  • Patent number: 9635782
    Abstract: Thermally actuated vents for electronic devices. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a vent having a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is an open position and the second position is a closed position; a muscle wire, a first end of the muscle wire being coupled with a connection to the vent and a second end of the muscle wire being coupled with an anchor point; and a tension element, a first end of the tension element being coupled with the vent at a connection point. The muscle wire is to apply a force to the vent to move the vent to the open position upon the muscle wire entering a contracted state, and the tension element pulling the vent to the closed position upon the muscle wire entering a relaxed state.

  • Publication number: 20160378137
    Abstract: In one example an electronic device comprises a first section comprising a first image input device to generate a first image output, a second section comprising a second image input device to generate a second image output, a hinge assembly to couple the first section and the second section such that the second section is rotatable about the first section and a controller comprising logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to determine when the hinge assembly is in a position in which the first section and the second section are substantially coplanar and in response to a determination that the hinge assembly is in a position in which the first section and the second section are substantially coplanar, route the first image output and the second image output to a depth sensor module. Other examples may be described.

  • Publication number: 20160279862
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to provision and/or utilization of a hidden feature for accessing and/or repairing mobile devices are described. An embodiment includes a wire physically adjacent to an adhesive. The adhesive bonds a first portion of a computing device and a second portion of the computing device. The wire is capable of being heated in response to application of electrical voltage or current. In turn, the heated wire causes cutting of the adhesive to allow for physical separation of the first portion of the computing device and the second portion of the computing device. Another embodiment utilizes a hidden end of an opening in a computing device to hide a fastener. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
