Abstract: Aspects of the technology evaluate a client device query to identify an IP address-based estimated location of a mobile device (602, 604). One or more candidate wireless stations are selected in accordance with the IP-based estimated location and a location-relevant response to the query is also generated in accordance with the IP-based location. This information is transmitted to the mobile device. (606, 608). The mobile device compares the received information about the candidate wireless stations against one or more actual wireless stations with which the mobile device is in communication (506, 508). Log information is generated as a result of the comparison. The log information is anonymized and transmitted to the network without user ID or other client-identifiable information included in the log. (FIG. 1, 510) The received log information is then used to validate the initial estimated location. Aggregation of log information from multiple devices may be used in the validation process.

Abstract: Direct pin-fin cooling assemblies are disclosed for a high-power printed circuit boards (PCBs). The disclosure can solve the classical coldplate problem associated with liquid cooling of high-power PCBs namely: (1) Inhomogeneous cooling due to the calorimetric heating up of the coolant, (2) thermal interface material (TIM) related quality issues such as dry-out effects, (3) high cost due to complicated metal coldplate structure, and (4) low thermal conductivity due to multi-layer structure. This includes incorporating pin-fin direct cooling into high-power PCB structures without additional coldplate structure or TIM. In this approach, a TIM and a top plate of coldplate can be removed. Thus, the cooling performance can be improved because the thermal conductivity between a liquid coolant and a power device is increased.

Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) is implemented to have another (second) PLL in place of the controlled oscillator. When a known frequency change in the frequency of the output clock is desired, in addition to changing a configuration of the PLL (first PLL), the configuration of the second PLL is also changed to cause the frequency of the output clock to change quickly. In various embodiments, the configuration of the second PLL is changed by changing the divisor of the feedback divider of the second PLL, the divisor in a pre-scaler in the second PLL, the control voltage of a VCO used in the second PLL, and any other point of user control in the second PLL.

Abstract: Embodiments have two approaches as follows: (1) Embedded PCB-based fabrication and (2) PCB assembly-based fabrication. An embedded printed circuit board (PCB) type approach involves the creation of a space of coolant direct interconnection, using immersion cooling to link on any type of power semiconductor device hot spots to convectively and evaporatively cool directly. This means fabricating PCB embedded channels, to utilize the microgap between die and PCB as the cooling channel. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly embodiment includes a PCB having at least one heat generating component. A lid is mounted to the PCB, wherein the lid defines a cooling path therein extending in a coolant flow direction from an inlet end of the cooling path to an outlet end of the cooling path.

Furthermore, the server device provides a familiar location as a frame of reference on a map display when a user selects another location nearby the familiar location. Moreover, the server device includes a familiar location as an intermediate destination when the user request navigation directions to a final destination.

Abstract: Techniques for a flexible data security and machine learning system for merging third-party data are provided. In one technique, the system receives a data set from a third-party entity and receives selection data that indicates that the third-party entity selected a set of data security policies that includes an encryption option and a data mixing option from among multiple data mixing options. In response to receiving the selection data, the system stores data that associates the set of data security policies with the data set, encrypts the data set according to the encryption option, and persistently stores the encrypted data set. Later, the system decrypts the encrypted data set in volatile memory, generates, based on the data mixing option, training data based on the decrypted version of the data set, trains a machine-learned model based on the training data, and stores the machine-learned model in association with the data set.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology evaluate whether a response to a client device search query results in the client device traveling to a location associated with the response (FIG. 1). One or more wireless stations are selected based on the location associated with the search query (604, 606). Wireless station identifiers are sent, along with the search results, to the client device (504, 610). The client device compares the received identifiers against the identifiers of one or more observed wireless stations with which the mobile device is in communication or are otherwise visible (508). Log information is generated by the client device as a result of the comparison (510). The log information is transmitted to the network without user ID or other client-identifiable information included in the log (512). The received log information is then used to accurately evaluate conversions and evaluate search quality, which enhances the user experience and provides for a more efficient search result process (612, 614).
