An information handling system includes a bottom case and a wireless charging puck. The bottom case includes a bay. The wireless charging puck fits into the bay, and is detachable from the bottom case. When the wireless charging puck is fitted into the bay, the wireless charging puck is configured as a power receiving unit to receive wireless power. When the wireless charging puck is detached from the bay, the wireless charging puck is configured as a power transmitting unit to provide wireless power to an external device.

Methods and systems for thermally managing data processing systems are disclosed. Data processing systems may provide computer implemented services to users thereof and/or other devices. The data processing systems may include various hardware components that perform computations used to provide the computer implemented services and may generate heat as a byproduct. To dissipate the heat generated by the hardware components, airflows proximate to the hardware components may be used to extract the heat. Once extracted, the heated airflows may be exhausted from the data processing systems. To facilitate use of the exhausted airflows, the airflows may be selectively directed in accordance with user preferences.

System and method for repurposing waste heat in computing devices

Forming a casing of an information handling system using dual area bi-injection, the method including injecting a first material into a mold: i) at first locations of the mold to form a first portion of a casing, and ii) at second locations of the mold to form a second portion of the casing; and injecting a second material into the mold at third locations of the mold to form a third portion of the casing; wherein injection of the first material and the second material into the mold is done concurrently, wherein injection of the first and the second material into the mold forms a first bonding interface and a second bonding interface between the first material and the second material such that the second material is excluded from ingression to the first portion and the second portion of the casing.

In a method and system for detachably docking a portable device to a docking device, the docking device is placed on a stable surface. The docking device includes a pair of moveable rear latches and moveable front latches, which are operable to latch on to corresponding matching slots of the portable device when docked. The portable device is aligned vertically on top of the docking device. A vertical force is applied on the portable device. When properly aligned a pair of alignment pins included in the docking device mate with corresponding notches on the portable device when the two devices are docked. A release latch on the docking device is operable to undock the two devices.

A locking device ( ) includes a first clip member ( ) and a second clip member ( ). The first and second clip members ( ) include a first and second clip base ( ), respectively. A first jaw ( ) extends outwardly from the first clip base ( ) whereas a second jaw ( ) extends outwardly from the second clip base ( ). The first and second clip members ( ) are connected together so that they may move with respect to each other between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the first and second jaws ( ) cooperate to form a locking loop ( ). The locking loop ( ) is adapted to fit through and lock with a locking feature ( ) on an object to be secured. When the first and second clip members ( ) are moved to the open position, the first and second jaws ( ) are separated by an opening. This opening facilitates positioning the locking device ( ) with the locking feature ( ) to permit the first and second jaws ( ) to pass through the feature ( ) when moved to the closed position. The locking device ( ) further includes a receiver arrangement ( ) located on the first and second clip bases ( ). The receiver arrangement ( ) forms a projection lock receiver opening for receiving a projection lock when the clip members are in the closed position.
