Abstract: Various principles and methods are described herein to improve wireless communication in a user computing device. Certain aspects of the disclosure describe management of wireless transmissions relative to various regulations related to a specific absorption rate. Other aspects of the disclosure relate to detection of user proximity to a transmitting antenna. Other aspects relate to alternative strategies to improve wireless communication, such as selection of alternate antennas or baseband modems, or changes in device orientation.

Abstract: A computing device, includes one or more processors, configured to receive first data corresponding to a first radiofrequency signal received from a first wireless communication device, and second data corresponding to a second radiofrequency signal received from a second wireless communication device; select either the first wireless communication device or the second wireless communication device as a repeater device based on the first data or the second data according to one or more repeater selection criteria; instruct a transceiver to send a third radiofrequency signal to the repeater device, wherein the third radiofrequency signal comprises third data and an instruction for the repeater device to repeat the third data to the third wireless communication device.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a fan. The fan can include a center shaft, fan blades that extend from the center shaft, and a plurality of magnets on an outside portion of at least two of the fan blades, where stator coils interact with the magnets to drive the blades around the center shaft. The center shaft and fan blades are a single component from the same material. In some examples, the center shaft and fan blades were created using a metal injection molding process.

Abstract: A circuit board and vapor chamber are disclosed. Connectors couple the vapor chamber to a circuit board. The connectors extend from the bottom of the vapor chamber. The connectors fix the vapor chamber to the circuit board such that the bottom of the vapor chamber thermally couples to a heat source on the circuit board. The circuit board has a connector assembly that couples to the vapor chamber.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for synchronizing haptic actuators with displayed content are described herein. A system may include a computer system, a head-mounted display (HMD) system, and a number of actuators on a wearable device. The computer system may construct a data packet with a network address of a control mechanism on the wearable device and transmit the data packet to the HMD in a video/audio stream. The HMD may identify the data packet in the video/audio stream and forward the data packet to a bus. The control mechanism on the bus is able to retrieve the data packet and access a control message in the data packet, which is used to initiate an effect produced by the control mechanism. The control mechanism may be a haptics actuator, a light controller, or the like.

Abstract: Components, devices, systems, and methods for providing a movable haptic actuator for a user interacting with a simulated environment. The simulated environment may be virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality. A fastener may be used to couple the haptic actuator to a wearable article worn by the user. The haptic actuator communicates with a controller to receive information to provide feedback to the user during operations of the simulated environment. The haptic actuator may be movable from a first position on the wearable article to a second position.
