Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for computer assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD). An apparatus for CA/AD may include a sensor interface, a communication interface, and a driving strategy unit. The sensor interface may receive sensor data indicative of friction between a road surface of a current location of a CA/AD vehicle and one or more surfaces of one or more tires of the CA/AD vehicle. The communication interface may receive, from an external road surface condition data source, data indicative of friction for a surface of a road section ahead of the current location of the CA/AD vehicle. The driving strategy unit may determine, based at least in part on the sensor data and the data received from the external road surface condition data source, a driving strategy for the CA/AD vehicle beyond the current location of the CA/AD vehicle. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a heat pipe with a liquid reservoir. The heat pipe with a liquid reservoir can include a main heat transfer portion that includes wick material and a vapor channel and a reservoir portion that includes the wick material where the wick material in the reservoir portion occupies at least about fifteen percent more of a volume of the reservoir portion than a percentage of a volume that the wick material occupies in the main heat transfer portion. In an example, the reservoir portion holds surplus liquid that is used when the main heat transfer portion starts to experience dryout.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive data related to thermal properties of a first heat source, activate an air mover based on the received data related to the thermal properties of the first heat source, where a majority of the air moved by the air mover is biased in a first direction, determine that the majority of the air should have a bias in a second direction, and reverse a direction of rotation of the air mover to cause the air moved by the air mover to have a bias in the second direction. In an example, the first direction towards the first heat source and the second direction is opposite the first direction and towards a second heat source.
