A portable information handing system. The portable information handling system includes a main housing portion, the main housing portion comprising first enclosure portion, a second enclosure portion, a motherboard, an electrical path detection component and a thermal characteristic selection system, the electrical path detection component being physically coupled between one of the first enclosure portion and the second enclosure portion and the motherboard, the thermal characteristic selection system determining a material of the one of the first enclosure portion and the second enclosure portion, the thermal characteristic selection system adjusting a thermal design power value based upon the material and a lid housing portion, the display chassis portion comprising a display component and a rear display cover portion.

Automated thermal property assignment based on surrounding part substrate

A main housing portion of a portable information handing system. The main housing portion includes: a top cover portion; a bottom cover portion; and, an information handling system locking system, the information handling system locking system including a bottom cover locking component, the bottom cover locking component being mounted to the bottom cover, the bottom cover locking component defining a bottom cover locking portion aperture, the bottom cover locking portion aperture being aligned with the top cover aperture.

Lock for a portable information handling system

Forming a casing of an information handling system using dual area bi-injection, the method including injecting a first material into a mold: i) at first locations of the mold to form a first portion of a casing, and ii) at second locations of the mold to form a second portion of the casing; and injecting a second material into the mold at third locations of the mold to form a third portion of the casing; wherein injection of the first material and the second material into the mold is done concurrently, wherein injection of the first and the second material into the mold forms a first bonding interface and a second bonding interface between the first material and the second material such that the second material is excluded from ingression to the first portion and the second portion of the casing.

Dual area bi-injection molding

A main housing portion of a portable information handing system. The main housing portion includes: a top cover portion; a bottom cover portion; and, an internal air intake ducting system, the internal air intake ducting system comprising a fan and a thermal channeling component thermally coupled to the fan, the thermal channeling component extending from an interior of a side of the bottom cover portion to the fan, the thermal channeling component and the bottom cover portion defining an air channel between the side of the bottom cover portion and the fan.

Thermal venting in a portable information handling system

An information handling system having a heat exchanger positioned near and in thermally-conductive conduct with an electrical, heat-generating component of the information handling system, such as a central processing unit or graphics processing unit. A fan directs air across the heat exchanger to cool the electrical component by convection. A first portion of the heat pipe may be in direct physical contact with the electrical component and a second portion of the heat pipe may be in thermal contact with the electrical component and the first portion and in direct physical contact with an additional heat exchanger. The fan may direct air across both heat exchangers to cool the electrical component.

Cooling system for an information handling system

A camera module for an information handling system, including: a camera having an electronic shutter; a capacitive sensor positioned proximate to the camera, the capacitive sensor configured to detect a change in capacitance at the capacitive sensor; a shutter controller computing module configured to: receive a first signal from the capacitive sensor indicating the change in capacitance at the capacitive sensor; process the first signal from the capacitive sensor, including determining that the first signal indicates to change a state of the electronic shutter; and in response to determining that the first signal indicates to change the state of the electronic shutter, providing, to the camera module, a second signal to adjust an initial state of the electronic shutter of the camera to a secondary state.

Capacitive switch for controlling a camera module for an information handling system

Systems and methods are disclosed for positioning an antenna in a portable information handling system. A portable information handling system includes a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The portable information handling system also includes a hinge assembly coupling the first and second housing portions, the hinge assembly comprising at least one gear to rotate the first and second housing portions relative to each other. In addition, the system includes an antenna frame coupled to the gear. The portable information handling system also includes an antenna coupled to the antenna frame, the antenna operable to communicate wirelessly with a wireless-enabled device.

Antenna integration in hinge shroud

An information handling system a flexible display screen, first and second display platforms, and a rack gear component. The flexible display screen is movably mounted to the first and second display platforms. The rack gear component is mounted between the first and second display platforms, and controls support of the flexible display screen.

A portable information handling system keyboard retracts from an extended position to a retracted position, the retracted position bring the keys into the portable information handling system housing to provide a compressed closed position of the housing. The keyboard keys are biased to the extended position with a metal dome that interacts with a scissor support structure.

Low profile information handling system keyboard

An information handling system includes a flexible display screen, first and second display platforms, and a plurality of micro-beads. The flexible display screen is movably mounted to the first and second display platforms. The plurality of micro-beads is coated on the flexible display screen, and the plurality of micro-beads comprises a protective layer of increase hardness relative to the flexible display screen.

Protection layer on a flexible substrate

A portable information handling system has a hinge assembly that rotationally couples lid and main portions with one or more communication cables passing between the lid and main portions. A flexible cover over the hinge assembly protects the cables and offers free rotational motion by stretching and compressing responsive to rotation of the lid and main portions relative to each other.

Information handling system low profile housing and hinge assembly

A portable information handling system has lid and main portions rotationally coupled to each other with a set of hinges having motion managed by rack and pinion gears. The rack translates motion between pinions by moving outward from the housing portions during rotation of the housing portions. A flexible cover over the rack stretches in response to movement of the rack to contain the hinges within the portable information handling system structure.
