Abstract: An electronic device is provided that includes a PCB and a cooling system adapted to pull heat away from a first side of the PCB and dissipate the heat through a back surface of the electronic device. The cooling system includes a heat pipe that wraps around PCB. The cooling system further includes an active heat transfer device positioned adjacent to a second portion of the heat pipe, the active heat transfer device being adapted to absorb heat through a first surface and release the heat through a second surface of the active heat transfer device. The cooling system further includes a first passive heat transfer element that forms the back surface of the electronic device and that conducts the heat received from the active heat transfer device out of the electronic device.

Abstract: A method for producing an indicator light assembly may include selecting a laser power amount based on the thickness of a plastic housing, and drilling multiple conically shaped cutouts in the plastic housing, each creating a respective inner hole with a first diameter and a respective outer hole with a second diameter, the first diameter being larger than the second diameter. The method may include mounting a light source within the plastic housing, positioning the light source near the first holes on the interior side of the plastic housing such that when the light source is enabled, a portion of the emitted light passes through each cutout and is emitted through the second holes on the exterior side of the plastic housing. The second diameter may be small enough that the second holes are not visible to the human eye when the light source is disabled.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for transitioning a magnetic keyboard between retracted and extended states using a retractable keyboard hinge structure. An information handling system may include a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion rotatably coupled by the retractable keyboard hinge structure. The first housing portion may include a magnetic keyboard, and a sliding plate including a plurality of magnets that may be disposed underneath the magnetic keyboard. The retractable keyboard hinge structure may include a first hinge and a first cam. The first hinge and the first cam, when the first housing portion is rotated in relation to the second housing portion, may cause the sliding plate to move in a first linear direction. In response to the sliding plate moving, the plurality of magnets may cause the magnetic keyboard to move in a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction.
