Patent number: 11266043Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Annie Chen, David Rodriguez, Barrett M.

Patent number: 9384734Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Matthew Wiseman, Gheorghe M.

Publication number: 20160140867Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2015Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Tesa Aragones, Annie Chen, Adriana Guerrero, Christina S.
