Abstract: A portable information handling system (IHS), including a housing having a main housing portion, a lid housing portion, and a hinge assembly rotatably coupling the main housing portion and the lid housing portion to rotate the lid housing portion through a plurality of angular positions relative to the main housing portion is disclosed. The plurality of positions include a closed position and a tablet position. The portable IHS further includes a lid magnet assembly in the lid housing portion including a point on the lid magnet assembly closest to the hinge assembly in the tablet position at a first position on a y-axis; and a main magnet assembly in the main housing portion including a point on the main magnet assembly closest to the hinge assembly in the tablet position at a second position on a y-axis, wherein the second position is approximately the same as the first position.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and an apparatus for treating a surface for the removal of a surface portion thereof, comprising the steps of producing a beam of laser light and obscuring a low power density part of the laser beam before irradiating a surface location with the laser light so as to remove the surface portion. The apparatus for treating a surface for the removal of a surface portion thereof, comprises a laser source for producing a laser beam for irradiating a surface location with laser light so as to remove the surface portion wherein a low power density part of the laser beam is obscured and does not impinge upon the surface. The obscuration may be effected by a shadow mask and/or a reflective mask.

Abstract: A method of treating a surface for the removal of a surface portion comprising irradiating the surface with laser light, wherein the irradiation is effected by covering said surface in a sequential manner with a plurality of discrete spots of laser light. The spots of laser light overlap and may be arranged in a geometric arrangement defined by the locations of the centers of the spots of laser light. The spots of laser light may be applied sequentially.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cutting thick sections of cement-based materials, the method comprising mutually traversing a surface to be cut with a laser beam at a power density sufficient to produce a depth of molten material having a maximum depth of 10 mm at each traverse; allowing the molten material to solidify; breaking the solidified material into particles; and removing the particles by suction means.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for activating an object for highlighting during a presentation includes recognizing a spoken activation word. An activation link is invoked when the activation word is recognized, and includes an activation action taken. The presentation is prepared by designating a portion for highlighting by association with the activation link, and the activation word. The activation action includes substitution of the designated portion with another object, activating a multimedia object, changing a background color, applying a graphic effect, or the like to the designated portion.
