Abstract: Systems and methods may receive data from a data interface of a base platform, convert the data into an analog signal and modulate the analog signal onto a direct current (DC) power line coupled to a connector of the base platform. Additionally, the modulated analog signal may be received from a DC power line coupled to a connector of a tablet platform, wherein the modulated analog signal is converted to a digital signal and demodulated to recover the data. In one example, the data includes user input data associated with an input device including one or more of a mouse, a keyboard, a keypad or a touchpad.

Abstract: In one example a electronic device comprises a housing, at least one heat generating component disposed within the housing, at least one internal heat dissipation device positioned proximate the at least one heat generating component, and a thermal interface defined in at least a portion of the housing to allow direct thermal contact between the heat dissipation device and an external heat dissipation device. Other examples may be described.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for processing a video stream to reduce platform power by employing a stepped and distributed pipeline process, wherein CPU-intensive processing is selectively performed. The techniques are particularly well-suited for hand-based navigational gesture processing. In one example case, for instance, the techniques are implemented in a computer system wherein initial threshold detection (image disturbance) and optionally user presence (hand image) processing components are proximate to or within the system's camera, and the camera is located in or proximate to the system's primary display. In some cases, image processing and communication of pixel information between various processing stages which lies outside a markered region is suppressed. In some embodiments, the markered region is aligned with, a mouse pad or designated desk area or a user input device such as a keyboard. Pixels evaluated by the system can be limited to a subset of the markered region.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of the electronic device may include a main housing, a flexible display, and a touchscreen, wherein regions of the touchscreen can be reconfigured based on an orientation of the flexible display.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a peripheral controller to interface with a touch controller and to communicate mapping information to identify primary and secondary regions of a display. The touch controller includes logic to filter touch data when it is for a touch within the secondary region and to communicate the touch data to the peripheral controller when it is for the user touch within the primary region. In an embodiment, display logic may determine when and how to use a display bezel area for displaying content, via a combination of criteria. Decision vectors (such as sensors, device configuration, content type, primary display activity) may enable/disable display areas for rendering, with independent control of each side of the bezel. Content can be rendered based on primary display content, environment, other devices and user preferences. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
