Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that prevent heat pipe dryout. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute machine readable instructions to: determine if a temperature of a heat pipe of an electronic device is below a first threshold temperature; cause a program to switch from a first operating mode to a second operating mode when the temperature is below the first threshold temperature, the second operating mode to use more processor circuitry bandwidth than the first operating mode; determine at least one of (1) an occurrence of an increase in a power level of the electronic device or (2) the temperature of the heat pipe satisfies a second threshold temperature; and cause the program to switch from the second operating mode to the first operating mode based on at least one of (1) the occurrence of the increase in the power level or (2) the temperature of the heat pipe satisfying the second threshold temperature.

Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed for accessories for electronic devices and removable fan cartridges for electronic devices. An example electronic device accessory includes a backplate panel removably couplable to a first chassis of a first electronic device to replace a portion of a first cover of the first chassis and removably couplable to a second chassis of a second electronic device to replace a portion of a second cover of the second chassis. The example electronic device accessory also includes a mating device to releasably couple the backplate panel to the first chassis and independently releasably couple the backplate panel to the second chassis and a fan coupled to the backplate panel. The fan is to increase a Z height of the first electronic device when the backplate panel is coupled to the first electronic device and increase a Z height of the second electronic device when the backplate panel is coupled to the second electronic device.

An illuminated display screen bezel may provide improved user illumination when using a portable electronic device. The illuminated display screen bezel may include a series of LEDs built into the bezel, may include a light guide plate, or may include an extended display area at least partially covered by a controllable opaque layer. These lighting mechanisms may be dynamically controlled and adjusted with one or more smart control algorithms to suit different users. The improved image quality may be used to provide improved performance of image processing features, such as improving the ability of a videoconferencing program to create a virtual background or improving the ability of an AI system to perform image analysis. These lighting configurations may also be used for providing notification lights, automatic dimming based on detected ambient light, program-enhancing RGB lighting effects, mood lighting, and other lighting effects.

Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, methods are disclosed to reshape fan noise of a fan of an electronic device. An example system includes a microphone to detect a first acoustic signal including fan noise. The example system also includes a processor to: identify a tone in the first acoustic signal; and determine a gain to add to the first acoustic signal to mask the tone. In addition, the example system includes a sound transducer to present a second acoustic signal including the gain.

An electronic computing device with a self-shielding antenna. An electronic computing device may include a frame, an antenna, and an antenna shielding. The frame includes a top cover and a bottom cover. Electronic components are included in a space formed between the top cover and the bottom cover. The antenna is for wireless transmission and reception and included in the frame near an edge of the frame. The antenna shielding is disposed around the antenna for providing electro-magnetic shielding from radio frequency (RE) noises generated from the electronic components included in the frame. The antenna shielding may be a metal wall disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover around the antenna. The frame may be a metallic frame and may include a cut-out in the top cover and the bottom cover above and below the antenna, and a non-metallic cover may be provided in the cut-out.

Cameras are located within the display area of a display. In-display cameras allow for thinner display bezels. In-display cameras allow for the creation of ultra-high resolution images. The ability to capture an object from multiple perspectives allows for holographic image recording and playback. Multiple views of an image can be captured with varying depths of focus, allowing an image's depth of field to be adjusted during post processing. In-display cameras can also be used for user authentication, touch detection and three-dimensional gesture recognition. Thermal sensors located within the display area allow for control of the display temperature, improved control over system performance, and compensation for micro-LED degradation that can occur due to aging or increased temperature. Microlens assemblies located above pixels can adjust the viewing cone angle of the display or a portion of the display and microassemblies located under individual pixels or pixel arrays can adjust a viewing angle.
