    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge. The hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing and includes an off-center lobe that generates a field. The second housing includes a detection engine to detect a strength of the field generated by the off-center lobe and determines a hinge angle (or a position of the first housing relative to the second housing) based on the detected strength of the field generated by the off-center lobe.

    Abstract: A solution to the technical problem of improving device-to-device connection speeds includes the use of single-wire communication (SWC). Unlike the two differential wires required in transmission lines, SWC includes a transmission method using a single wire for data without requiring a return wire. The use of SWC has the potential to enable low loss channels of increasingly high bandwidth. The SWC improvements in bandwidth and frequency enable a significant reduction of power required for communication. SWC provides significant improvement in speed for each channel, so fewer wires may be used for each device-to-device connection. SWC also provides the ability to convey increased bandwidth and increased power over each wire, which further reduces the number of wires needed to provide power and communication.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an arrangement for single wire communications (SWC) for an electronic device. In one instance, the arrangement may comprise a cable assembly to connect with the electronic device, wherein the cable assembly may include a wire to conduct SWC and a cover portion to cover a portion of the wire. The cover portion may comprise a ferro-dielectric material. The arrangement may further include a control logic coupled with the cable assembly, to adjust characteristics associated with the ferro-dielectric material, to tune a signal termination impedance value associated with the cable assembly. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A communication interface apparatus can include a free-air optical transceiver for communicating signals at a first speed and an electrical contact for communicating at least one of: signals at a second speed or power. The communication interface can include a substrate having a plurality of electrical circuits. The optical transceiver can be electrically coupled to the substrate and configured to transceive an optical signal in free air. In an example, the optical transceiver can convert the optical signal to the signal at the first speed, such as an electrical signal. In an example, the electrical contact can be communicatively coupled to the substrate. The electrical contact and the free-air optical transceiver can be attached to the substrate in fixed relation with respect to one another.
