Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to reporting a first updated threshold level related to a battery. A parameter related to power to be drawn by the computing device for the first OS to enter a hibernate state is monitored. The first updated threshold level are set based on the parameter. The first updated threshold level is reported to the first OS. The first OS is to vary the first battery level threshold based on the first updated threshold level.

Report updated threshold level based on parameter

A system including a chassis (), a vent () in the chassis to exchange air from outside the chassis with air inside the chassis, a temperature sensor () inside the chassis, a power supply () to supply power to the system, and a controller () coupled to the temperature sensor to perform an airflow block response action () if the controller determines the temperature from the temperature sensor is higher than a threshold temperature for a level of power being drawn by the system from the power supply.

An image can be sensed at a first device. The image can have a first orientation. A second orientation expected by or associated with a second device can be determined. The image can be modified so that the image has the second orientation if the first orientation differs from the second orientation. The modified image can be transmitted to the second device.

Modification of images based on orientation

Examples of electronic circuits and methods are provided. A power adapter is coupled to load device such that a power node and a signal node and a ground node are common to both entities. A supply voltage is regulated and provided by the power adapter to the load device in accordance with a voltage sensed at the signal node. Electrical current drawn by the load device is limited in accordance with a voltage sensed at the signal node.

Power supply voltage and load consumption control

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to hibernation. A device includes a non-volatile memory including a solid state memory and a volatile memory. The volatile memory includes a plurality of pages. One or more of the pages are caused to be stored to non-volatile memory based on whether the respective pages are sourced from the solid state memory.

Hibernation based on page source

A charging device that includes an alternating current (AC) direct current (DC) adapter and a wireless charger. In one implementation the charging device combines an AC/DC adapter and a wireless charger into a same housing.

A depth-sensing camera system includes a common sensor configured to record color and infrared data from a target, an infrared illuminant that projects infrared light on the target, and a control logic that switches a mode of operation of the camera between a color mode and an infrared mode. When the camera system is in the infrared mode, the infrared illuminant operates to project the infrared light on the target and when in the color mode, the infrared illuminant is disabled. The camera system also includes a color buffer for storing color chroma and luma values and a depth buffer for storing infrared luma data.

Depth-sensing camera system

Embodiments of various electrical housings, particularly display housings, are provided. In this regard, a representative housing, among others, includes one or more electrical components that are disposed at the housing; a thermal attachment that is designed to transfer heat generated by the one or more electrical components; and a rear enclosure that is designed to engage the thermal attachment. The rear enclosure is further designed to dissipate the heat received from the thermal attachment.

Dissipating heat within housings for electrical components

A device including at least one of an NFC reader or and NFC tag. An impact sensor to detect an impact to the device. Wherein the impact to the device effects whether data is transferred to a second device.

Near-field communication and impact sensor

Embodiments herein relate to setting a voltage of an adapter (). In an embodiment, the adapter is to measure a current output by the adapter, compare the measured current at the adapter to a first current and to output a DC voltage. The adapter is to set a level of the DC voltage output by the adapter based on the comparison.

Voltage setting of adapter

An image sensor can have a first orientation. If the first orientation differs from a second orientation, values can be read from the image sensor in a manner so as to generate image data having the second orientation.
