Abstract: A docking station according to embodiments provides power to an Information Handling System (IHS) coupled to the docking station. The docking station includes a first power circuit supporting a first power output according to a power delivery protocol limited to a first power level. The docking station also includes a second power circuit supporting a second power output for providing the input power of the docking station to the IHS. A controller of the docking station determines whether the IHS requires power using the power delivery protocol and selects the operation of the first or second power circuit. The docking station may support dual of such selectable power pathways using a docking cable joined from two individual cables, where each cable provides a separate power and/or data coupling. The docking station thus supports powering devices according to a power delivery protocol or using the input power to the docking station.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing contextual information to a user. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a user device, a query-independent request for contextual information relevant to an active resource displayed in an application environment on the user device, generating multiple queries from displayed content from the resource, determining a quality score for each of the multiple queries, selecting one or more of the multiple queries based on their respective quality scores, and providing, to the user device for each of the selected one or more queries, a respective user interface element for display with the active resource, wherein each user interface element includes contextual information regarding the respective query and includes the respective query.

Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) includes a source load switch connected to a power management circuit, and a port for connection of a device. The IHS detects attachment of the device to the port, and determines whether the device is a current sink. When the device is a current sink, the IHS sets the peak processor power level to a reduced level, determines detachment of the device, and in response to determining detachment of the device, restores a maximum peak processor power level. When the device is not a current sink, the HIS starts charging, sets a dynamic peak processor power level to an AC+DC setting, determines detachment of the device, and in response to determining detachment of the device, sets the peak processor power level to a DC-only setting.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving a first input associated with a bookmark and, in response to receiving the first input, obtaining context data for deriving annotations for the bookmark. An annotation engine of a system obtains multiple annotations that are derived using information included in the context data and a transcription of the first input associated with the bookmark The annotation engine generates an importance value for each annotation. The importance value characterizes a relationship between each annotation and at least one of: the information included in the context data; or the transcription of the first input. The annotation engine generates a set of annotations for retrieving the bookmark. Each annotation in the set of annotations is generated from the obtained multiple annotations and each annotation has an importance value that exceeds a threshold value.
