An interface circuit in an electronic device may contend for access to a shared communication channel on behalf of the electronic device and a recipient electronic device, where the access has a duration. Then, the electronic device may provide a schedule frame intended for the recipient electronic device that includes information that specifies one or more time slots during the duration that are associated with the recipient electronic device and one or more communication functions of the recipient electronic device in the one or more time slots. Moreover, the electronic device may provide a data frame with data intended for the recipient electronic device. In response, the electronic device may receive a response frame associated with the recipient electronic device, where the response frame is received during at least one of the one or more time slots.

Low-latency Wi-Fi MAC-layer protocol

According to various embodiments, a housing for a computer system may be provided. The housing may include: an upper portion configured to hold an input device of the computer system; a lower portion comprising a foot of the housing for the computer system; and a pressure drop reducing mechanism configured to increase an airflow between the upper portion and the lower portion by moving the lower portion away from the upper portion.

Housing for a computer system, parts of a housing for a computer system, and methods for increasing an airflow in a housing of a computer system

According to various embodiments, a computing system may be provided. The computing system may include: a circuit configured to operate at a plurality of operation frequencies; a graphics output configured to output image data for display; a rate determiner configured to determine a frame rate of the graphics output; and a frequency setter configured to set an operation frequency of the circuit based on the determined frame rate.

Computing systems and methods for controlling a computing system

According to various embodiments, a data storage system may be provided. The data storage system may include: a first storage device; a second storage device; a data receiver configured to receive data to be stored in the data storage system and an indicator indicating a storage profile for the data; and a storage controller configured to determine based on the indicator whether to store the data on the first storage device or to store the data on the second storage device.

A key that includes a body with an optically transmissive or light permeable region and an optical film coupled to or carried by the light permeable region is disclosed. The key also includes a resilient structure coupled to the body. The key can be assembled or coupled to, or disposed relative or adjacent to, a display screen. The key also includes a switch actuator (e.g., an electromechanical switch actuator or contact element). Displacement of the key, more specifically the body of the key, displaces the switch actuator for actuating a switch. The resilient structure is configured to bias the body at a first position. The body can be actuated or displaced from the first position to a second position for effectuating corresponding displacement of the switch actuator and actuation of the switch. The resilient structure provides a positive tactile feedback upon user-directed or user-controlled actuation or displacement of the body.

Optically transmissive key assemblies for display-capable keyboards, keypads, or other user input devices

A system for providing a visual user environment includes a processing unit, a memory, a primary display device for providing a primary visual interface, and an adjunct communication device for providing an adjunct visual interface. In an embodiment, the adjunct display device is configured to present quasi-3D or 3D images. A process can include detecting an adjunct content event corresponding to adjunct visual content associated with an aspect of an application program; and selectively transferring one of an adjunct content notification and adjunct visual content to the adjunct communication device, wherein the adjunct content event corresponds to one of an application program installation sequence, an application program event, an indication of user proficiency in interacting with the application program, a communication session with a remote system, and a predefined visual sequence that is automatically selected for presentation to the user during one of application program installation and application program execution.

Computer peripheral display and communication device providing an adjunct 3D user interface

According to various embodiments, a computer system may be provided. The computer system may include: a housing with a protrusion; a heat generating device; a heat exchanger; and a heat pipe configured to transfer heat from a first end of the heat pipe to a second end of the heat pipe. The first end of the heat pipe may be coupled to the heat generating device. The second end of the heat pipe may be coupled to the heat exchanger. The second end of the heat pipe may be arranged in the protrusion of the housing.

Cooling system for a computer and method for assembling the same

A key that includes a body with an optically transmissive or light permeable region and an optical film coupled to or carried by the light permeable region. The key also includes a resilient structure coupled to the body. The key can be assembled or coupled to, or disposed relative or adjacent to, a display screen. The key also includes a switch actuator (e.g., an electromechanical switch actuator or contact element). Displacement of the key, more specifically the body of the key, displaces the switch actuator for actuating a switch. The resilient structure is configured to bias the body at a first position. The body can be actuated or displaced from the first position to a second position for effectuating corresponding displacement of the switch actuator and actuation of the switch. The resilient structure provides or establishes a positive tactile feedback upon user-directed or user-controlled actuation or displacement of the body. The resilient structure and/or the switch actuator is positioned and configured to minimize, reduce, or eliminate obstruction of light transmission through the light permeable region of the body.

A battery type detection approach is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of detecting a battery type can include: receiving a signal from a battery module in a portable computing device; determining if the signal is in a first state for at least a first predetermined time before transitioning to a second state; determining if the signal transitions from the second state to the first state after a second predetermined time, and identifying the battery type in response thereto; and asserting an indication of the battery type when a third predetermined time period after the transition from the second state to the first state has occurred.
