Abstract: A method for operating a wireline communication device on a wireless communication network includes (a) receiving a downlink radio frequency (RF) electrical signal at a first connector, (b) converting the downlink RF electrical signal to a downlink access signal having a format that is compatible with the wireline communication device, and (c) providing the downlink access signal to a second connector for transporting to the wireline communication device. A method for extending a wireline communication network includes (a) receiving a downlink wireline signal at a node of the wireline communication network, (b) converting the downlink wireline signal to a downlink RF electrical signal, and (c) converting the downlink RF electrical signal to a downlink wireless signal, for transmission to one or more communication devices which are not physically connected to the wireline communication network.

Abstract: An example display device includes a panel and a controller to define a boundary between a first region of an input layer of the panel and a second region of the input layer of the panel. The example controller disables digital ink input for the first region when the first region is designated for video output and the controller enables digital ink input for the second region when the second region is designated for receiving digital ink input.

Abstract: A virtual reality headset including a display to display a virtual environment, an imaging device to capture images of a physical environment surrounding the headset, and a controller to detect patterns of wavelength emitting devices in the captured images and to compare detected patterns to a library of known patterns, each known pattern corresponding to a physical object. When a detected corresponds to a known pattern, the controller to determine a position of the detected pattern in the physical environment relative to the headset, and to display in the virtual environment a virtual representation of the physical object corresponding to the known pattern at a position corresponding to the determined position of the detected pattern in the physical environment relative to the headset.

Abstract: Creating ambient lighting based on a color temperature range may be performed by a computing apparatus storing a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may comprise instructions that when executed, cause a processor of the computing apparatus to receive as input, an indication of a target color temperature range for the computing apparatus. The computer-readable storage medium may comprise instructions to compare a measured color temperature on a display of the computing apparatus to the target color temperature range, and using a plurality of color lighting elements communicatively coupled to the computing apparatus, create ambient lighting in an environment surrounding the computing apparatus based on the target color temperature range.

Abstract: Examples of a keyboard device to switch between operating system (OS) modes are described herein. In some examples, the keyboard device may include a key that includes a lighting element that switches between lighting modes based on a selected OS mode. The lighting mode may indicate the selected OS mode.

Abstract: A portable computing device may comprise an internal central processing unit (CPU), an internal graphics processing unit (GPU), a communications port to communicate with an external computing device, a first electronic display connected to the internal GPU, a second electronic display connected to the internal GPU, a touch input device to receive touch inputs from a user, and a display mode control unit. The control unit may cause the portable computing device to selectively operate in a dual display operational mode, a direct input operational mode, and an indirect input operational mode.

Abstract: An example touch/pen (T/P) sensor device includes a T/P sensor to generate position information based on user interaction with a sensor surface of the T/P sensor, and a color sensor to sense a color hue of a writing tip of a pencil to be used to interact with the sensor surface of the T/P sensor to generate a digital image. The T/P sensor device also includes a processor to record metadata with the digital image to indicate the sensed color hue.
