  • Patent number: 10863135
    Abstract: An information handling system selectively extends a camera from a housing along an extension axis to collect light along a plane substantially perpendicular to the extension axis. A mirror structure coupled over a light sensor redirects light from along the plane towards the extension axis and into the light sensor. Distortions of the visual image captured by the light sensor are corrected at the information handling system, such as with a digital signal processor integrated with the light sensor. In one embodiment, the mirror structure moves to direct light from only a portion of the plane towards the light sensor.

  • Patent number: 9939861
    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.

  • Patent number: 9779449
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system related to veracity determination through comparison of a geospatial location data of a vehicle with a provided data are disclosed. In one aspect, the method of a veracity server associates a provided data of an individual with a vehicle using a processor, determines the geospatial location of a vehicle, correlates a relevance of the geospatial location of the vehicle with the provided data, and determines the veracity of the provided data based on the relevance of the geospatial location of the vehicle to the provided data. The method may also comprise the usage of a geospatial circuit in the vehicle in order to transmit geospatial coordinates as well as a plurality of relevant locational information of the vehicle to the veracity server in order to make a correct veracity determination of the provided data.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9535464
    Abstract: An information handling system housing is provided with a base portion, a head portion and a chin portion all coupled via a hinge such that the chin portion are separately articulable. By providing the hinge so that the chin portion can articulate separately from the rest of the head portion, the chin portion can articulate towards the rear of the system. This articulation reduces the table height of the hinge pivot point, and therefore reduces the slope of the base and keyboard assembly.

  • Patent number: 9201465
    Abstract: An information handling system converts from a closed position to a tablet position by rotating a lid with a display 360 degrees about a hinge having synchronized and continuous motion. The hinge has first and second axles held distal by a spacer. A synchronizer translates motion of each axle to the other to provide fluid movement of the lid relative to the housing. For instance, first and second cables translate rotational motion with the disposition of a discontinuous figure eight between the first and second axles.

  • Patent number: 9122455
    Abstract: An information handling system converts from a closed position to a tablet position by rotating a lid with a display 360 degrees about a hinge having motion translated between lid and housing portions through first and second engage gears of different diameters. The hinge has first and second axles held in a spaced and substantially parallel orientation by a support with first and second gears having a gear ratio of substantially 2.54 to 1. Overall system thickness is reduced by having a lid portion gear with a diameter of substantially the thickness of the lid portion and a housing portion gear with a diameter of substantially the thickness of the housing portion.

  • Publication number: 20150186991
    Abstract: A method, a device and a system of creditor alert when a vehicle enters an impound lot are disclosed. In one aspect, a vehicle includes a vehicle having a tracking device to determine a present geospatial location of the vehicle, a network, a tracking server to periodically receive the present geospatial location of the vehicle through the network, and an impound alerting server communicatively coupled with a tracking server to determine whether the vehicle is within a boundary of an impound lot, and to generate an alert to a creditor device when the vehicle is within the boundary of the impound lot beyond a threshold amount of time. A database may be communicatively coupled with the impound alerting server. The database may have stored within a set of records comprising address information of a number of impound lot boundaries and/or associated meta data.
