20140188283 | ADJUSTING PERFORMANCE RANGE OF COMPUTING DEVICE - A computing device including an expandable component is described herein. The computing device also includes logic at least a portion of which is in hardware. The logic is to determine a desired performance range for the computing device and expand or compress the expandable component to provide the desired performance range for the computing device. | 07-03-2014 |
20140341418 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING EXPANDABLE SPEAKER BOX - An electronic device having at least one expandable speaker box is provided. The electronic device may include a base having at least one speaker disposed therein and at least one speaker box configured to expand. The electronic device may include further include a lid having a display configured to be attached to the base. The at least one speaker box may be at least partially formed of a compressible-expandable material, such as rubber. Alternatively, the at least one speaker box may be at least partially formed of a bi-metal material that expands when exposed to heat. | 11-20-2014 |
20150092329 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE SYSTEM WITH AN EMBEDDED DISPLAY UNIT - Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer, laptop, or tablet that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which may include any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of an electronic device may include a display portion, which includes a main display that is provided on a first side of the display portion; a secondary display unit that is provided on a second side of the display portion; and a hinge to secure the secondary display unit to the display portion, where the hinge is to allow a rotation of the secondary display unit in relation to the display portion. | 04-02-2015 |
20150093937 | MODULAR POWER ADAPTOR - An adaptor may include a base modular unit that includes a plurality of surface connectors, a first port and circuitry. At least one surface connector may couple to an expansion modular unit. Circuitry or logic may provide information from the first port to the at least one surface connector. | 04-02-2015 |
20150095533 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING TWO WIRELESS COMMUNICATION COMPONENTS - An electronic device may include a first wireless communication component and a second wireless communication component. The first wireless communication component is to operate (or communicate) using a first protocol, and to receive a wireless signal from another device by the first protocol. The second wireless communication component is to operate (or communicate) using a second protocol, and to begin communicating with the another device using the second protocol in response to receiving a trigger signal. | 04-02-2015 |

20160140332 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FEATURE-BASED AUTHENTICATION - A system and method for capturing an image of a user. An image is captured with a camera, wherein the image includes a user's image. A first avatar is displayed in a display, wherein displaying includes positioning an avatar in at least some of the user's image. The user is then encouraged to move so the first avatar moves to a second position in the display. | 05-19-2016 |
20160140390 | LIVENESS DETECTION USING PROGRESSIVE EYELID TRACKING - Techniques for liveness detection using progressive eyelid tracking are disclosed. A series of frames of a user are captured by a camera. The user's face, including a pair of eyes and eyelids, are detected within each of a plurality of captured frames. A respective pair of regions of interest is extracted from each captured frame within the plurality of respective captured frames, each respective region of interest including a respective eye of the respective pair of eyes detected and a respective eyelid corresponding to the respective eye. A respective score corresponding to a percentage of the respective eye unobstructed by the respective eyelid is calculated for each region of interest. A liveness indication is generated by a pattern recognizer analyzing the series of respective pairs of scores for an abnormal eyelid movement sequence. | 05-19-2016 |
20160140405 | PREVENTING FACE-BASED AUTHENTICATION SPOOFING - System and techniques for preventing face-based authentication spoofing are described herein. A visible light emitter may be controlled to project a pattern into a camera's field of view during an authentication attempt. An image may be obtained from the camera for the authentication attempt. A potential spoofing region on image may be identified by finding the pattern. An authentication attempt based on a face found in the potential spoofing region may be prevented. | 05-19-2016 |
20160142702 | 3D ENHANCED IMAGE CORRECTION - A user authentication system and method. A two-dimensional image of a scene is obtained and range information obtained from the scene is aligned with the two-dimensional image. One or more depth regions is identified and image segments corresponding to the one or more depth regions are selected within the two-dimensional image. Brightness operations are performed on one or more of the selected image segments to form a corrected image. | 05-19-2016 |
