Abstract: A device heater module can be installed within a device such as a server, and can prevent the device from powering on while the temperature of the device is being restored to an operating temperature. The device heater module can prevent the device from powering on by operating a switch to disconnect the device from an external power supply. The device heater module can thereafter actively or passively modify the temperature of the device. After the temperature of the device is restored to within the operating temperature, the device heater module can operate the switch to reconnect the device to the external power supply, thereby allowing the device to initiate a boot process.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, hardware resources available to data processing systems may be customized. The hardware resources may be customized through addition or replacement of interchangeable hardware components. The interchangeable hardware components may include features that may improve the likelihood of successfully adding or replacing the interchangeable hardware components.

Abstract: A method for providing thermal control of an information handling system may include in response to a request to power on the information handling system, in order to pre-condition a temperature associated with the information handling system to within a desired temperature range, receiving an indication of a temperature associated with the information handling system and based on the indication of the temperature associated with the information handling system, control the one or more temperature control elements for regulating a liquid of a liquid thermal control system to cause the temperature associated with the information handling system to fall within the desired temperature range prior to full powering on of the information handling system.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a device that can include at least one heat source and a vapor chamber, where the vapor chamber is bigger than the at least one heat source and a portion of the vapor chamber is in direct contact with the at least one heat source, where the portion of the vapor chamber in direct contact with the at least one heat source does not include a stiffener. In an example, the device can include a first air mover on a first side of the at least one heat source and a second air mover on an opposite side of the at least one heat source. Exhaust from the first air mover can pass through a vented foot and exhaust from the second air mover can pass through a second vented foot.

Abstract: A cable retention system for a power distribution unit includes a tether and a tether mount. The tether has an elongate portion and an attachment portion, and the attachment portion includes a channel therein. The tether mount has a base at a proximal end and a head at a distal end. The base is adapted to attach the proximal end of the tether mount to the power distribution unit. The tether is adapted to be secured to the tether mount by snap-fitting the head of the tether mount into the channel of the attachment portion.

Abstract: Illustrative examples include a docking system for a foldable electronic device such as a 2-in-1 convertible computer. The docking system may include a housing having an engagement surface to interface with a portion of the foldable electronic device when the foldable electronic device is operably engaged with the docking system. The engagement surface may include a vent opening arranged to direct airflow in between a first portion and a second portion of the plurality of portions, and a separator to maintain separation between the first portion and the second portion when the foldable electronic device is operably engaged with the engagement surface. A blower coupled to the housing may supply airflow through the vent opening.

Abstract: Technologies for hinges on mobile compute devices with dual screens are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, the mobile compute device with two housings each having a display are connected to each other by a hinge with elliptical spur gears that allow for one housing with a display to be rotated 360 degrees relative to the other housing. The elliptical shape of the spur gears allows the separation between the gears to change as one housing is rotated and, in particular, allows a smaller separation between the gears in certain configurations of the mobile compute device. The illustrative hinge includes a mechanical linkage system that allows the hinge to expand and contract as one housing is rotated.
