Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a fan. The fan can include a center shaft, fan blades that extend from the center shaft, and a plurality of magnets on an outside portion of at least two of the fan blades, where stator coils interact with the magnets to drive the blades around the center shaft. The center shaft and fan blades are a single component from the same material. In some examples, the center shaft and fan blades were created using a metal injection molding process.

Fan for an electronic device

There is disclosed in one example, an encasement for a mobile computer, including: an external casing in a clamshell form factor, the external casing including a base, a secondary display chassis hingedly connected to the base at a secondary hinge, and a primary display chassis hingedly connected to the secondary display chassis at a primary hinge disposed at a removed edge of the secondary display chassis from the secondary hinge, the primary display chassis to substantially overlay the secondary display chassis and the base when the primary hinge is in a closed position; and pivot means disposed to substantially bias the secondary hinge against movement from a selected position in at least one direction in the absence of an electrical input.

Infinite holding pivot mechanisms for dual screen systems

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive data related to a gaze of a user, determine that a display should be adjusted based on the received data related to the gaze of the user, and activate a motor, where the motor causes the height of the display to be adjusted. In an example, the electronic device can also determine that the display should be rotated based on the received data related to the gaze of the user and rotate the display.

Display adjustment

Illustrative examples include a system for coupling a first electronic device to a second electronic device. The first electronic device may include a housing having a first engagement surface and a first magnet array. The first engagement surface may be adapted to receive the second electronic device. The second electronic device may include a second magnet array. An actuator coupled to the first magnet array may move the first magnet array relative to the housing and the second magnetic array, to attractively couple or repulsively de-couple the second electronic device from the first electronic device.

Coupling systems and methods for electronic devices

Technologies for a hinge for a dual-screen clamshell computing device include a hinge having a drive shaft and a driven shaft. The drive shaft is fixed to a member such as a secondary display housing of the computing device. The driven shaft is rotatably coupled to another member such as a base housing of the computing device. The hinge includes a one-way needle bearing fixed to the same member as the driven shaft. The driven shaft passes through the one-way needle bearing, which allows free rotation of the driven shaft in one direction and prevents rotation of the driven shaft in the other direction. The hinge includes a coupling joint that selectively couples the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The computing device includes a trigger that is operable to selectively engage and disengage the coupling joint of the hinge. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

On-demand torque engagement mechanism for second display adjustability

Examples apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture and methods to adjust a keyboard position are disclosed. An example keyboard position adjustment system includes a keyboard orientation detector to determine a first keyboard position of a keyboard and/or a hand position detector to determine a hand position near the keyboard. The example system also includes an adjuster to move the keyboard to a second keyboard position based on the first keyboard position and/or the hand position.

Ergonomic keyboard position adjustment

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive data related to thermal properties of a first heat source, activate an air mover based on the received data related to the thermal properties of the first heat source, where a majority of the air moved by the air mover is biased in a first direction, determine that the majority of the air should have a bias in a second direction, and reverse a direction of rotation of the air mover to cause the air moved by the air mover to have a bias in the second direction. In an example, the first direction towards the first heat source and the second direction is opposite the first direction and towards a second heat source.

Reversible direction thermal cooling system

Partitioned cooling for electronic devices and systems. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a casing; one or more components, including one or more components that include an active thermal element; a partition to separate area within the casing into a first cooling zone and a second cooling zone, wherein the first cooling zone provides cooling for the one or more components that include an active thermal element; and a first fan located in the first cooling zone, the first fan to produce airflow for cooling in the first cooling zone and a second fan located in the second cooling zone to produce airflow for the cooling in the second cooling zone.

Partitioned cooling for electronic devices and systems

Apparatus and methods including metal foam heat exchangers for dispersing exhaust flow are disclosed. A wearable device includes a housing having a form factor sized to be worn by a human. The housing has an exhaust port. The wearable device further includes a heat generating device carried within the housing. The heat generating device is to generate heat in operation. The wearable device further includes a metal foam heat exchanger disposed within the housing adjacent the exhaust port. The metal foam heat exchanger is to receive heat generated by the heat generating device. The metal foam heat exchanger defines multiple flow paths within the housing to disperse exhaust in multiple directions to reduce a flow velocity of the exhaust exiting the exhaust port.

Techniques related to a hinge in a computing device are described herein. The techniques may include forming a shaft to move rotationally, and forming a sliding component to move translationally as a result of rotational movement of the shaft.

Rotational to translational locking hinge

A portable computing device includes a body that has a display. A stand is connected to the body. The stand is operable to place the portable computing device in a viewing orientation in which the portable computing device rests on the stand or a carrying orientation in which the stand acts as a handle for lifting the portable computing device. A rotation device connected to the stand assists in positioning the display in a range of angles for viewing convenience.

Portable computing device having a movable stand

Some embodiments of a method, apparatus and computer system are described for vortex generator enhanced cooling. The computer system may include a housing and an apparatus. The apparatus may include one or more vortex generators coupled to a heat spreader and positioned in close proximity to an electronic component, and a flow of air to provide for an exchange of thermal energy, where the flow of air is provided by a configuration of the housing, and where the one or more vortex generators may promote turbulence to enhance the exchange of thermal energy of the electronic component. In some embodiments, an air mover may be used to increase the flow of air in the housing. Other embodiments are described.
