  • Publication number: 20240046916
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for graphics translation. A subset of a plurality of natural language image descriptions for an image of a product is received. A set of shared natural language descriptors is identified in the subset of the plurality of natural language image descriptions. The set of shared natural language descriptors is aggregated, and a description for the first image is generated based on the aggregated set of shared natural language image descriptions.

  • Patent number: 11804210
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for graphics translation. A plurality of natural language image descriptions is collected for an image of a product. An overall description for the image is generated using one or more models, based on the plurality of natural language image descriptions, by: identifying a set of shared descriptors used in at least a subset of the plurality of natural language image descriptions, and aggregating the set of shared descriptors to form the overall description. A first request to provide a description of the first image is received, and the overall description is returned in response to the first request, where the overall description is output using one or more text-to-speech techniques.

  • Patent number: 10383261
    Abstract: A system includes a front plate, first and second side plates extending from the front plate, a bridge heat sink coupled to and extending from the front plate between the side plates, and a heat pipe coupled to the front plate. The front plate defines a slot therethrough between the front and back sides. The first side plate includes a fin bank mounted on an outer side thereof. The bridge heat sink defines a fluid channel that is fluidly connected to the slot of the front plate. The fluid channel is configured to receive a first cooling fluid therein to dissipate heat from electronics packages that engage the bridge heat sink. The heat pipe extends to and at least partially through the fin bank. The heat pipe contains a second cooling fluid therein that transfers heat absorbed from the front plate to the fin bank for dissipating heat.

  • Patent number: 10032693
    Abstract: A system includes a front plate, a manifold cover, and bridge heat sinks. The manifold cover is secured to the front plate to define a fluid distribution chamber along a front side of the front plate. The manifold cover defines a port opening through which a cooling fluid is received from outside of the manifold cover. The bridge heat sinks extend rearward from a back side of the front plate. The bridge heat sinks define fluid channels that are fluidly connected with the fluid distribution chamber through corresponding slots in the front plate. The fluid distribution chamber is configured to distribute the cooling fluid received from outside of the manifold cover through the fluid channels of the bridge heat sinks in order to cool one or more electronics packages disposed along the bridge heat sinks without the cooling fluid engaging the one or more electronics packages.

  • Patent number: 9738159
    Abstract: A system includes a grid coupled to an electrical bus; an electrical power modulation device coupled to the electrical bus that can output modified electrical power received from the electrical bus; a blower motor coupled to the electrical power modulation device that can receive the modified electrical power output and can provide a stream of air to affect a temperature of the grid, and a controller. A speed of the blower motor may be based at least in part on an amount of the modified electrical power. The controller can receive an operating parameter, and is responsive to that parameter by causing the electrical power modulation device to vary the amount of the modified electrical power. A blower motor speed may be controlled based at least in part on the operating parameter.
