Abstract: A heat exchanging system comprising circulating fluid through a tube coupled to an electronic component in a first part of a computing device and to a heat transfer plate in a second part of the computing device.

Abstract: A programmable interface between an IC device and a circuit device is provided, the programmable interface having a bit-encoded output. The programmable interface includes a reference voltage contact and a connection to the circuit device. The connection to the circuit device is associated with the bit-encoded output. The programmable interface also includes a programmable jumper connected between the reference voltage contact and the connection to the circuit device.

Abstract: A power control circuit and corresponding technique for reducing power consumption by an electronic device and thereby increasing performance. The power control circuit comprises a controller, a clock generation circuit and a power supply circuit. The controller detects whether a condition exists to scale the voltage and frequency of the electronic device and in response, signals the clock generation circuit to perform frequency scaling on the electronic device and the power supply circuit to perform voltage scaling on the electronic device. The condition may include a situation where the temperature of the electronic device is detected to have exceeded a thermal band. The condition may also include a situation where the electronic device is detected to be idle for a selected percentage of its run time.

Abstract: A circuit for generating two clock pulse trains of opposite polarity to one another each at a frequency of a single input clock pulse train including a flip-flop for providing the two output clock pulse trains, apparatus for placing the flip-flop in a first condition in response to the input clock pulse train, apparatus for producing signals for placing the flip flop in a second condition in response to the input clock pulse train after a first delay, apparatus for producing signals after a second delay in response to the first delayed signals, apparatus for equating the delays so that the first half of each clock pulse is the same length as the second half, and apparatus for comparing the input pulse train to the pulse trains produced to increase the frequency of the output trains produced responsive to the detection of a subharmonic of the input frequency.
