Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for entitling the implementation of a feature associated with a device after it is manufactured. A feature entitlement management system receives a device's unique identifier, which is then processed to determine which features associated with the device are available for implementation. Once determined, the available features are provided to the user of the device, who in turn selects a feature for implementation. A feature entitlement is then generated by performing late binding entitlement operations to associate the selected feature's corresponding entitlement data with the device's unique identifier. The resulting feature entitlement is then is processed to implement the selected feature.

Abstract: An emergency service provider contact system includes a portable chassis. A processor is housed in the portable chassis. A storage, a communications module, at least one sensor, and a display are coupled to the processor and housed in the portable chassis. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium is housed in the portable chassis, coupled to the processor, and includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to monitor the at least one sensor and, in response to detecting an alert event through the at least one sensor, search the storage using the alert event to retrieve contact information for at least one emergency service provider that is associated with the alert event, and contact the emergency service provider through the communications module using the contact information.

Abstract: An information handling system having an antenna disposed at an outer housing surface provides wireless information signals received by the antenna to a receiver within the housing by capacitive coupling of the signals through the housing. A capacitive pattern portion connected to the antenna at the outer housing surface is disposed opposite a capacitive coupler at the inner surface so that electromagnetic energy of wireless signals inductively couples between the conductive material of the capacitive pattern portion and the capacitive coupler through non-conductive material of the housing without physical contact between the capacitive pattern portion and the capacitive coupler.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for mobile television (TV) devices including collapsible antenna structures that are resistant to breaking. The antenna structure allows for a highly mobile antenna/receiver module that can be attached to a standard computer system through a standardized bus interface, such as a USB (universal serial bus) interface. The collapsible antenna is configured to retract into the body of the mobile TV device, as well as to telescope out and articulate (bend) in any direction. The antenna includes strain relief techniques to avoid breakage, for example, a flexible base telescoping segment. The mobile TV device can also include a printed circuit board including an RF (radio frequency) front-end with a tuner, a digital signal demodulator and decoder and a digital bus interface in a single, highly integrated device.
