Abstract: A vapor chamber structure includes an aluminum upper plate, an aluminum lower plate, a working fluid and multiple micron-sized recesses. The aluminum upper plate has a first side and a second side. The aluminum lower plate has a third side and a fourth side. The aluminum upper and lower plates are correspondingly mated with each other to define an airtight chamber. The working fluid is filled in the airtight chamber. The micron-sized recesses are directly formed on the third side. The micron-sized recesses are upward raised and/or downward recessed from the third side in the form of multiple small puddles so as to enhance the boiling efficiency of the working fluid in the airtight chamber and promote liquid-vapor circulation performance of the vapor chamber. In addition, when used in a low-temperature environment, the vapor chamber structure prevents the working fluid in the airtight chamber from freezing.

Abstract: A post-processed GNSS solution from raw GNSS data acquired from a vehicle and optionally other sources is dynamically calculated at the epoch level without using a Kalman filter. Instead, a plurality of GNSS processing methods is applied to each epoch in either the forward or backward direction and the most accurate solution for each epoch of the forward generated solution and backward generated solution is combined. The combined post-processed GNSS solution is determined based on which of the GNSS processing methods were used to generate an epoch of the forward solution and a corresponding epoch of the backward solution.
