Abstract: A power consuming electronics device that dissipates internal device heat via a heat sink is disclosed. The power consuming electronics device includes first and second complementary housing parts. The first housing part includes a first surface ending at a first peripheral edge, and the second housing part including a second surface ending at a second peripheral edge. The power consuming electronics device also includes a heat sink having an air exposed surface that is interposed between the first and second peripheral edges. Surface edges of the air exposed surface abut the first and second peripheral edges of the housing parts and are respectively matched therewith in shape and dimension so that an overall composite surface formed by the first and second surfaces of the housing parts and the air exposed surface of the heat sink is substantially continuous and uniform.

Abstract: Mobile devices, systems, and methods for end-user transparent utilization of computational, storage, and network capacity of mobile device are described herein. A communication interface may be responsive to a request for a resource from a network of mobile devices. A database may store mobile device information and, in response to the request, identify at least one mobile device having the resource. A virtual machine dispatcher may generate a command to a virtual machine dispatch agent of the at least one mobile device to create a virtual machine to perform the resource.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to a cross-layer approach to virtualized overlay on ad hoc networks are described. In one embodiment, a virtual address may be used to search for a (key, value) pair in a virtual overlay. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to a cross-layer approach for virtualized overlay on ad hoc networks are described. In one embodiment, a virtual address is used to search for a (key,value) pair in a virtual overlay. In an embodiment, a route request for a virtual address, corresponding to a key, is transmitted via a wireless network to one or more of a plurality of computing nodes forming a virtual search overlay and route reply for the virtual address is generated in response to the route request. Other embodiments are also described.
