Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for detecting an identifier communication from a writing implement and transitioning a previously modified interior page of an electronic notepad from a locked state to an unlocked state if the identifier communication corresponds to one or more stored identifiers. Moreover, a plurality of additional interior pages of the electronic notepad may be maintained in the locked state while the previously modified interior page is in the unlocked state.

Abstract: Techniques are described for notebook hinge sensors. For example, a computing device may comprise a housing having a processor circuit and an input device, the input device arranged on a side of the housing, a lid having a digital display arranged on a side of the lid, a hinge arranged to couple the housing and the lid, and a sensor module coupled to the processor circuit, the sensor module arranged inside the hinge and operative to capture motion input outside of the computing device.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer or laptop, that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). The electronic device may also include a base portion and a lid portion coupled to the base portion at a hinge configured such that the base portion and the lid portion can rotate between an open configuration of the electronic device and a closed configuration of the electronic device. The lid portion can include at least one segment that is to raise at least a portion of the base portion in response to a rotation toward the open configuration (e.g., opening the lid portion to access a touchpad or a keyboard of the electronic device, or to see a display of the electronic device).

Abstract: Technologies for automated optimal projector placement include a computing device having a depth camera and a projector. The computing device scans an environment of a user of the computing device with the depth camera to generate an environment map and determines a projection surface for a projected computing interaction based on the environment map and a usability factor. The usability factor may include application requirements, ergonomic factors such as viewing angle or reach distance, surface visibility features, or other factors. The computing device determines a target location for the projector based on the projection surface and presents the target location to the user. The target location may be determined to avoid obstructions or based on a projected image feature size or quality of the projected computing interaction. The computing device may project an indication of the target location at the target location. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
