  • Patent number: 11294845
    Abstract: An information handling system couples a solid state drive assembly having plural solid state drives to a motherboard with a single M.2 connector coupled to the motherboard by interfacing the plural solid state drives with an adapter circuit board having an M.2 interface defined at one end to insert into the motherboard connector and having plural M.2 connectors to interface with the plural solid state drives in a desired configuration, such as a stacked vertical configuration that more efficiently uses motherboard footprint to include persistent memory.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10254802
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for transitioning a magnetic keyboard between retracted and extended states using a retractable keyboard hinge structure. An information handling system may include a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion rotatably coupled by the retractable keyboard hinge structure. The first housing portion may include a magnetic keyboard, and a sliding plate including a plurality of magnets that may be disposed underneath the magnetic keyboard. The retractable keyboard hinge structure may include a first hinge and a first cam. The first hinge and the first cam, when the first housing portion is rotated in relation to the second housing portion, may cause the sliding plate to move in a first linear direction. In response to the sliding plate moving, the plurality of magnets may cause the magnetic keyboard to move in a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction.
