Publication number: 20210365079Abstract: Magnetic force adjustment mechanisms are described herein. An electronic device includes a base, a first magnet carried by the base, a lid and a second magnet carried by the lid. The first and second magnets secure the base and the lid together with a holding force. A hinge pivotally couples the lid and the base. A slider displaces at least one of the first or second magnets relative to the other of the first or second magnets to reduce the holding force.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: Kristin L. Weldon, Michael S. Brazel, Jered H. Wikander, Lily Kolle, Weibo Chen, Aleksander Magi, Konstantin I. Kouliachev, Ralph V. Miele, Richard P. Crawford

Patent number: 9495397Abstract: Computer-readable storage media, apparatus and method associated with storing a copy of local data in a historical data store, among other embodiments, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, one or more computer-readable storage media may contain instructions which when executed by a computing device may provide access of local data to one or more applications on the computing device for contemporaneous processing by the one or more applications. The local data may be associated, at least in part, with one or more sensors of the computing device. In some embodiments, a copy of the local data may be transmitted to a remote historical data store where it may be categorized and correlated with data from computing devices associated with one or more other users for further processing.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Glen J. Anderson, Richard P. Crawford, Audrey C. Younkin, Giuseppe Raffa

Publication number: 20160103487Abstract: Embodiments for providing brain computer interface (BCI) system based on gathered temporal and spatial patterns of biophysical signals are generally described herein. In some embodiments, stimuli are provided to a user. Temporal and spatial patterns of biophysical signals associated with brain activity of a user are gathered in response to providing the stimuli to the user. The gathered temporal and spatial patterns of biophysical signals associated with brain activity of the user are correlated to identify user brain signatures. A processor controlled function based on the user brain signatures identified through correlating of the gathered temporal and spatial patterns of biophysical signals associated with brain activity is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventors: Richard P. Crawford, Glen J. Anderson, David P. Kuhns, Peter Wyatt
