Abstract: In some examples, a trap to electrocute a pest may include a logic board. The logic board may create an open circuit using two electrical contacts in touch with two conductive plates in a container located in the trap. A pest entering the container may touch the two conductive plates, causing the circuit to close. Based on determining that the circuit was closed, the logic board may determine that a pest entered the trap. The logic board may cause a shutter inside the trap to move from an approximately horizontal position to an approximately vertical position, thereby causing a portion of a door of the container to close by causing two latch strikes of the door to engage with the two jaws of the container. The circuit may send a wireless notification message, indicating that the pest was captured in the container, over a wireless network to a computing device.

A clutch of the clutch hinge couples to an axle with a compressive mechanism and a clamping mechanism that combine to apply a total torque that resists rotation of the first and second housing portions. The clamping mechanism couples to the axle from within a clutch housing and the compressive mechanism inserts over the axle to compress at opposing sides of the clutch housing.

Abstract: An information handling system and keyboard automatically coordinate wireless pairing when the keyboard couples to the information handling system to interface contacts exposed at the information handling system housing and the keyboard. The information handling system retrieves an identifier of the keyboard through a contact, determines if the keyboard is already paired, and if not initiates wireless pairing with a command through the contact. A pairing key is provided from the keyboard to the information handling system through the contact and applied by the information handling system to complete pairing. A confirm code is communicated through the contact to the keyboard for communication back to the information handling system by wireless signals. The contacts provide a charging path to charge the keyboard when coupled to the information handling system.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a display device, a user input device, and a processor. The processor communicates with the display device and with the user input device. The processor detects whether the user input device is in an idle state. In response to an initial detection of the user input device being in the idle state, the processor continually determines a power consumption of the display device. While the power consumption is continually determined, the processor determines whether a predetermined amount of energy has been consumed. In response to a predetermined amount of energy being consumed, the processor turns off the display device.
