Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may provide computer implemented services. To provide the computer implemented services, hardware components of the data processing system may need to operate in predetermined manners. To manage the operation of the hardware components, the data processing system may heat them when their temperatures fall outside of thermal operating ranges. To mitigate some risk associated with heating, the data processing system may proactively calibrate temperature sensors used to guide the heating process.

Abstract: A device includes a display and a housing. The housing surrounds the display and has four corners defining portions of an exterior surface of the device. The housing includes a first housing segment defining at least part of a first corner of the four corners and configured to operate as an antenna; a second housing segment defining at least part of a second corner of the four corners; and a third housing segment defining at least part of a third corner of the four corners. The third corner forms part of the housing diagonally opposite the second corner. The housing further includes a non-conductive housing component that structurally couples the first housing segment to another portion of the housing.

Abstract: In a method of pre-processing for dynamic removal of a graphics display device from a computing apparatus, upon receipt of a command to remove the graphics display device, an address of the graphics display device to be removed is obtained based on the command. A driver module of the graphics display device to be removed is then notified to release system resources of the computing apparatus allocated to the graphics display device to be removed. Thereafter, an operating system of the computing apparatus is notified to inquire the driver module of a current state of the graphics display device to be removed so as to acquire a response from the driver module indicating that the graphics display device is in an unused state, thereby terminating use of the graphics display device to be removed.
