    Abstract: In one embodiment, a hinge apparatus (200) includes two curved rack apparatuses (210a, 210b), each curved rack apparatus defining an arcuate surface (214a) and an arcuate set of gear teeth (216a) concentric with the arcuate surface, where the radius of curvature of the arcuate set of gear teeth is non-uniform. The hinge apparatus further includes a gear assembly (220) that includes a first gear (224a), a second gear (224b), a third gear (226) coupling the first and second gears, a fourth gear (222a) coupling the first gear and the arcuate set of gear teeth of the first curved rack apparatus, and a fifth gear (222b) coupling the second gear and the arcuate set of gear teeth of the second curved rack apparatus.

    Abstract: An air mover external to a mobile computing device provides enhanced cooling to the device by generating forced air delivered to the device via cooling channels connected to openings in the device chassis. If the mobile computing device is passively cooled (is a fanless device), the enhanced cooling can enable the device or device components to operate at a higher power consumption level without exceeding device/component thermal limits or for features that consume high amounts of power (e.g., fast charging) to be incorporated into the device. The air mover can be integrated into or attached to a cable that provides power to the mobile computing device. The air mover can be powered by the cable. The air mover can dynamically adjust the flow rate of the forced air based on device/component performance information (temperature, power consumption, current consumption) or operational state information of the device.

    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a first housing, a second housing, where the second housing includes a fan, an inlet, and actuators, and a hinge, where the hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing. When the first housing is rotated over the inlet, the actuators lower the inlet to create a gap between the inlet and the first housing. In some examples, the inlet includes slats and when the first housing is rotated over the inlet, a distance between each of the slats increases from a first distance to a second distance.
