  • Publication number: 20230380105
    Abstract: An example of an apparatus to recover heat from heat generating elements is provided. The apparatus includes a closed-loop fluid flow system having a fluid charged therein. The fluid is to absorb heat. In addition, the apparatus includes a heat exchanger disposed along the closed-loop fluid flow system to remove the heat from the fluid. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a chamber disposed along the closed-loop fluid flow system to receive the fluid at an inlet and to release the fluid from an outlet. The apparatus also includes a plurality of heat generating elements disposed in the chamber. Each heat generating element of the plurality of heat generating elements is immersed in the fluid. The apparatus additionally includes a pump to circulate the fluid in the closed-loop fluid flow system between the heat exchanger and the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20230380101
    Abstract: An example of an apparatus to recover heat from multiple layers of computer components is provided. The apparatus includes a tank to store a fluid. The apparatus further includes a first mining layer disposed in the tank. In addition, the apparatus includes a second mining layer disposed in the tank proximate to the first mining layer. The first mining layer and the second mining layer are substantially parallel. The apparatus also includes an outlet disposed on the tank to release the fluid. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a pump to generate a suction to draw the fluid out of the tank via the outlet. The suction creates a fluid flow in a space between the first mining layer and the second mining layer.

  • Patent number: 9280972
    Abstract: Embodiments that relate to converting audio inputs from an environment into text are disclosed. For example, in one disclosed embodiment a speech conversion program receives audio inputs from a microphone array of a head-mounted display device. Image data is captured from the environment, and one or more possible faces are detected from image data. Eye-tracking data is used to determine a target face on which a user is focused. A beamforming technique is applied to at least a portion of the audio inputs to identify target audio inputs that are associated with the target face. The target audio inputs are converted into text that is displayed via a transparent display of the head-mounted display device.

  • Publication number: 20130100654
    Abstract: At a first location on a first portion of a mounting interface, a mounted first light source comprises a first light emitting diode and a mounting surface electrically coupled to an anode of the first light emitting diode; and at a second location on the first portion of the mounting interface, a mounted second light source comprises a second light emitting diode and a mounting surface electrically coupled to a cathode of the second light emitting diode. The mounting connections provide thermal conductivity between the first portion and the mounting surface of the first light source and between the first portion and the mounting surface of the second light source, and provide an electrical connection between the anode of the first light emitting diode and the cathode of the second light emitting diode.

  • Patent number: 7425606
    Abstract: Identifying subdominant/cryptic epitopes (I) that are presented by a HLA (human leukocyte antigen) Class I molecule, is new. Identifying subdominant/cryptic epitopes (I) that are presented by a HLA (human leukocyte antigen) Class I molecule comprising selecting at least one peptide (II) of 8-11 amino acids (aa), potentially representing an epitope for Class I presentation, from a protein against which a cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response is to be raised. (II) corresponds to a non-immunogenic peptide with low affinity for Class I molecules. Variants (IIa) of (II) are prepared in which the N-terminal aa is replaced by Tyr and their immunogenicity detected by identifying those that generate a CTL response against target cells expressing the parent protein. Peptide sequences from which active (IIa) are derived are then identified.
