  • Patent number: 11965482
    Abstract: An approach for adjusting the inclination of a solar panel and the pitch of one or more micro-turbines to maximize power output. The approach predicts wind velocity at a small opening of an inclined solar panel wherein a plurality of micro-turbines is located. The approach predicts solar irradiance striking the inclined solar panel. The approach calculates an optimal solar panel inclination angle and micro-turbine pitch based on maximizing power output. The approach adjusts the solar panel inclination angle and micro-turbine pitch based on the calculation.

  • Patent number: 11963288
    Abstract: An assembly for heat-generating components includes a metal and a non-metal layer. To secure to a circuit board that carries a heat-generating component, a metal standoff is secured on a perimeter of the circuit board. Multiple protruding elements of the metal layer of the assembly secure within a respective opening of the standoff. The assembly secures, through metal-to-metal contact, to the standoff by multiple mechanical couplings. The assembly not only covers the circuit board, but also extends laterally beyond the circuit board (and the circuit board components). As a result, the assembly receives thermal energy from a heat-generating component(s) on the circuit board and allows the thermal energy to flow through assembly from one portion of the assembly covering the heat-generating component(s) to the lateral portion of the assembly that does not cover the heat-generating component(s).
