  • Information handling system thermal control with adaptive non-rotational cooling devices
    Patent number: 9781861
    Abstract: A tablet information handling system manages thermal conditions with selective installation of either a wireless wide area network interface card or an air moving device in an internal communication link card slot, such as an M.2 card slot. If an air moving device is installed, then greater thermal demands may be managed at the tablet information handling system, such as greater CPU clock speeds for a given CPU, internal housing or skin temperature. For example, a piezoelectric bellows-based fan having substantially the same footprint as a WWAN NIC and powered from the communications slot interface aids distribution of thermal energy whether or not the tablet housing has air vents.

  • SAFETY CIRCUIT FOR INFRARED AND LASER IMAGING DEVICES
    Publication number: 20170019577
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing over exposure to light during an image scan are disclosed. The system includes a camera, a light source, and a controller communicatively coupled to the camera and configured to instruct the camera to perform an image scan, and to enable an illumination current for the light source during the image scan. The system also includes a proximity sensor configured to detect a distance between the light source and a subject of the image scan, and to provide a proximity override to disable the illumination current during the image scan in response to a determination that the subject is at an unsafe distance from the light source.
