Particular embodiments described herein provide for a tablet computer that can be configured to include a display, an antenna, a plurality of capacitance-based proximity sensors, and a configuration engine. The configuration engine uses the capacitance-based proximity sensors to determine a configuration of the tablet computer when the tablet computer is attached to an accessory. The capacitance-based proximity sensors can be specific absorption rate (SAR) proximity sensors used to determine when to reduce radiation from one or more antenna when the tablet computer is not coupled to the accessory and to determine a configuration of the tablet computer when the tablet computer is coupled to an accessory.

Tablet and tablet cover with configuration detection

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device having at least two displays, the electronic device including a first housing, where the first housing includes a primary display having a first display configuration, a second housing, where the second housing includes a secondary display having a second display configuration, a camera to monitor at least one of a head position of a user and eyes of the user, at least one secondary sensor to collect user related data, user tracking logic to determine an intent of the user based on the head position of the user, the eyes of the user, and/or the user related data from the at least one secondary sensor, and display adjustment logic to change the first display configuration and/or the second display configuration when the intent of the user changes.

Dynamically reconfiguring a display in a multi-display device

An example apparatus comprises a first member with a first surface, where the first member is movable relative to a second member with a second surface. The first member comprises a first magnet configured to produce a first magnetic field. The second member comprises a sensor operatively connected to a processor and a second magnet adjacent to the sensor. In a first position, the first magnet and the second magnet are engaged to magnetically hold the first member to the second member such that at least a portion of the first surface of the first member opposes at least a portion of the second surface of the second member. In the first position, the sensor is to detect the first magnetic field produced by the first magnet and is to send a signal to the processor in response to detecting the first magnetic field produced by the first magnet.

Locking and position status detection scheme for an electronic device

Techniques and mechanisms for determining a delivery of power by a programmable power supply. In an embodiment, controller circuitry of a platform receives an indication that a load of the platform is to transition to a particular operational mode. Based on a power requirement of the operational mode, the controller circuitry identifies a mode of voltage regulation which is to be provided with converter circuitry of the platform. The controller circuitry signals that a programmable power supply, which is coupled to the platform, is to output a supply voltage at a level which is based on an amount of power loss associated with the mode of voltage regulation. In another embodiment, the controller circuitry identifies the mode of voltage regulation based on an amount of charge which is currently stored by a battery of the platform.

Device, method and system for programming a power supply to facilitate dynamic performance tuning

Described are mechanisms and methods to facilitate power saving in Type-C connectors. Some embodiments may comprise an interface to a Configuration Channel (CC) signal path and to a ground signal path of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C connector port, a first circuitry, and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to place toggled values on the CC signal path. The second circuitry may be operable to couple the ground signal path to a detection signal path. The placement of the toggled values on the CC signal path is enabled when the detection signal path carries a first value that corresponds with the USB Type-C connector port being connected to a USB Type-C device, and may be disabled when the detection signal path carries a second value that corresponds with the USB Type-C connector port not being connected to a USB Type-C device.

Power saving for type-C connectors

A processor includes a transmitter to transmit, to a receiver, a differential pair of signals including a positive signal transmitted across a positive conductor and a negative signal transmitted across a negative conductor. A first programmable analog delay circuit is coupled to the positive conductor to provide a first delay to the positive signal and a second programmable analog delay circuit is coupled to the negative conductor to provide a second delay to the negative signal. A controller receives data based on a bit error rate (BER) of the differential pair of signals as measured by a bit error checker of the receiver. In response to determining the BER is less than a threshold BER, the controller stores a first delay value to program the first delay and store a second delay value to program the second delay.

Reduction of skew between positive and negative conductors carrying a differential pair of signals

A first apparatus is disclosed, including: a detection circuitry to detect a first voltage level of reference current received from a second apparatus, where the second apparatus is to provide the reference current at a second voltage level; and a controller to negotiate a power transmission agreement with the second apparatus for transmission of power from the second apparatus to the first apparatus, based at least in part on a difference between the first voltage level and the second voltage level.

Detection of transmission medium state for power delivery

An apparatus is provided which includes: an input/output (I/O) port to be coupled to a device external to the apparatus; a battery having an output node; a voltage regulator to selectively supply power from the I/O port to the battery, to charge the battery; and a switch coupled between the I/O port and the output node, wherein the switch is to selectively allow flow of current from the device to the output node by bypassing the voltage regulator.

Supplemental power reception by bypassing voltage regulator

The present disclosure describes a number of embodiments related to devices, systems, and methods related to a plurality of displays coupled to one or more processors to display images, and a device display manager to identify a gesture made on a first display of the plurality of displays, and to cause a second display to sleep or to wake based upon the identified gesture and a current state of the second display, where the first and second displays are different displays.
