  • Publication number: 20190302860
    Abstract: An accessory is selectively coupled in a first position or a second position to a portable electronic device. The accessory includes a touch unit and a heat dissipation unit. The touch unit is configured to be touched by a user to apply a contact force. An area of the touch unit to be touched by the user is defined as a contact point. When the accessory is in the first position, the touch unit detects a location of the contact point and outputs a control signal to the portable electronic device. The heat dissipation unit comes in contact with a heat source of the portable electronic device when the accessory is in the second position.

    Abstract: A cycling heat dissipation module suited for dissipating heat generated from a heat source is provided. The cycling heat dissipation module includes an evaporator, a condenser, and a micro/nano-structure. The evaporator is thermal contacted with the heat source to absorb heat generated therefrom. The condenser is connected to the evaporator to form a loop, and a working fluid is filled in the loop. The working fluid in liquid state is transformed to vapor state by absorbing heat in the evaporator, and the working fluid in vapor state is transformed to liquid state by dissipating heat in the condenser. The micro/nano-structure is disposed in the condenser to destroy a boundary layer of the working fluid while passing through the condenser.

  • Publication number: 20190212445
    Abstract: A laser distance sensor (LDS) performs multiple measurement attempts with different values of operating parameters, e.g. of laser power gain (GL) or received light amplifier gain (GTIA). The parameter values, and the order of values for different measurement attempts, are determined from analysis of prior measurement data. Such data may include parameter values used in prior satisfactory measurements. The parameter values, the order indication, and other measurement information are stored by the LDS for use in subsequent measurements. Machine learning is performed to analyze stored data and determine the best parameter values and order for the current measurement.
