Patent number: 11755081Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented to provide supplemental cooling air for a portable information handling system from one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned at multiple different locations relative to a portable information handling system, such as notebook computer or laptop computer. In one example, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to have one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned to align with differing geometries of cooling air inlet opening locations that correspond to different portable information handling system sizes and/or designs.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Mark A. Casparian, Philip J. Grossmann, Joe A. Olmsted, Francisco Santana, Charles Cameron Duncan, Frank C. Azor

Patent number: 10574233Abstract: Key assemblies are disclosed herein that are retractable and/or that present a variable key assembly depression force to a user. In one example, one or more key assemblies may be provided that each employ one or more electro-permanent magnets (EPMs) together with permanent magnet and/or magnetically permeable (e.g., ferromagnetic) key assembly components to control key retraction and extension, and/or to control peak depression force (e.g., typing force) required to depress and displace a key assembly from an extended position to a lower position that causes the key assembly to produce a digital or analog output signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Mark A. Casparian, Joe A. Olmsted, Philip J. Grossmann, Jason Morrison, Frank C. Azor

Patent number: 10481656Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented using an external cooling dock that is configured to provide supplemental cooling to a portable information handling system by blowing sub-ambient temperature air into one or more existing external air intake-vents of the chassis of the portable information handling system. The external cooling dock may be further configured to electronically dock or otherwise mate in bidirectional signal communication with the portable information handing system to allow the cooling dock processing device to operate cooperatively in a closed loop with the internal processing device/s of the portable information handling system so as to control operation of the cooling dock components and/or the operation of the processing devices within the portable information handling system.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Mark A.

Patent number: 9746898Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented to decrease power consumption levels of a first processing device (e.g., such as a CPU) based on monitored operating temperature of a second and different processing device (e.g., such as a discrete GPU) in a shared multiple-processor cooling resource environment of an information handling system architecture. The first processing device power consumption levels may be so controlled such that the operating temperature of the second processing device does not reach a temperature at which the second processing device is throttled.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Dell Products LPInventors: Philip J.
