An information handling system peripheral display couples a midplane to a display panel back side with punched metal geometric structures that slide into midplane slots. A snap of the midplane couples to the back side when in a predetermined alignment. A timing controller board of the display panel has an edge connector that interfaces with a scalar board edge connector when the scalar board couples with slots at posts of the back side. The scalar board couples display cable ports to accept display information from an information handling system and extends the display cable ports out of openings of the midplane.

A camera integrates a magnet at one end of a housing to magnetically attract and attach the camera to a front side of a peripheral display, such as to support a video conference through an information handling system interfaced with the display. A touch sensor disposed at the camera housing, such as at the front face surface encircling the camera module, detects a single finger touch to command a change between communication of video stream images and a static stored image from the camera. Communication of a static image by the camera maintains a wireless local area network interface for the camera so that a rapid change back to video stream images may be accomplished without restarting the wireless communication interface.

An information handling system motherboard interfaces with other components, such as an I/O board and a display, through a cable backplane having an M.2 edge card connector and coupled to a housing with a snap in cable retainer. The motherboard slides into position at the housing to have an edge card extending past one side to engage into the edge card connector. The cable backplane is a flexible cable that routes through the hinge up lid housing portion of the system to communicate with a display and/or camera in the lid portion, or to route back into the main housing portion to communicate with an I/O board.

An information handling system keyboard membrane integrates a high speed communication link, such as a differential serial pair, that communicates between a motherboard and a port exposed at a side of the information handling system housing. A communications hub in the membrane, such as a Thunderbolt hub, coordinates communication of information through the high speed link and communication of key inputs to the motherboard.

An information handling system having a display magnetically couples a peripheral camera to the display with a ferromagnetic material disposed behind the display and a magnet included in the camera housing. A metallic inner frame couples a camera assembly at one end of a cylindrical housing and the magnet is at an opposing end. A thermal spreader of thermally conductive material has at tapered conical shape with substantially two degrees of taper before assembly into the cylindrical housing. Insertion of the tapered thermal spreader compress the larger circumference to press the thermal spreader uniformly out and against an inner surface of the cylindrical housing.

A camera integrates a magnet at one end of a housing to magnetically attract and attach the camera to a front side of a peripheral display, such as to support a video conference through an information handling system interfaced with the display. The camera has a housing of a light guide material, such as an extruded acrylic, that guides light from the display panel to the front of the camera. A camera dock having a charging light indicator illuminates from the rear of the camera through the light guide material to the front of the camera to present a charging state of the camera in the dock.

A portable information handling system keyboard is tested for wear to determine reuse or recycling by subjecting the information handling system to visual inspection performed by a camera that includes an evaluation of key wear based in part on a keyboard language in a key lattice. The key lattice couples to a keyboard frame over a membrane having contact sensors and extends plural keyboard language members towards the membrane that identify by contact against the membrane the language of the plural keys in the keyboard lattice.

End users subscribe to use information handling systems having a selected of available performance characteristics defined by a display configuration selected to build the information handling systems. A manufacturer meets subscriptions with information handling systems built from an inventory of new displays, deployed displays of information handling system in use by subscribers, and separated displays taken from returned information handling systems and re-used. End user subscriptions are met in part by building replacement information handling systems with separated displays having a useful life remaining that aligns with end user display usage patterns tracked over time, benchmarked performance metrics and end user subscription performance characteristics.

A portable information handling system is assembled and disassembled by a keystone assembly that couples at an upper surface of the portable housing to overlap a keyboard assembly that covers processing components disposed in the portable housing. The keyboard assembly includes a membrane having a first portion with key press detection sensors contiguous to a second portion with a touch detection sensor that supports a touchpad. In one embodiment, the membrane integrates a printed circuit board that couples a key matrix controller and a touch detection controller interfaced with a communications hub, such as a USB hub, to communicate key and touchpad inputs to a motherboard through a flexible connector portion of the membrane.

In some examples, a sensor node is mounted to a structure and includes a microphone that is coupled to the structure. The sensor node records, at a first time, first audio data, using the microphone, filters the first audio data to create first filtered audio, records, at a second time that occurs after the first time, second audio data using the microphone, filters the second audio data to create second filtered audio, and determines a difference in decibels between a first volume of the first filtered audio and a second volume of the second filtered audio. If the sensor node determines that the difference in decibels is greater than a predetermined threshold, then the sensor node sends a notification of intrusion activity that includes the difference in decibels.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect tunneling and other activities

In some examples, a sensor node is mounted to a wood item using two metal fasteners. The sensor node measures an ambient temperature using a thermometer, measures an ambient humidity using a hygrometer, and measures, using an ohmmeter, a resistance of the wood item between the two metal fasteners. The sensor node determines, based on the resistance, a moisture content of the wood item. Based at least in part on determining that: the ambient temperature is greater than a temperature threshold, the ambient humidity is greater than a humidity threshold, and the moisture content is greater than a moisture threshold, the sensor node captures audio data using a microphone that is coupled to the wood item. Based at least in part on determining that the audio data indicates pest activity, the sensor node sends, using a communication interface, a notification of pest activity that includes the audio data.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect pest activity

In some examples, a central hub receives, from a sensor node that is mounted to a wood item, a notification including sensor data comprising audio data captured by a microphone of the sensor node that is coupled to the wood item. The audio data is captured by the sensor node based at least in part on the sensor node determining that: an ambient temperature is greater than a temperature threshold, an ambient humidity is greater than a humidity threshold, and a moisture content of the wood item is greater than a moisture threshold. The hub performs an analysis of the sensor data using an artificial intelligence algorithm. Based on the analysis, the hub determines a presence of a pest in the wood item and sends a message, indicating the presence of the pest, to a computing device.

A portable information handling system is assembled and disassembled by a keystone assembly that couples at an upper surface of the portable housing to overlap a keyboard assembly that covers processing components disposed in the portable housing. A motherboard couples to the portable housing under the keyboard assembly with retaining nuts extending from the housing, the motherboard retained in an engaged position by a cooling fan that directs cooling airflow out an exhaust. The exhaust integrates an antenna and coaxial cable in a nonconductive material, such as plastic, and has connectors exposed at the motherboard to interface with a radio, such as for WiFi or Bluetooth. A metallic cooling channel exposed in the exhaust and thermally coupled to the CPU by a heat pipe provides an antenna ground plane and/or a floating portion that acts as a directional parabolic element.

End users subscribe to use information handling systems having a selected of available performance characteristics defined by plural components selected to build the information handling systems. A manufacturer meets subscriptions with information handling systems built from an inventory of new components, deployed components of information handling system is use by subscribers, and separated components taken from returned information handling systems and re-used. End user subscriptions are met in part by building information handling systems with separated components having a useful life remaining that aligns with end user usage patterns tracked over time.

Information handling system disposition automated using system metrics

A portable information handling system having an integrated display magnetically couples a peripheral camera to the integrated display with a ferromagnetic material disposed behind only a portion of the display, such as less than 10 percent of the integrated display area. In one embodiment, a ferromagnetic plate is disposed in the housing behind the display, the plate only a fractional area of the display. In another embodiment, a ferromagnetic material, such as an opposing polarity magnet of substantially the same circumference as the peripheral camera, is disposed behind the display and housing to attract the peripheral camera through both the display and housing. When the peripheral camera is detected at the display, one or both of the peripheral camera microphone and an integrated microphone of the information handling system are used to capture audio.
