  • Publication number: 20170262019
    Abstract: A portable information handling system display integrates a cooling device that provides cooling airflow around the periphery of the display. For example, a piezoelectric device generates a cooling airflow directed through air channels formed in a substrate and bezel that couples an OLED display to the front and rear faces of a portable information handling system housing.

  • Patent number: 9720451
    Abstract: An information handling system opening, such as at a cable port, selectively closes and opens through inflation and deflation of a seal, such as an expanding balloon structure interfaced with a microfluidic reservoir. The seal fills the opening to block contaminants from entering the information handling system and deflates to provide room for cables to pass when desired. Automated sealing of a port is provided in response to detection of contaminants, such as liquids or dust.

  • Publication number: 20170147839
    Abstract: An information handling system processing component is selectively disabled by inflation of a bladder with a microfluidic reservoir in response to a predetermined condition, such as detection of malicious code or unauthorized access to information stored on the information handling system.

  • Publication number: 20170102746
    Abstract: A portable information handling system having a cooling airflow vent located in its bottom surface extends and retracts feet at the bottom surface to aid airflow when the portable information handling system is rested on support surface to impede airflow through the vent. In one embodiment, a microfluidic reservoir communicates pressurized fluid to the plural feet to extend the plural feet if a predetermined thermal condition is detected in the portable information handling system, such as a predetermined temperature, a cooling fan that initiates operation or an impedance to airflow through the vent.
