Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automatic monitor position adjustment. An indication that an application is being launched is received. A preferred monitor position for the application is determined by referencing a data store mapping preferred monitor positions to respective metadata attributes, where the preferred monitor position for the application is determined based on the preferred monitor position being mapped to a first metadata attribute associated with the application within the data store. An actuator associated with the monitor is then instructed to adjust the position of the monitor to the preferred monitor position.

Monitor position adjustment based on application metadata

A power source apparatus and associated method for protecting an electrical device such as a mobile device from an electric shortage are disclosed. The power source apparatus can be provided within the electrical device to provide power to device components. The power source apparatus can include a power source such as a battery, one or more triggering components, and a disconnection component. The triggering component(s) can be connected to a moisture/fluid detection circuit of the electrical device. Upon receiving an input signal indicative of detected moisture/fluid within the electrical device, the triggering component(s) send a disconnection signal to the disconnection component which may be a solenoid. The disconnection component disconnects the power source from device circuitry of the electrical device. The power source apparatus can also include a reconnection component that can be manually actuated by a user or automatically actuated to reconnect the power source to the device circuitry.

Self-disconnecting power source apparatus

Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for sound identification. Aspects include receiving, by a processor in a wearable electronic device, an indication of an audio signal. The audio signal is analyzed to determine an audio source and based at least in part on the audio source, non-auditory feedback is provided to a user of the wearable electronic device.
