  • Publication number: 20230352941
    Abstract: A method and system for supplying power at a voltage selected from a plurality of voltages. Power is initially received at a first voltage. Embodiments communicate with an AC adapter to get device identification and see if the AC adapter supports other voltages. If so, embodiments communicate with the AC adapter to get more information about the adapter and identify what voltages the adapter is capable of providing. If one of the voltages would allow an information handling system to operate more efficiently, embodiments negotiate a power supply contract to operate at a second voltage. When the information handling system powers down, the system resets to operation at the initial voltage.

  • Patent number: 11797108
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a roller module. The roller module includes a base member, a scroll wheel, a magnetic conductor, a swingable arm, a driving motor and an actuating element. The scroll wheel is installed on the base member. The magnetic conductor is located beside the scroll wheel. When the scroll wheel is rotated, the magnetic conductor is correspondingly rotated. The swingable arm is installed on the base member. The swingable arm includes a magnetic element. The swingable arm is swingable relative to the magnetic conductor. When the swingable arm is swung to a first position, the magnetic element is aligned with the magnetic conductor. Consequently, a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic element and the magnetic conductor is generated. When the swingable arm is swung to a second position, the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic element and the magnetic conductor is eliminated.
