  • Patent number: 11859912
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a microelectronics cooling device can include a microchannel heat exchanger within an enclosure that houses the device at a heat absorbing end and another heat exchanger which is optionally also a microchannel heat exchanger at a heat sink end outside the enclosure. One or more pipes flowably connect the two ends for transporting liquid working fluid to the heat absorber and vaporized working fluid to the heat sink. The heat pipes may also be used to transfer heat outside a room that contains the electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 11860725
    Abstract: A failure recommendation system for a command line interface (CLI) uses machine learning to predict the most likely command to correct an unsuccessful or failed attempt to perform an intended operation using the CLI. The failure recommendation system is based on a conditional probability model trained on failure-success pairs of commands from CLI telemetry data to learn the most likely command to remediate a failure. The conditional probability model predicts the most likely command based on a failure type and the failed command. The failure type is identified through a failure type classifier and is used to select the most likely command to remediate a failure from the different events that may lead to a failure.

  • Patent number: 11860730
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to low-overhead, bidirectional error checking for a serial peripheral interface. An example device includes an integrated circuit. The device also includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) with a Master In Slave Out (MISO) channel and a Master Out Slave In (MOSI) channel. The MOSI channel is configured to receive a write address, payload data, and a forward error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. The integrated circuit is configured to calculate and provide a reverse error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. Additionally, the integrated circuit is configured to compare the forward error-checking code to the reverse error-checking code. Further, the integrated circuit is configured to write, to the write address if the forward error-checking code matches the reverse error-checking code, the payload data.

  • Patent number: 11859085
    Abstract: Provided is a hemp and PBAT based biopolymer substrate as a replacement composition to various synthetic, or synthetic containing compounds, plastics. The substrate requires no specialized knowledge as known in the art, utilizes existing manufacturing equipment and methods of processing and contains no synthetic polymers. The substrate is biodegradable and compostable, and produces no micro plastic waste when discarded or by degradation. By selectively adjusting the ranges of the biopolymer substrate, various products with attributes of a myriad of plastic products can be manufactured according to their existing methods. The substrate is comprised of compounds from renewable resources and contributes zero greenhouse gas emissions at the end of a products useful life.
