Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to monitoring the integrity of the thermal interface material (TIM) of a semiconductor device directly by a monitoring component of a motherboard, a system on chip (SOC), or a remote device to measure either the electrical resistivity or capacitive property of the TIM, depending on the type of TIM being used, as a means to directly assess the thermal properties (conductivity, resistance, and/or impedance) of the TIM as it ages. In an aspect, the electrical resistivity or capacitive property of the TIM may be initially measured and charted, and thereafter, the changes in the electrical resistivity or capacitive property may be sensed by the monitoring component and, based on the delta of those changes, there may be remedial actions taken to mitigate impacts to the overall system performance and/or to prevent irreparable damage to the semiconductor device/system.

Abstract: A method predicting and avoiding faults that result in a shutdown of a wind turbine includes receiving operational data of the wind turbine. The method also includes predicting, via a predictive model, current or future behavior of the wind turbine using the operational data. Further, the method includes determining, via a fault detection model, whether the current or future behavior indicates an upcoming short- or long-term fault occurring in the wind turbine. Moreover, the method includes determining, via a prescriptive action model, a corrective action for the wind turbine based on whether the future behavior of the wind turbine indicates the upcoming short- or long-term fault occurring in the wind turbine. Thus, the method also includes implementing the corrective action during operation to prevent the upcoming short- or long-term fault from occurring.

Abstract: A noise suppressing heat exchanger (also referred to as heat sink) includes a plurality of heat dissipating fins formed with baffles. The baffles suppress noise from a fan by slowing air flow and creating internal reflections within the heat exchanger that reflect noise away from the air flow path, absorbing sound energy and potentially setting up standing waves which dissipate noise via destructive interference. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
