  • Patent number: 11995263
    Abstract: A touch screen may be formed from a display and perimeter touch electrodes. Touches detected at one or more of the perimeter touch electrodes can be imputed to touch on a region of the display of the touch screen adjacent to the perimeter touch electrodes. In some examples, the perimeter touch electrodes comprise segmented frit metal arranged around the perimeter of the display (e.g., frit metal used to encapsulate the display). In some examples, the perimeter touch electrodes can be coupled to one or more touch sensing circuits via switching circuitry. In some examples, the switching circuitry can be operated based on control signals shared with the display circuitry.

  • Patent number: 11983046
    Abstract: A portable information handling system pivots a hinge rotational axis as the hinge rotates housing portions between open and closed positions to manage a gap between the housing portions. For example, the hinge couples a base at a perimeter of one housing portion, the base having a many body that slides on sliding members of the base and that supports a bracket extending inward to couple to another housing portion. A bracket gear engages with a pinion gear included in the main body to translate bracket rotation through the pinion gear to a rack integrated in the base, thereby sliding the main body relative to the base as the housing portions rotate so that the distance between the housing portions adjusts with rotational orientation.
