Abstract: Described herein are technologies pertaining to presenting a map to a user that comprises graphical icons that are representative of retail stores. The user has provided a shopping list, wherein the shopping list includes a plurality of products that are desirably purchased by the user. Inventories of retail stores in a geographic region of interest to the user are searched, and a map is generated that includes graphical icons representative of the retail stores, data that indicates that product(s) in the shopping list are available at the retail stores, and price data that indicates prices of product(s) in the shopping list at the respective retail stores.

Abstract: A solid state drive (SSD) storage bay includes storage trays and connector cards. A storage tray has a an interposer and an SSD module. A connector of the interposer is connected to a connector of the SSD module, and another connector of the interposer is connected to a connector of a connector card. The connector card includes terminals that connect to a bus of a computer system. The interposer includes wirings that allow electrical signals to propagate between the two connectors of the interposer. The interposer includes circuitry that allow for voltage regulation of supply voltage, level shifting, and hot-swapping.

Abstract: A computing device includes memory configured for storing executable instructions, a processor configured for executing the instructions, a foldable display layer configured for displaying information in response to the execution of the instructions, and a bend limit layer coupled to the foldable display layer and arranged substantially parallel to a display surface of the foldable display layer. The bend limit layer is configured to increase its stiffness non-linearly when a radius of a bend of the bend limit layer is less than a threshold radius of curvature of the foldable display layer, the threshold radius of curvature being greater than 1 mm and less than 20 mm.

Abstract: A system for throttling includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a read task. The processor is configured to determine a read engine of a set of read engines for the read task, submit the read task to the read engine for execution, determine whether the read task execution time exceeds a resubmit threshold time, and in the event that the read task execution time exceeds the resubmit threshold time, resubmit the read task, wherein resubmitting the read task includes determining a new read engine for the read task.

Abstract: A computing device may include an audio output device installed in a base housing. A front volume of the audio output device may be defined in part by an inner facing surface of a housing of the computing device, with an audio output port defined by an opening in the housing. In some computing devices, the opening defining the audio output port may also accommodate a hinge assembly rotatably coupling the housing to a display. A path from the audio output device to the audio output port may be defined in part by a support pad that guides sound out through the audio output port toward the user, and may also function as a support pad supporting the computing device on a work surface when operating in a tablet mode.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a computing device includes a lid, and a base coupled to the lid by a hinge, the hinge including a bi-stable hinge part including a toggle pivot and a toggle link bar, and a barrel hinge part including a hollow shaft, at least one friction element surrounding a first portion of the hollow shaft, and a casing surrounding a second portion of the hollow shaft, the casing being connected to the toggle link bar. The computing device includes a first mounting tab connected to the toggle link bar and connected to the base, and a second mounting tab connected to the at least one friction element and connected to the lid. The barrel hinge part enables the at least one friction element to rotate about the hollow shaft causing the lid to rotate relative to the base.
