Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for accessing modes of operation and techniques for providing an alarm interface for electronic devices. In some embodiments, a device detects that a battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in a predefined orientation. In accordance with the detection that the battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in the predefined orientation, the device activates a predefined mode of operation. In some embodiments, a device displays a first user interface object in a first color, and, at a predetermined time, the device displays the first user interface object in a second color and displays an option for dismissing an alarm, wherein the option for dismissing is displayed as a second user interface object located at a portion of a display of the device proximate to a hardware button of the device.

Abstract: A method of implementing a power-based current limiting circuit in an information handling system includes providing a power supply having an output voltage operating range that can vary between a first voltage output level and a second voltage output level. The power supply output voltage is coupled to a load module via a switch. A power output of the power supply supplied to the load module is detected as a function of the load module current and the output voltage. Lastly, the switch is controlled between a first state and a second state in response to the detected power output.

Abstract: An information handling system including a dynamic circuit interface is disclosed. The information handling system may include a processor mounted on a circuit board and a connector provided on the circuit board and electrically coupled to the processor. The connector is configured to receive a first circuit card or a second circuit card. A first circuit is provided on the circuit board and is electrically coupled to the connector, and a second circuit is provided on the circuit board and is also electrically coupled to the connector. If the first circuit card is received by the connector, a first signal path is provided from the first circuit to the second circuit via the first circuit card. If the second circuit card is received by the connector, a second signal path is provided from the second circuit card to the second circuit.
