  • Publication number: 20170263179
    Abstract: A portable information handling system display integrates a MIMO antenna configuration that cooperates with a radio to adapt display operations for supporting wireless communication. For example, plural antenna nanowires integrated with display pixel control wires selectively interface with a MIMO radio with the antenna wires selected based upon display operational characteristics, such as the presentation of visual information at the display and the enablement or disablement of touch detection circuits.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20170222366
    Abstract: An integrated data and security cable couples to a portable information handling system with pins engaged at pin guides formed in the system housing on opposing sides of a data port. At least one pin selectively locks and unlocks in the pin guide to secure the system to a fixture, such as a desktop. The locking pin releases from the cable side with a key or combination or, alternatively, releases from the information handling system, such as under control of an embedded controller or other security system.

  • Publication number: 20170222457
    Abstract: An information handling system receives power from a reversible power cable by selectively configuring outer pins to provide power or communication with a middle pin providing ground. A power manager of an information handling system embedded controller uses a low level of power input to determine which outer pin provides power and which provides communication, and then configures the connector to route power at a high level to the system charger for powering the information handling system.

  • Publication number: 20170104979
    Abstract: A system for determining a loss of calibration in a multi-view stereo imaging system including executing instructions, via a processor, for a multi-view stereo imaging system to process a plural image frame recorded from a plurality of digital cameras of an information handling system and based on plural image calibration parameters and detecting a physical impact event, via a physical sensor, to an information handling system. The system and method execute instructions for a physical impact event detection system to determine, based on physical sensor feedback data, whether a threshold level of a physical impact event has been reached so as to affect calibration of the multi-view stereo imaging system. The detected physical impact event may be a mechanical impact event, a thermal impact event, a vibration mechanical impact event, or another physical impact event.

  • Publication number: 20170026585
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a multi-camera mounting apparatus. The multi-camera mounting apparatus accommodates a plurality of camera modules in order to capture a three dimensional image. The multi-camera mounting apparatus is comprised of a uni-body bracket made of a combination of materials that have a near net-zero thermal expansion in order to maintain the cameras' locations relative to each other. Additionally, the camera modules may be affixed to the multi-camera mounting apparatus using UV-activated adhesive.

  • Patent number: 8079852
    Abstract: A power adapter includes an adapter base defining a plug member channel immediately adjacent a first channel wall and a second channel wall that is oriented substantially perpendicular to the first channel wall. A power member connector extends into the first channel wall such that no part of the power member connector protrudes into the defined plug member channel. A ground member connector is located on the second channel wall and spaced apart from the power member channel. A plug member includes a plug base having a first plug wall and a second plug wall that is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the first plug wall. A power member is located on the first plug wall and a ground member is located on the second plug wall. The plug member is operable to be inserted into the plug member channel such that the power member enters the power member channel and electrically couples to the power member connector and the ground member engages the ground member connector.
