An example system includes a display panel comprising an adjustable light source. A light sensor is disposed proximate to the display panel on an opposite surface from the adjustable light source. A controller is used to measure an intensity of light from the light sensor and to control an intensity of the adjustable light source, based, at least in part, on the intensity of measured light.

In some examples, a system for alerts of mixed reality (MR) devices includes a receiver engine to receive an input from a building sensor in response to the building sensor detecting an event, and a generator engine to cause a MR device to generate an alert in response to the input from the building sensor.

Alerts of mixed reality devices

In some examples, a system for alerts of mixed reality (MR) devices includes a receiver engine to receive an input from a sensor of a MR device in response to the sensor detecting a person in an environment in which the MR device is located, and a generator engine to cause the MR device to generate an alert in response to the detected person based on an identity of the detected person.

Example implementations relate to custom operating system (OS) images. For example, booting a user device to a custom OS image includes presenting a user interface (UI) for creating a custom OS image for portable use, storing the custom OS image on a database for information technology (IT) management purposes, sending, based on a request, the custom OS image from the database to an secure external device, and authenticating, based on a policy, the custom OS image on the secure external device for use on a user device without an OS image or a hard drive disk (HDD).

A video conferencing system conducting a videoconference comprising a computing device comprising a processor that, upon receiving input to mute the videoconference from a first participant of the videoconference creates a looping video and displays the looping video to a number of participants of the videoconference and converts detected speech of a number of participants of the videoconference into text and displays the text on a monitor of the computing device.

Muting a videoconference

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for remote touch detection. According to one embodiment, an infrared light source is projected across a front surface of a display via at least one light emitting device. Furthermore, an infrared signal is transmitted in a direction of the front surface of the display via a remote pointing device. A surface target position is then determined based on measurement data caused by disruption of a portion of the infrared light source of the light emitting device by either the infrared signal or a physical touch from a user.

In one embodiment a computing device comprises a processor, a memory module coupled to the process and comprising logic instructions stored in a computer readable medium which, when executed, configure the processor to initiate boot operations in a computing device, present an authentication challenge when authentication is required to boot the computing device, continue boot operations in response to a successful response to the authentication challenge, and invoke an error routine in response to an unsuccessful response to the authentication challenge.

Secure operating system loader

In one embodiment, a computer system comprises one or more processors, a circuit board assembly having at least one SATA port, a general purpose input/output port proximate the SATA port, signal generating logic to generate a signal when the general purpose input/output port is coupled to a connector, and a memory module communicatively connected to the one or more processors and comprising logic instructions stored in a computer readable medium which, when executed on the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to configure the SATA port according to the signal generated by the signal generating circuitry.

SATA/eSATA port configuration

A preferred embodiment of the invention enables I/O port POST codes to be accessed via a universal serial bus ('USB') port of the computer system: BIOS writes an I/O port POST code to a USB port. A device coupled to the USB port reads the I/O port POST code and presents the code on a display.
