Abstract: An information handling system includes a tablet computer, which in turn includes a touch sensor, a sensor detector, and a processor. The sensor detector is configured to communicate with the touch sensor, and to detect a first fingerprint on the touch sensor. The processor is configured to communicate with the sensor detector, to determine that the first fingerprint is within a first zone of the touch sensor, to match the first fingerprint to a stored fingerprint for the first zone of the touch sensor, to determine a first input function associated with the first fingerprint based on the first fingerprint matching the stored fingerprint for the first zone, and to execute the first input function.

Abstract: An assembly for cooling a heat dissipating device reducing the thermal contact/interface resistance between a heatsink and a heat dissipating device includes: a heat dissipating device having a heat releasing surface; a heatsink having a heat absorbing surface; a gasket extending between the heat releasing surface and the heat absorbing surface to provide a sealed interstitial cavity; and a working fluid provided within the cavity. The working fluid has specific thermal properties that cause the fluid to (i) absorb latent heat and evaporate from a liquid to a vapor at the liquid surface in contact with the heat releasing surface during operation of the heat dissipating device and (ii) condense from the vapor back to the liquid when the vapor contacts the heat absorbing surface of the heatsink, thus releasing the latent heat from the vapor to the heatsink.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a triangular chassis, a plurality of graphics cards, and a plurality of air movers. An air stream of a first air mover may be axially aligned with the graphics cards and the first air mover may to direct the air stream into a first zone of the information handling systems including the graphics cards, the air stream being parallel to a longitudinal axis of the graphics cards. The first air mover may be a fan and the air flow may be laminar. A second zone of the information handling systems may include a CPU. The first zone may include a power supply unit. The air movers may be controlled independently, enabling independent control of a temperature in the first zone and a temperature in the second zone.

Abstract: A method and an information handling system for selecting or scaling system performance. The method of scaling performance of an information handling system includes a controller receiving component data that identifies a heat removal effectiveness of a cooling component, selecting a performance characteristics of the information handling system based on the received component data, and adjusting the operating parameters of the information system to achieve the selected performance characteristics and heat removal capability. The controller communicates with the cooling component through a serial signal bus. The cooling component includes a cooling device and storage.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a triangular chassis and a plurality of antennas that provide optimized coverage in all directions around the triangular chassis. An antenna may be operated from each vertex of the triangular shaped base chassis. Alternatively, an antenna may be operated from each of three main side surfaces of the triangular shaped base chassis. One or more of the antennas can be selected for communication based on the ability to communicate with external network components. Disclosed systems provide omnidirectional coverage around the triangular chassis while minimizing the effects of shadowing caused by abase chassis.

Abstract: An apparatus provides conductive cooling of an information handling system. The apparatus includes a panel having a vent area formed in the panel. The vent area includes a perimeter, an interior section and a plurality of ribs that extend across the interior section. The vent area further includes several openings defined by lateral spacing between the ribs. The openings extend through the panel and are configured to receive cooling airflow into the openings and to discharge cooling air flow from the openings. A conductive heat sink layer is attached to the panel. The conductive heat sink layer covers a perimeter area surrounding the vent area, with strips of the conductive heat sink layer also covering the ribs, while leaving the openings between the ribs uncovered such that the strips of the conductive heat sink layer function to conduct additional heat away from the vent area along the ribs.
