Abstract: Example blood pressure apparatus using active materials and related methods are described herein. An example apparatus includes a band to be worn around a limb of a user, an active material carried by the band and a controller to: (1) apply an activation signal to the active material to constrict blood flow in the limb, and (2) reduce the activation signal to allow blood flow in the limb.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a cold plate. The ruler factor cold plate is to receive heat from semiconductor chips of a electronic component that is to be plugged into an electronic system. The cold plate has at least one of: a) a linearly advancing physical interface, the linearly advancing physical interface to make physical contact with a corresponding linearly advancing physical interface of a cooling component of the electronic system, the physical contact to create a thermal path from the cold plate to the cooling component; b) first fingers on a first face of the cold plate to make spring-force thermal contact with the semiconductor chips of the electronic component and second fingers on an opposite second face of the cold plate to make spring-force thermal contact with the respective semiconductor chips of another, neighboring electronic component.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an apparatus for a device for writing with character stroke sensing. In one instance, the device may include a body, a component for writing disposed substantially lengthwise inside the body, and one or more sensors disposed inside the body, substantially around with the component for writing, to sense deviations of the component for writing from a default position inside the body, in response to a contact of the component for writing with a writing medium. The sensed deviations are used to generate data indicative of character strokes the component for writing imparts on the writing medium. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Apparatus and method to facilitate heat transfer fluid flow are disclosed herein. A flexible tube having first and second ends facilitates a heat transfer fluid to flow from the first end to the second end. Ferromagnetic material encircles at least an outside portion of a length of the flexible tube, and a plurality of coil windings encircles the ferromagnetic material. The flexible tube is to be compressed to reduce an amount of flow of the heat transfer fluid from the first end to the second end by expansion of the ferromagnetic material around the flexible tube, in response to an application of a current to the plurality of coil windings.

Abstract: An imaging device includes an image receiving surface movably supported within the imaging device and at least one printhead having a plurality of ink jets, each ink jet being configured to eject drops of ink on the image receiving surface. At least one sensing electrode is positioned adjacent the image receiving surface that outputs capacitance signals indicative of a capacitance in a gap between the at least one sensing electrode and image receiving surface that are output to a controller.
