In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an output device, a radar, a memory, and a processor in communication with the output device, the radar, and the memory. The radar is to collect position data of a user relative to the apparatus. The memory is to store a threshold. The processor is to determine if the position data of the user exceeds the threshold and to adjust a setting of the output device in response to the position data of the user determined to exceed the threshold.

Setting adjustments based on radar

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a microphone, a radar, a memory, and a processor in communication with the microphone, the radar, and the memory. The microphone is to receive audio signals. The radar is to collect data on users in a location. The memory is to store known body positions associated with having a side-conversation. The processor is to determine that a user is having a side-conversation based on the data collected by the radar compared to the known body positions associated with having a side-conversation and filter noise associated with the side-conversation received by the microphone from a direction associated with the user.

Noise filtrations based on radar

A technique includes detecting a power transition of a processor-based system and controlling operation of a camera of the processor-based system based on the detection of the power transition. Controlling the operation of the camera includes triggering a process to disable the camera in response to detection of the power transition.

Controlling operations of cameras based on power state transitions

An example computing device may include a housing having an outer panel, the outer panel comprising a first array of openings through the outer panel, an inner panel opposite the outer panel, the inner panel comprising a second array of openings and a third array of openings different than the second array of openings and an actuator to move the inner panel relative to the outer panel between (1) a first position in which the second array of openings are at least partially aligned with the first array of openings and the third array of openings are out of alignment with the first array of openings, and (2) a second position in which the third array of openings are at least partially aligned with the first array of openings and the second array of openings are out of alignment with the first array of openings.

The present disclosure provides a color changing apparatus. The color changing apparatus includes a solar cell assembly to absorb solar energy and converse the solar energy to thermal energy or electromagnetic radiation. The color changing apparatus also includes a color changing element to be in contact with the solar cell and display different color features by absorbing the thermal energy or electromagnetic radiation provided by the solar cell assembly.

Color changing apparatuses with solar cells

A computing device can include a wireless power module and a haptic module to move the computing device in a direction. A controller in the computing device can detect a misalignment of the wireless power module with a wireless power transmitter. The controller can control the haptic module to move the computing device to be aligned with the wireless power transmitter.

Wireless power alignment

Examples disclosed herein provide a hinge assembly for a computing device. One example hinge assembly includes a first hinge attached along a back side of a base member of the computing device, and a second hinge attached along a back surface of a display member of the computing device. The hinge assembly includes a first support including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first support is attached to the first hinge at the first end and attached to the second hinge at the second end. The support is disposed along the back surface of the display member outside a perimeter of a display surface of the display member.

Hinge assembly for a computing device

A display () comprising a display screen () is repositionable with respect to a deck () comprising keys (). The display () is repositionable between a raised position and a lowered horizontal position. An antenna () is located within the deck () at a location outwardly beyond the display () when the display () is in the lowered horizontal position.

Multi-position display deck and antenna

A latch is disclosed. The latch has a hook that rotates to engage with a case for a computer. The hook has one side fabricated from a ferrous material. The hook is unlatched by placing a magnet near the ferrous material thereby causing the hook to rotate and disengage with the top case.

Latch for a computer case

A computing device with a hinge coupled to a display component and to a base for the display component to reposition relative to the base, a first set of magnets at first locations of the display component and the base, and a second set of magnets at second locations of the display component and the base.

Magnets at display component and base

An antenna and a material. The material can include signal blocking strands and signal passing strands.

Material including signal passing and signal blocking strands

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a dual-orientation docking apparatus for a mobile computing device. According to one embodiment, the docking apparatus includes a main body having a first side and a second side perpendicular to the first side. A docking connector is disposed on the first side of the main body, and a locking member formed on the second side of the main body. Furthermore, the locking member is configured to automatically engage and maintain a mobile computing device in a docked state when the mobile device is moved from a first orientation to a second orientation.
