A method for rejecting an unintentional palm touch is disclosed. In at least some embodiments, a touch is detected by a touch-sensitive surface associated with a display. Characteristics of the touch may be used to generate a set of parameters related to the touch. In an embodiment, firmware is used to determine a reliability value for the touch. The reliability value and the location of the touch is provided to a software module. The software module uses the reliability value and an activity context to determine a confidence level of the touch. In an embodiment, the confidence level may include an evaluation of changes in the reliability value over time. If the confidence level for the touch is too low, it may be rejected.

Embodiments of a multi-screen synchronous slide gesture are described. In various embodiments, a first motion input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system, and the first motion input is recognized when moving in a particular direction across the first screen. A second motion input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, where the second motion input is recognized when moving in the particular direction across the second screen and approximately when the first motion input is recognized. A synchronous slide gesture can then be determined from the recognized first and second motion inputs.

Multi-screen synchronous slide gesture

Bezel gestures for touch displays are described. In at least some embodiments, the bezel of a device is used to extend functionality that is accessible through the use of so-called bezel gestures. In at least some embodiments, off-screen motion can be used, by virtue of the bezel, to create screen input through a bezel gesture. Bezel gestures can include single-finger bezel gestures, multiple-finger/same-hand bezel gestures, and/or multiple-finger, different-hand bezel gestures.

Multi-Finger Gestures

Embodiments of a multi-screen hold and tap gesture are described. In various embodiments, a hold input is recognized at a first screen of a multi screen system, and the hold input is recognized when held to select a displayed object on the first screen. A tap input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, and the tap input is recognized when the displayed object continues being selected. A hold and tap gesture can then be determined from the recognized hold and tap inputs.

A computer microprocessor has a housing portion with a recess formed in a top side wall thereof, and a die portion inset within the recess. Operating heat from the die is removed by heat dissipation apparatus which automatically adapts to variations in the microprocessor bond line thickness and includes a sheet metal EMI shield wall overlying the microprocessor and having a condensing end portion of a thermosyphoning heat pipe secured to its bottom side, with an evaporating end portion of the heat pipe overlying the die recess and being resiliently deflectable toward a phase change thermal pad mounted on the top side of the die and inset into the housing die recess. A metal heat sink member is rotatably mounted on the heat pipe evaporating end portion and has a flat bottom side and an arcuate top side. The heat sink member is resiliently deflected into the die recess, and has its flat bottom side resiliently pressed against the thermal interface pad, by a spring plate portion of a clamping structure downwardly engaging the arcuate top side of the heat sink member. During operation of the microprocessor, die heat is transferred to the metal shield wall sequentially through the thermal pad, the heat sink member, and the heat pipe and then dissipated from the shield wall using fan-generated cooling air flowed along the shield wall.

A latching mechanism comprising a hook connected to a first component The hook has a first position disposed within the first component and a second position extending from the first component The latching mechanism further comprising a receptacle disposed within a second component and engaged with the hook A magnet is disposed within the second component and moves the hook from the first position to the second position as the second component is disposed in close proximity to the first component A push-button release mechanism is disposed within the first component and moves the hook from the second position so as to disengage said hook from said receptacle

Push-button latching mechanism

A tablet computer including a display panel including a display screen that is surrounded by an outer housing that defines a top edge of the display panel, the display panel further including an internal antenna that is positioned within the housing adjacent the top edge, and a base to which the display panel is pivotally connected, the base comprising a metal-free zone adjacent its front edge, which is positioned adjacent the top edge of the display panel when the tablet computer is placed in a tablet mode orientation, wherein the metal-free zone facilitates operation of the antenna.

A keyboard illumination system (12) comprises an electronic device (10) having a keyboard (22) with at least one keycap (24), the at least one keycap (24) having disposed thereon at least two different legends (30), at least one of the two different legends (30) visible in response to being illuminated with an ultraviolet (UV) light source (50), the electronic device (10) configured to register input of the at least one legend (30) while the UV light source (50) is activated.

Keyboard illumination system

A computer device comprises at least two operational components disposed within a housing of the computer device. The computer device also comprises a cooling system thermally coupled to the at least two operational components, the cooling system configured to receive an airflow through at least one inlet and discharge the airflow through at least two outlets to dissipate thermal energy generated by the at least two operational components.
