Abstract: Described are mechanisms and methods to facilitate power saving in Type-C connectors. Some embodiments may comprise an interface to a Configuration Channel (CC) signal path and to a ground signal path of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C connector port, a first circuitry, and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to place toggled values on the CC signal path. The second circuitry may be operable to couple the ground signal path to a detection signal path. The placement of the toggled values on the CC signal path is enabled when the detection signal path carries a first value that corresponds with the USB Type-C connector port being connected to a USB Type-C device, and may be disabled when the detection signal path carries a second value that corresponds with the USB Type-C connector port not being connected to a USB Type-C device.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a device that includes: a first power rail to provide a signal from a power source to a reference supply voltage pin of a memory controller; a second power rail to provide a signal from the power source to an output buffer pin of the memory controller and to an output buffer pin of a central processing unit (CPU). In some examples, the second power rail is separate from the first power rail, during a high power state, the power source is to supply a same voltage to each of the reference supply voltage pin, the output buffer pin of the memory controller, and the output buffer pin of the CPU, and during a connected standby state, the power source is to reduce voltage provided to the output buffer pin of the memory controller and the output buffer pin of the CPU using the second power rail and maintain a voltage provided to the reference supply voltage pin.

Abstract: Technology for an electronic device is described. The electronic device can include a fingerprint sensor, a heart rate sensor, and a controller. The controller can receive a fingerprint of a user captured using the fingerprint sensor. The controller can determine whether the fingerprint of the user matches a predefined fingerprint stored in a data store of the electronic device. The controller can receive heart rate information of the user captured using the heart rate sensor. The controller can determine whether the heart rate information is within a defined range. The controller can unlock the electronic device to allow the user to access the electronic device when the fingerprint of the user matches the predefined fingerprint stored in the data store and the heart rate information is within the defined range.
