  • Publication number: 20240381570
    Abstract: An immersion cooling system includes a cooling tank, a busbar and two busbar protection modules. The busbar is disposed in the cooling tank. The two busbar protection modules are disposed at opposite sides of the busbar. Each of the two busbar protection modules includes a base, a driving member and a cover. The driving member is pivotally connected to the base. The cover is pivotally connected to the driving member. Two covers of the two busbar protection modules extend toward each other to cover the busbar. When two driving members of the two busbar protection modules are pushed, the two driving members rotate to drive the two covers to move away from each other, such that the busbar is exposed between the two covers.

  • Patent number: 12114450
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a base, a multi-stage sensor, a top cover, and a side cover. The multi-stage sensor is configured to sense a sensed area. The top cover includes a top-sensed element, and the top cover is detachably connected to a top side of the base, so that the top-sensed element can be selectively in or not in the sensed area. The side cover includes a side-sensed element, and the side cover is detachably adjacent to a front side of the base, so that the side-sensed element can be selectively in or not in the sensed area. In response to that only the top-sensed element is in the sensed area, the multi-stage sensor outputs a first signal. In response to that neither the top-sensed element nor the side-sensed element is in the sensed area, the multi-stage sensor outputs a second signal.

    Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to long training field (LTF) and short training field (STF) transmission for wide bandwidth 240 MHz with more direct-current (DC) tones in wireless communications are described. A processor of an apparatus generates either or both of an LTF and a STF of a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) with a center 996-tone resource unit (RU) having more than a predetermined number of DC tones. The processor then performs a wireless communication in a wide bandwidth (e.g., 240 MHz) with the PPDU.
