A portable information handling system executes an application, such as a game, that generates audio information for presentation at multiple speakers through multiple channels. An audio vector engine analyzes the channels to derive a direction and distance associated with the audio information so that a visual cue of the relative location of the origin of the audio information may be presented at a display. In one embodiment, the display is a secondary display having a transparent view into the information handling system. In another embodiment, the direction and distance to a sound origin is presented over a map of a game in which the sound originated, such as a shot fired in a game.

A video recording device, holster and article of clothing are disclosed to reliably and covertly provide for the capture of video, audio, and metadata, and perform other commands. The holster may be provided with a carrier that is, in turn, inserted into the holster. In one embodiment, the holster may be confirmed as being associated with the video recording device to authenticate a user, and establishes a docked position. Moreover, the video recording device may enter a mode of operation associated with using the video recording apparatus automatically when inserted into a holster.

An electronic device with storage functionality is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing member, a first circuit board, a second housing member and a second circuit board. The first circuit board is connected to the first housing member. The second circuit board is coupled to the first circuit board and is parallel to the first circuit board. The first housing member includes two hooks, and the hooks are wedged against the first edge of the second circuit board.

An event marking device marks the real time at which notable events occur. When a notable event occurs, a user causes the event marking device to generate a trigger signal. The event marking device includes a real-time clock. When the user causes a trigger signal to be generated, a microcontroller of the event marking device reads the real-time clock and writes trigger event data to a memory indicating a real time at which the trigger signal was generated. The event marking device outputs the trigger event data to an external device.

A data storage ecosystem that includes a series of devices of increasing size, designed to look and work together as a family, with at least one of the devices being a data storage device having a first consumer-accessible connector and a second high speed connector. The data storage ecosystem also includes a rack-mounted docking unit having a third high speed interfacing connector configured to couple to the second high speed connector of the data storage device when the data storage device is inserted into the rack-mounted docking unit.

A storage system includes a cassette tape case having a first portion defining a recess extending along a length of the case and a second portion that is rotatably coupled with the first portion. The second portion has two protrusions that extend into an interior of the case at a medial position. The protrusions are aligned with a longitudinal axis of the case. A storage device is insertable within the case, the storage device having a storage device body with a two sides and being generally shaped like a cassette tape. The body defines two circular apertures that extend at least partially through a thickness of the body. When the storage device is inserted within the case, each protrusion extends at least partially into a respective circular aperture. The body defines a recess extending along a length of the body and extending partially through the thickness of the body.

The embodied invention is a bendable portable hard drive holder with four foldable arms, an adhering central element, a surface adhering element for attachment to a surface, and bendable metal in the 4 foldable arms. The invention is suited for portable use with a hard drive as the two adhering elements are separable, such as by use of a magnet or hook and loop attachment. The holder remains on the hard drive for improved convenience.

According to an aspect of the present technology, an electronic apparatus includes: an apparatus main body; a cover main body; and a terminal cover. The apparatus main body includes a connection cable that includes a terminal part on its tip. The cover main body includes an opening part that is capable of storing the terminal part, and the cover main body is affixed to the apparatus main body. The terminal cover includes a fixing part that is fixed to the apparatus main body, and the terminal cover is mounted on the cover main body in a manner that the opening part is openable and closable. When using the electronic apparatus, it is possible to enhance not only impact resistance but also storage property and waterproof property of the connection cable.

A protection system for portable electronic devices may include a first impact absorbing panel, a second impact absorbing panel, and multiple spacers adapted to hold the panels apart to accommodate the thickness of a portable electronic device inserted between the panels. The system may include a first rigid shell having multiple attachment slots around its periphery, a first impact absorbing material on the inner side of the first shell, a second rigid shell having multiple attachment slots around its periphery, a second impact absorbing material on the inner side of the second shell, multiple spacers adapted to attach to the shells at the attachment slots, wherein the spacers hold the panels apart with their inner sides facing each other, thereby forming a protected space for the portable electronic devices between the shells and spacers.
