Abstract: One embodiment of a modular, scalable cooling system includes a core cooling module configured to be thermally coupled to a heat-generating electronic device and a supplemental cooling module configured to be thermally coupled to the core cooling module. A first interface attached to the core cooling module is configured to thermally couple the core cooling module to the supplemental cooling module. The core cooling module and the supplemental cooling module may be used alone or in combination to dissipate heat from the heat-generating electronic device.

Abstract: In the preferred embodiment, the RGB analog signals generated by a VGA card in a personal computer are applied to a first input of an analog multiplexer. The digital video data stored in a video memory buffer on a video card is converted to RGB analog signals using a D/A converter, and these analog signals are applied to a second input of the analog multiplexer. An analog comparator compares a preselected color key to the analog output of the VGA card. When there is a match, the analog comparator controls the multiplexer to pass the analog video data to the monitor for display. When the color key is not detected, the data from the VGA card is transmitted to the monitor for display. Other features for improving the video overlay precision and the quality of the displayed image are also described.

Abstract: This method is most advantageous when an analog multiplexer is controlled to pass either analog graphics signals or analog motion video signals to a multimedia display screen. In the preferred embodiment, this method includes the steps of outputting a digital color key from a graphics memory buffer at a designated time and for a designated period and then converting this color key to an analog signal. This analog color key signal is then detected during this designated period and stored to obtain a stored color key value. The graphics memory is then controlled to output the graphics signals to be displayed on a multimedia screen. These graphics signals include a digital color key for controlling a multiplexer to display a motion video window on the multimedia screen in place of the color key. The outputted graphics signals are converted into analog signals, and these analog signals are compared to the stored color key value for detecting whether a color key is being outputted in the graphics data stream.

Abstract: In the preferred embodiment, a method automatically aligning video data with a video window on a display screen in a multimedia system includes the steps of storing a selected color key in a graphics memory circuit, storing a chroma key in a motion video memory circuit, and simultaneously controlling the graphics memory circuit to output graphic signals and the motion video memory circuit to output video signals. The graphics signals are then compared to a stored color key to detect when the color key is transmitted within the graphics signals. When there is a match, a color key detection signal is generated. The outputted video signals are compared with a stored chroma key to detect when the chroma key is transmitted. When there is a match a chroma key detection signal is then generated.

Abstract: Advantage is taken of the non-uniform axial neutron flux density distribution in a nuclear reactor core by using fuel rod spacers of low neutron absorption in high neutron flux density regions and fuel rod spacers of low coolant flow resistance in the lower neutron flux density regions of the core, this spacer combination also providing higher fuel bundle thermal limits.
