Abstract: An apparatus for managing HDMI power is described herein. The method for managing HDMI power can include connecting a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) of a computing device to a panel, where the computing device is inactive. The method can also include detecting, with the panel, a connection state and an energy request of the computing device through the HDMI. The method can provide power through the HDMI from a power supply of the panel to the computing device based on the connection state and the energy request of the computing device. The method can activate the computing device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is described herein for reducing noise in a power distribution network for an interface. The power distribution network is characterized. And based on that characterization, worst case patterns for the interface are predicted and avoided. As one example, characterization includes providing a stimulus, such as a step function stimulus, and determining a mathematical function response, such as a step function response. Then, based on the step function response, a resonant frequency for the power distribution network is determined; from which patterns that cause the resonant frequency are identified/predicted. And when identified patterns are detected, they are scrambled or manipulated to avoid causing a worst-case noise scenario in an interface's power distribution network.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatus, methods, systems, devices, and connectors are described herein for a connector having a longitudinal body configured to mount the connector to a PCB. In various embodiments, a first and a second socket may be respectively disposed at a first side and a second side of the longitudinal body. In various embodiments, the first and second sockets may removably receive a first memory module from a first direction and a second memory module from a second direction opposite to the first direction. In various embodiments, the second side may be opposite to the first side. In various embodiments, on insertion into the first and second sockets, the first and second memory modules may be coplanar and/or equidistant from the PCB along a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions.
