Patent number: 11938479Abstract: A fluidic device holder configured to orient a fluidic device. The device holder includes a support structure configured to receive a fluidic device. The support structure includes a base surface that faces in a direction along the Z-axis and is configured to have the fluidic device positioned thereon. The device holder also includes a plurality of reference surfaces facing in respective directions along an XY-plane. The device holder also includes an alignment assembly having an actuator and a movable locator arm that is operatively coupled to the actuator. The locator arm has an engagement end. The actuator moves the locator arm between retracted and biased positions to move the engagement end away from and toward the reference surfaces.

Patent number: 11429172Abstract: A power supply architecture combines the benefits of a traditional single stage power delivery, when there are no additional power losses in the integrated VR with low VID and low CPU losses of FIVR (fully integrated voltage regulator) and D-LVR (digital linear voltage regulator). The D-LVR is not in series with the main power flow, but in parallel. By placing the digital-LVR in parallel to a primary VR (e.g., motherboard VR), the CPU VID is lowered and the processor core power consumption is lowered. The power supply architecture reduces the guard band for input power supply level, thereby reducing the overall power consumption because the motherboard VR specifications can be relaxed, saving cost and power. The power supply architecture drastically increases the CPU performance at a small extra cost for the silicon and low complexity of tuning.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Alexander Uan-Zo-Li, Eugene Gorbatov, Harish Krishnamurthy, Alexander Lyakhov, Patrick Leung, Stephen Gunther, Arik Gihon, Khondker Ahmed, Philip Lehwalder, Sameer Shekhar, Vishram Pandit, Nimrod Angel, Michael Zelikson

Publication number: 20180225617Abstract: A method and system for automating work pattern quantification and providing worker feedback based on quantified metrics is provided. The system may first identify a work pattern to be quantified for a user. Using one more predefined rules associated with the identified work pattern, the system determines at least one task associated with the work pattern. One or more services accessed to perform the associated task(s) are identified and event data from these services is collected, each event including an associated timestamp. The event data is analyzed to generate a focus metric(s). The generated focus metrics may then be used to quantify a work pattern by providing individual or group feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2017Publication date: August 9, 2018Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Patrick LEUNG, Geoff STEARNS, Nick SIDERAKIS, Kirill TITIEVSKY, Benjamin GOJMAN, Zachary YORKE, Xiaolan ZHANG, Adrien BARANES, Samuel HOFFSTAETTER
