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: A method and system are described herein for detecting a capacity for a power adapter. An example of a method includes detecting an increase in power consumption by a computing device attached to the power adapter. The method can also include detecting a droop in voltage received from the power adapter. Additionally, the method can include storing the current that corresponds with the droop.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with establishing a persistent connection between local and remote interaction devices are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include operating the local interaction device in a first power state when a motion of a local user within an area proximate to the local device is not detected, and operating the local interaction device in a second power state when a motion of the local user within the area is detected. The method may further include providing a selected view of a plurality of views of the local area responsive to a gaze direction of the remote user, and providing audio communication from the local interaction device to the remote interaction device with a spatial characteristic that approximates co-location of the local and remote users. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A system and method for adaptive delivery of media to one or more users in an environment based on contextual characteristics of the environment and the one or more users within. The system includes a media delivery system configured to receive and process data captured by one or more sensors positioned within the environment and determine contextual characteristics of the environment based on the captured data. The contextual characteristics may include, but are not limited to, identities of one or more users, subject matter of communication between the users, physical motion, including gestures, of one or more users and objects within the environment.
