An information handling system includes a base cover, an exhaust port, a hinge knuckle, and an airfoil. The exhaust port is positioned above the base cover. The hinge knuckle is coupled to the base cover, and diverts airflow from the exhaust port. The airfoil is mounted on the base cover between the exhaust port and the hinge knuckle, and inclines up from the base cover and away from the exhaust port.

In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor including logic to determine from data received from one or more sensors, whether the apparatus is in physical contact with a user. The logic is further to set a power management policy of the apparatus based on a processor context, where the processor context is determined based at least in part on whether the apparatus is in physical contact with the user, and where the power management policy is used by the logic to determine a level of power consumption at which to operate the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A portable information handling system transfers thermal energy associated with operation of processing components in a main housing portion through a graphite torsion spring formed from a graphite sheet by cutting arms to extend out of opposing corners of a central portion and rolling the central portion about a central axis. The graphite torsion spring passes thermal energy between the housing portions with the spring releasing tension as the housing portions rotate from a closed to an open position and the central axis disposed about a hinge pin that couples the housing portions to each other.

Thermal management devices and systems, and corresponding methods of cooling a computing device are described herein. The computing device includes a housing and an airflow management device. The housing includes a plurality of vents. The plurality of vents defines openings through the housing, respectively. The airflow management device is configured to block a first vent of the plurality of vents when the computing device is in a first configuration. The airflow management device is also configured to block a second vent of the plurality of vents when the computing device is in a second configuration.

Volumetric resistance blowers are disclosed herein. An example volumetric resistance blower includes a housing, a motor, and a rotor disposed within the housing and rotated by the motor. The rotor is constructed of metal foam.

A foldable electronic device, including a first body, a second body, an air valve movably disposed in the first body, at least one triggering member, and a hinge connecting the first body and the second body, is provided. The first body has multiple openings respectively located at two opposite surfaces. The triggering member is movably disposed in the first body and has a part exposed outside the first body. The air valve and the triggering member are mutually on moving paths of each other. The first body and the second body are rotated to be folded or unfolded relative to each other by the hinge. A part of the triggering member is suitable for bearing a force such that the triggering member drives the air valve, so that the air valve opens or closes the openings.

A portable electronic device is disclosed. The portable electronic device may include a laptop computing device that includes a base portion and a display housing rotationally coupled to the base portion. The base portion includes a fan designed to drive heated air out of the base portion, thus cooling the portable electronic device. A dynamic (movable) air diverter is integrated into the base portion near the fan's outlet. The air diverter is designed to direct airflow from the fan outlet. Moreover, the air diverter can be repositioned by, for example, rotating the display housing relative to the base portion. As a result of the repositioned air diverter, the airflow from the fan outlet is redirected out of the portable electronic device through a different location. The air diverter can be positioned in different discrete locations, or alternatively, can move continuously with the rotational movement of the display housing.

An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a function module and a driving module. The second body is pivoted to the first body. The function module is pivoted to the first body and located between the first body and the second body. The driving module is at least disposed at the first body and the function module. When the first body is closed to the second body, the function module is located at an original position relative to the second body, and the function module is exposed from the first body. When the first body is rotated in a first clock direction to a first angle relative to the second body, the function module is driven by the driving module so as to rotate in a second clock direction to a second angle relative to the second body, and the first angle is greater than the second angle.
