  • Patent number: 11266043
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for managing thermal energy of a computing device. An apparatus may include a heat pipe physically and thermally attached to a container by a retainer. The container may include a plurality of slots to removably receive various plurality of pluggable circuit modules during a lifetime of the container. The heat pipe may facilitate a liquid coolant flow to remove thermal energy from a plurality of pluggable circuit modules removably received into the plurality of slots of the container. The retainer may have a tensile strength sufficient to withstand repeated receiving and removal of the various plurality of pluggable circuit modules during the lifetime of the container, without degrading the thermal attachment of the heat pipe to the container below a design performance threshold. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 10945353
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may include apparatuses, systems and/or processes to provide a mechanism with a folded wrapping to mate with a circuit board and a heatsink to enclose and seal a volume between the circuit board and the heatsink. The mechanism with the folded wrapping may be dimensioned to enclose and seal the volume with the volume having a size to accommodate one or more processors to be disposed within the volume, electrically coupled to the circuit board and thermally coupled to the heatsink. On enclosing and sealing the volume, the mechanism with the folded wrapping may keep coolant from reaching the one or more processors when the circuit board, the mechanism, and the heatsink are immersed in the coolant. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 10866974
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for providing a display of content consumption by geographic location. The method includes storing, in a data store, geographic locations of a set of users consuming content items and consumption characteristics of the content items, wherein the content items are identified by user devices at the geographic locations while the content items are played by source devices external to the user devices, and wherein information about a content item of the identified content items, which is consumed by a user of the set of users, is transmitted to the server system by a user device of the user. The method also includes extracting, from the data store, geographic locations of consumption and a set of consumption characteristics of each content item of the identified content items, wherein the set of consumption characteristics comprises a title and times of consumption of the content item by the set of users.

  • Patent number: 10271087
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application configured to monitor attentiveness of a user based on the brain activity of the user. For example, a media guidance application may monitor brain activity associated with an attentiveness level of the user and in response to determining the attentiveness level of the user does not correspond to the threshold attentiveness level, perform an operation associated with a low attentiveness level of the user (e.g., performing a scan operation through various content providers).

  • Patent number: 10242029
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to dynamic display of content consumption by geographic location. A processor recognizes content being consumed by a set of users, and identifies geographic locations of the consumption and a set of characteristics associated with the consumption. The processor further determines at least one filter for a user of the set of users and filters the set of consumption characteristics based on the at least one filter. The processor further ranks respective consumed content based on a filtered set of consumption characteristics, and displays to the user subsets of the consumed content according to respective rankings and geographic location.

  • Patent number: 9639691
    Abstract: A system for managing credentials for authenticating and securely communicating with trusted hosts, for example, in a cloud computing environment. The system dynamically updates credentials stored in a database and injects the updated credentials back into a runtime environment without restarting the runtime environment or applications running on the runtime environment. Embodiments of the present invention further enable credentials to be tracked and managed on a per-tenant basis, allowing each tenant that is running an application on a runtime environment to customize which hosts should be trusted.

  • Patent number: 9384734
    Abstract: An audio recognition service recognizes an audio sample across multiple content types. At least a partial set of results generated by the service are returned to a client while the audio sample is still being recorded and/or transmitted. The client additionally displays the results in real-time or near real-time to the user. The audio sample can be sent over a first HTTP connection and the results can be returned over a second HTTP connection. The audio recognition service further processes check-in selections received from the client for content items indicated by the results. Responsive to receiving the check-in selections, the service determines whether a user is eligible for a reward. If the user is eligible, the service provides the reward.

  • Publication number: 20160140867
    Abstract: Example embodiments may relate to a system, method, apparatus, and computer readable media configured for monitoring a user performing an athletic movement and/or exercise and generating a fatigue value. Fatigue values may be determined for different groups. In one embodiment, a first value is determined for a muscle fatigue value and a second value is determined for a respiratory value. In another embodiment, a first value may pertain to a first muscle group and a second value may pertain to a second muscle group. A fatigue index may be created from values obtained during an athletic movement and/or a workout session. In further embodiments, a cumulative fatigue index may be determined. A cumulative fatigue index may consider values obtained during several workout sessions. Further, data obtained outside of workout sessions may be considered in determinations relating to fatigue values and/or indices.
