Abstract: An apparatus includes a computer enclosure with a first fan, a second fan, a fan controller, and an input for receiving a signal from a microphone indicating an amount of noise at a target location. The apparatus further includes a first actuator coupled to the first fan for adjusting an axial position of the first fan, wherein the controller controls the operation of the first actuator to position the first fan to reduce the noise indicated by the signal from the microphone with the first and second fans in operation. The microphone senses sound pressure and the controller automatically adjusts a position of one or more fans using an actuator to change the distance from the fan to the microphone, which may be co-located with a user, to provide destructive interference at the location of the microphone.

Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to initiate a contextual session associated with a context; receiving, at the device, at least one context input during a duration of the contextual session; and responsive to receiving the at least one context input, extending the duration of the contextual session, wherein the extended duration does not require receipt of subsequent indications. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: For fine adjustment of linear control, a processor detects a specified touch of a finger on a linear control of the touch screen. In response to detecting the specified touch, the processor measures a rolling contact of the finger on the touch screen. Subareas of the finger maintain contact with corresponding pixels of the touch screen. The processor modifies the linear control as a function of the rolling contact.

Abstract: In one aspect, a headset includes a housing, a processor coupled to the housing, a first at least partially transparent display coupled to the housing and accessible to the processor, and storage coupled to the housing and accessible to the processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the processor to determine that a user cannot view at least a portion of a second display and, based on the determination, present at least a first portion of content on the first display.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, at least one display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify jiggling or other back and forth movement of a mouse cursor. The instructions are also executable to, based on the identification, present at least one indication on the at least one display of a current location on the at least one display of the mouse cursor. The at least one indication includes something other than the mouse cursor itself.

Abstract: For adjusting audio streaming bandwidth based on volume, a processor detects a low-volume condition for streaming audio. In response to detecting the low-volume condition, the processor communicates a request for reduced bandwidth for the streaming audio.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, an audible command to perform a function; determining, using a processor, at least one aspect associated with the audible command that prevents performance of the function; and providing, based on the determining, a suggested modification to the audible command. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, comprising: detecting, using a processor, a notification at an information handling device; detecting, using a processor, availability of an input associated with an user at the information handling device; and selecting, using a processor, an operating mode of the information handling device, wherein the selected operating mode of the information handling device comprises a mode that modulates a noise. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: In one aspect, a vehicle includes an engine, a battery, a processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to identify a road feature and, at least in part based on the identification, apportion power between the engine and the battery to propel the vehicle.
