Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to enable a modular printed circuit board separation tool. The separation tool can include a main body and a plurality of separation blades that extend from the main body. Each of the plurality of separation blades can be tapered and configured to fit between connections of a testing housing and a power and signal supply housing and when pressure is applied to the main body, the separation blades slide between the connections of the testing housing and the power and signal supply housing and separate the testing housing and the power and signal supply housing.

Modular printed circuit board separation tool

In one example an electronic device comprises a chassis, a processing device disposed in the chassis, a first heat spreader positioned adjacent the processing device and in thermal communication with the processing device, and a second heat spreader positioned adjacent the first heat spreader and in thermal communication with the first heat spreader. In some examples the second heat spreader is moveable between a first position in which the second heat spreader is disposed within the chassis and a second position in which at least a portion of the second heat spreader extends outside the chassis. Other examples may be described.

Retractable heat exchanger

Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with flexible heat spreader design are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an electronic device may include a component, a heat dissipation member, and a flexible member. The heat dissipation member may be coupled to the component via a flexible portion of the electronic device, the component located on a first side of the flexible portion and the heat dissipation member located on a second side of the flexible portion. The flexible member may be thermally coupled to the component and the heat dissipation member, wherein the flexible member extends along the flexible portion from the first side to the second side and is to transfer heat from the component to the heat dissipation member. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Flexible heat spreader

Systems, methods and apparatuses may provide for a flexible display assembly including a flexible display and a backplane coupled to the flexible display, wherein at least a portion of the backplane comprises a super elastic sheet. In one example, the backplane includes a first rigid sheet metal portion and a second rigid sheet metal portion, wherein the super-elastic sheet is joined between the first and second rigid sheet metal portions.

Super-elastic hinge for flexible display

Techniques and devices related to power adapters for mobile devices and, in particular, small form factor power adapters that allow a voltage droop during a power pulse exceeding a maximum output of the power adapter are discussed. For example, a small form factor and low voltage power adapter may include an adapter output power protection control that limits an output of the power adapter in response to a power pulse exceeding a maximum output of the power adapter.

Electronic device

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer or laptop, that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of the electronic device may include means for establishing a first electrical connection between a first base and a lid portion; and means for establishing a second electrical connection between a second base and the lid portion. The lid portion is removably coupled to a selected one of the first base and the second base.

Modular electronic device system with a detachable display

Electronic display device

A keyboard is to be designed as a standardized keyboard having a certain length, width and thickness. The keyboard may be used interchangeably among different mobile computer systems. A keyboard cable associated with the keyboard may be designed such that it can accommodate an interface connector at any location relative to a bottom end of the keyboard. One or more control devices may also be used in conjunction with the keyboard. The control device may be designed with standardized dimensions, electrical interface, interface connector and cable length to enable it to accompany the keyboard among the different mobile computer systems.

Interchangeable keyboard for computer systems

According to one embodiment, a system is disclosed. The system includes a chassis including a printed circuit board (PCB) and a battery pack. The battery pack includes a connector to enable the battery pack to couple to a PCB which is mounted either above the centerline of the battery pack connector and on or below the centerline of the battery pack power connector.

Universal battery pack

A thermal management device includes a thermally conductive core, a thermally conductive frame positioned around the core, the frame defining at least one opening, and at least one thermally conductive insert disposed in the opening in the frame.

Low noise heatsink

A retention mechanism for securing an electrical connector of a printed circuit card to an electrical connector of a main circuit board is presented. The retention mechanism has a base, through which each of the connectors fit, having a number of snaplets and a number of guiding ledges. The snaplets secure the retention mechanism to the electrical connector of the main circuit board, while the guiding ledges support the positioning of the electrical connector of the printed circuit card in the electrical connector of the main circuit board. A locking feature secures the electrical connector of the printed circuit card in place by fitting into a slot between a card arm and the main body of the printed circuit card. A handle extends from the locking feature, allowing for easy manipulation, so that the locking feature may be locked and unlocked and the printed circuit card may be inserted or removed at will.

Card retention mechanism

A device is disclosed herein for engaging and disengaging electrical connector halves, particularly electrical connector halves mounted on printed assembly boards that are to be electrically connected to a back plane. The device provides a drive train mechanism comprised of a plurality of gears and racks that, when attached, act to reduce the insertion force required to make the electrical connector halves disposed on the printed board assemblies and the back plane. A further aspect of the present invention involves the method of attaching a back plane to at least one stationary printed board assembly by actuation of a drive train.

Method for engaging and disengaging electrical connector halves

A processor retention assembly is disclosed. An embodiment of the processor retention assembly includes a first dual processor retention module and a second dual processor retention module. A connecting member is attached to the first dual processor retention module at a first end and is attached to the second dual processor retention module at a second end. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, covers are hingedly attached to each of the first and second dual processor retention modules.

Dual processor retention assembly

A circuit card retention mechanism having a base which is mounted around an electrical connecter of a mother board and has various embodiments of an extension piece for securing a circuit card to the electrical connecter of the mother board is presented. The base of the retention mechanism has a number of pointed bites which incline inwardly from the base and, working in opposition to one another, securely fasten the base to the electrical connecter of the mother board. A tie-wrap may be attached to the base and connected by a circuit card hook or a circuit card holder to the circuit card. Alternatively, a retainer clip with a snap lock which snaps onto the circuit card may be utilized.
