  • Publication number: 20240023277
    Abstract: A hybrid cooling system that includes both immersion cooling and channelized cooling is described. The system cools an electronic device that includes a heat-generating component. The system includes a container that contains a dielectric immersion cooling liquid, the electronic device being, at least in part, immersed in the dielectric immersion cooling liquid, and a liquid cooling block through which a channelized cooling liquid is conveyed. The liquid cooling block is in thermal contact with the heat-generating component, and the channelized cooling liquid has a density that is higher than a density of the dielectric immersion cooling liquid. The system also includes a testing arrangement disposed in a bottom portion of the container, to determine the presence of the channelized cooling liquid in the bottom portion of the container, indicating a leak of the channelized cooling liquid into the dielectric immersion cooling liquid.

  • Publication number: 20230352031
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide audio waveform data that corresponds to a voice sample to a temporal convolutional network for evaluation. The temporal convolutional network can pre-process the audio waveform data and can output an identity embedding associated with the audio waveform data. The identity embedding associated with the voice sample can be obtained from the temporal convolutional network. Information describing a speaker associated with the voice sample can be determined based at least in part on the identity embedding.
