  • Patent number: 12297813
    Abstract: A multisiphon passive cooling system includes a heat exchanger thermally connected to a heat-generating component located within an enclosure, a distribution manifold located below the heat exchanger, a condensing unit located external to the enclosure and above the heat exchanger, and a first conduit thermally connected to the heat exchanger. The first conduit is fluidly connected to the distribution manifold and the condensing unit. The cooling system also includes a second conduit fluidly connected to the condensing unit and the distribution manifold, a liquid bridge fluidly connected to the first conduit and the second conduit or the distribution manifold, and a two-phase cooling medium that circulates through a loop defined by the first conduit, the liquid bridge, the condensing unit, the second conduit, the heat exchanger, and the distribution manifold. As such, the liquid bridge transfers the cooling medium in a liquid state from the first conduit to the second conduit or the distribution manifold.

  • Publication number: 20250006217
    Abstract: A method includes receiving training data that includes a set of transcribed speech utterances where each respective transcribed speech utterance is paired with a corresponding transcription. For each respective transcribed speech utterance, the method includes generating an encoded audio representation and an encoded textual representation, generating a higher order audio feature representation for a corresponding encoded audio representation, generating a higher order textual feature representation for a corresponding encoded textual representation, and determining a loss for the respective transcribed speech utterance based on the higher order audio feature representation and the higher order textual feature representation. The method also includes training a speech encoder and a text encoder of a correction model based on the loss determined for each transcribed speech utterance of the set of transcribed speech utterances.

  • Publication number: 20240256595
    Abstract: In various embodiments described herein, a visualization system receives message requests from client devices, wherein the message requests comprise at least location data that identifies a location of a client device, and media content, wherein the media content includes at least one of image data, audio data, and video data. In response to receiving the message requests that comprise the media content, the visualization system analyzes and parses the media content to detect one or more tags embedded within the media content. In response to detecting the tag, the visualization system identifies a campaign or account referenced by or associated with the tag. Based on the identification of the campaign based on the tag within the media content, the visualization system determines a distribution of the campaign based on the location data from the message request.
