, line-of-sight operation or non-line-of-sight operation of touch input devices, such as a touch pad and/or a keyboard, may be activated.

Non-line-of-sight touch input device

An information handling system includes a primary integrated display platform and a secondary integrated display platform attached via a hinge, and including a passive cooling system, a dynamic thermal management system, and a processor. The information handling system further includes an application window locator system for determining a location of a software application display window running on the information handling system on the primary integrated display platform or the secondary integrated display platform.

System and method for dynamic thermal management in passively cooled device with a plurality of display surfaces

Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with providing a user-accessible card slot are provided. A removable card carrier a configured to mechanically interface an information handling system may include a body and a cover. The body may be adapted to hold a card. The cover may be movably coupled to the body such that exterior surfaces of the cover and the information handling system are substantially flush with each other when card carrier is disposed in the information handling system.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for controlling a keyboard to provide automatic compensation for force variation in sensitivity over time for a force sensing keyboard. In certain embodiments, an information handling system includes a keyboard control system software which can automatically compensate for this variation in sensitivity over time.

A convertible information handling system transitions to tablet and tablet stand configurations having a keyboard with a friction enhanced surface disposed against a support surface, the keyboard resisting movement of the information handling system relative to the support surface. For example, the keyboard has a rubberized plastic outer surface on non-moving keys to effectively increase the surface area of the keyboard in contact with the support surface. In one embodiment, the friction enhanced surface has its friction characteristics increased when proximate a support surface and decreased when distal a support surface.

A thermoelectric cooler assembly comprises a cold plate, a first thermoelectric cooler, and a second thermoelectric cooler. The cold plate has a first side and a second side. The first thermoelectric cooler is in thermal communication with the first side of the cold plate, and the second thermoelectric cooler is in thermal communication with the second side of the cold plate. A heat exchanger assembly is also disclosed.

An information handling system (IHS) input system includes an IHS having an IHS processor and an IHS display screen coupled to the IHS processor. A pen is configurable to provide an input to the IHS. The pen includes a power supply system, a pen tip, a pen processor coupled to the pen tip, a pen memory that includes instructions that, when executed by the pen processor, causes the pen processor to provide a wake engine, and a motion activated device that is coupled between the power supply system and the pen processor. The motion activated device is configured, in response to movement of the pen, to couple the power supply system to the pen processor such that the wake engine activates the pen tip to configure the pen tip to provide inputs to the IHS processor through the IHS display screen.

Active pen system

An information handling system converts from a closed position to a tablet position by rotating a lid with a display 360 degrees about a hinge having synchronized and continuous motion. The hinge has first and second axles held in a spaced and substantially parallel orientation by a support. A flexible compressive member translates motion of each axle to the other to provide fluid movement of the lid relative to the housing. For instance, ball bearings disposed in guide formed in the support translate rotational motion between a first and second axles.

An information handling system includes a touch screen, a motion sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive inputs from the touch screen, receive signals from the motion sensor, determine a correlation between the inputs from the touch screen and signals from the motion sensor, and perform an action in response to the correlation. The inputs from the touch screen correspond to a touch contact with the touch screen, and the signals from the motion sensor corresponding to a touch impact to the touch screen.

Motion sensor-enhanced touch screen

Low profile portable information handling systems rotationally couple a lid and chassis portion with a dual axis hinge that couples at one axis with an extension and countersink engagement to enhance system strength. For example, a conical boss in a lid support frame extends into a countersink formed in a hinge axis and includes threads to accept a screw inserted from the hinge axis into the conical boss. The conical boss inner diameter extends the space available for placement of threads to engage a screw to provide enhanced coupling strength between the hinge axis and lid support frame.

Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with attaching portions of equipment chassis to the remainder of the equipment are provided. An information handling system may include a housing, a cover configured to at least partially enclose the housing, and an engagement assembly fixedly coupled to the housing. The cover may include an open slot having an opening and a projection. The may have a bearing movable relative to the housing, the bearing configured, when moved, to pass through the opening to engage with the projection to couple the cover to the housing.
