  • Patent number: 9690340
    Abstract: A system and method for adaptive thermal and performance management in electronic devices are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: providing a processor with a plurality of selectable performance levels and a sensor in an electronic device; receiving sensor information from the sensor, the sensor information including information for determining if the electronic device is positioned proximately to an active airflow; determining a device context from the sensor information; and dynamically modifying the performance level of the processor by implementing one of a plurality of selectable performance levels of the processor based on the device context.

  • Patent number: 7603498
    Abstract: A system and method for managing multiple information handling systems using embedded control logic are disclosed. An information handling system includes a first port for receiving first analog video signals and embedded control logic operably coupled to the first port. The embedded control logic selects either the first analog video signals received by the first port or second analog video signals generated by the information handling system. A second port operably coupled to the embedded control logic transmits at least one of the first and second analog video signals to a master controller operably coupled to the information handling system.

  • Patent number: 7103695
    Abstract: A system and method for scaling a bus based on a location of a device on the bus are disclosed. An information handling system includes a host bridge interfaced between a local bus and a peripheral bus operable to run at a plurality of bus speeds generated by the host bridge. A plurality of expansion slots are coupled to the peripheral bus and a bus switch is coupled to the peripheral bus between at least two of the expansion slots. Control logic is interfaced with the host bridge and the expansion slots. The control logic is operable to enable at least one of the expansion slots based on a signal received from each of the expansion slots by manipulating the bus switches.

  • Patent number: 6704825
    Abstract: A system to connect cards in a chassis is provided. The system includes a chassis frame having a slot to receive a card. A rocker is coupled to the chassis frame and positioned in a closed state when the card is in the slot. A magnetic element is positioned on the rocker and a sensor positioned to detect a magnetic field generated by the magnetic element. The sensor then determines whether the rocker is positioned an open state or said closed state.
