Publication number: 20210218845Abstract: Techniques for video conferencing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a mirror assembly can be used to position a mirror in front of a camera, reflecting a view of the camera downward towards a whiteboard or other drawing surface, allowing a user to show a drawing during a video conference. In another embodiment, video data and audio data of a user in a video conference can be analyzed to determine what portions of the video data and audio data should be transmitted to a remote participant in the video conference. Unintentional input supplied by the user in the video data and audio data may be used to determine which portions of the video data and audio data to transmit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Aleksander Magi, Soethiha Soe, Marko Bartscherer, Prakash Kurma Raju, Arvind Sundaram, Ayeshwarya B.

Patent number: 10976782Abstract: A convertible mobile compute device comprises a lid, a base, and a hinge assembly coupled to the lid and the base. The hinge assembly includes a lid hinge bracket secured to the lid and configured to rotate about a lid hinge axis. The hinge assembly also includes a base hinge bracket secured to the base and configured to rotate about a base hinge axis. The lid hinge axis is offset from a centerline axis defined by the lid, and the base hinge axis is offset from a centerline axis defined by the base. As described herein, the offsetting of the hinge axes provides for a smaller a lid-to-base gap when the convertible mobile compute device is positioned in a closed mode relative to when the convertible mobile compute device is positioned in a tablet mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Bijendra Singh, Prakash Kurma Raju, Prasanna Pichumani, Kathiravan D

Publication number: 20210103317Abstract: An electronic device may comprise a first chassis, a second chassis, and a hinge assembly configured to rotatably couple the first and second chassis together. The hinge assembly may include a guide unit including a first guide member and a second guide member disposed on opposite sides of a hinge plane and spaced to define a passage area therebetween. The hinge assembly may further include a biasing member configured to move the guide unit such that the passage area of the guide unit traverses the hinge plane in a first direction as the first chassis rotates from a closed position to a fully rotated position. The electronic device may also include a heat carrying member having one end disposed in the first chassis, a second end disposed in the second chassis, and a middle portion extending through the passage area. The size of the passage area may remain fixed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2020Publication date: April 8, 2021Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Prakash Kurma Raju, Samarth Alva, Bhavaneeswaran Anbalagan, Triplicane Gopikrishnan Babu, Prasanna Pichumani, Raghavendra Doddi, Sudheera Sudhakar, Ritu Bawa

Publication number: 20210034115Abstract: Computing devices comprise a releasably attachable display assembly to secure a display to a device housing. The display assembly comprises a cover glass to which a display is attached. A retention frame attached to the perimeter of the cover glass comprises a plurality of hooks along one edge and a plurality of snaps along the remaining edges. The hooks and snaps engage with internal retention features along the interior of the housing to secure the display assembly to the housing. A liquid adhesive secures the cover glass to the retention frame. The display assembly further comprises an energy absorber to form a seal between the frame and the housing. The display assembly allows for computing devices with displays that are easily removable for improved serviceability and narrower bezels for improved industrial design.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2020Publication date: February 4, 2021Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Prasanna Pichumani, Prakash Kurma Raju, Mikko A.

Publication number: 20200352052Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a fan where the fan blades are decoupled from the center shaft. The fan can include a center shaft, a motor coil support, motor coils coupled to the motor coil support, a rotator coupled to the center shaft, and fan blades coupled to the rotator, where rotation of the fan blades is decoupled from the center shaft by the rotator. A blade support can be coupled to the rotator, where the blade support couples the fan blades to the rotator and magnets can be coupled to the blade support. In an example, the rotator can include an inner, an outer race, and bearings.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Srinivas Rao Konakalla, Prakash Kurma Raju, Bijendra Singh, Juha Tapani Paavola, Prasanna Pichumani

Publication number: 20200319680Abstract: A variable pitch clamshell hinge for use with clamshell housings includes a first shaft coupled to a first variable diameter device and a second shaft coupled to a second variable diameter device. The first variable diameter device and the second variable diameter device are coupled together using an inelastic linking element. As the shafts are rotated in a first direction the variable diameter devices increase in diameter. As the shafts are rotated in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, the variable diameter devices decrease in diameter. As the variable diameter devices increase in diameter, the inelastic linking element exerts a compressive force on the variable diameter devices, decreasing the distance (i.e., the pitch) between the shafts. As the variable diameter devices decrease in diameter, the inelastic linking element relaxes the compressive force on the variable diameter devices, increasing the distance between the shafts.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: October 8, 2020Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: SHANKARA VENKATRAMAN GOPALAN, PRASANNA PICHUMANI, RAJEEV REMA SHANMUGAM

Publication number: 20190131692Abstract: Technologies for a metal chassis for an electronic device are disclosed. A manufacturer may manufacture a chassis of an electronic device by machining a recess into a chassis preform and perform an anodization of the chassis. The manufacturer may machine the side of the chassis preform opposite the recess to a predefined thickness, and then perform a subsequent anodization. The predefined thickness is selected so that, after the subsequent anodization, there is a single anodized layer between the surface of the recess and the chassis surface on the opposite side. The single anodized layer is non-conductive, allowing electromagnetic signals of an antenna to pass through.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Inventors: Jayprakash Thakur, Prakash Kurma Raju, Prasanna Pichumani, Akarsha Kadadevaramath
