  • Patent number: 9401574
    Abstract: An information handling system power adapter removably couples with a multi-axis plug that rotates between storage, wall socket and power strip positions. The storage position rotates prongs that insert into a power socket so the prongs are retracted into the power adapter, rotates prongs to plug into a wall socket so that the power adapter aligns parallel to the wall having the wall socket, and rotates the prongs to plug into a power strip socket so that the power adapter aligns perpendicular to the power strip having the socket. The multi-axis plug inserts into a power cable receptacle of the power adapter so that an end user may selectively remove the multi-axis plug and insert a power cable that terminates at a plug to connect the power adapter with a power socket through the power cable.

  • Publication number: 20160070688
    Abstract: Annotation methods and systems for supporting the annotation of documents in the format of a rendering engine are provided. The annotation system allows for the adding of annotations to documents, the displaying of annotations over content of the documents, and the displaying of annotations in an annotation pane. To provide annotation support for a document, the annotation system augments the document with elements including an element with annotation engine code and elements to support the collecting and displaying of annotations. When the rendering engine renders the document, it executes the annotation engine code to effect the collecting and displaying of the annotations.
