Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to cool electronic devices. An example thermal solution to cool an electronic device Includes a first cooling plate at a first side of a printed circuit board and a second cooling plate at a second side of the printed circuit board, the second side opposite the first side. The second cooling plate is fluidically coupled with the first cooling plate.

Thermal solutions for cooling electronic devices

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.

Removable fan cartridges for electronic devices

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.

System and methods to reshape fan noise in electronic devices

Touch control surfaces for electronic user devices are disclosed herein. An example electronic device includes a microphone array and processor circuitry to detect a first acoustic event based on signals output by the microphone array, the first acoustic event indicative of a first touch on a surface of the device at a first time; detect a second acoustic event based on the signals, the second acoustic event indicative of a second touch on the surface at a second time; determine a first location of the first touch and a second location of the second touch; identify the first time and the second time as occurring within a threshold period of time; identify a gesture based on the first location, the second location, and the occurrence of the first touch and the second touch within the threshold; and cause an output at the device in response to the gesture.

Touch control surfaces for electronic user devices and related methods

Touch control surfaces for electronic user devices are disclosed herein. An example electronic device includes a microphone array, a touch event identifier to analyze signal data generated by microphones of the microphone array to detect a first touch on a surface of the electronic device, a gesture detector to correlate the first touch with a gesture, a user input mapper to map the gesture to a user input and a processor to cause the electronic device to respond to the user input.

Various systems and methods for managing an ambient user interface on a laptop are described herein. A laptop device includes an upper portion including a display device and a lower portion coupled to the upper portion with a hinge mechanism, the lower portion including a reflective surface. When the laptop device is closed and the upper portion abuts the lower portion, the display device is configured to display images that are reflected on the reflective surface.

Single display laptop design

Disclosed is a mobile device. The mobile device may be located proximate a mobile terminal and controlled by the mobile terminal. The mobile device may include a processor and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a mode of operation of the mobile device, determine a thermal profile for the mode of operation of the mobile device, and implement a power profile to achieve the thermal profile.
