  • Patent number: 12674462
    Abstract: A method for adjusting fan speed based on a cable connection includes reading an identifier (“ID”) of a network interface card (“NIC”) installed in a computing device, the identifier indicating a NIC type, determining one or more cable types connectable to the NIC from the specification information of the NIC, and measuring power consumption of the NIC. The method includes determining from the power consumption the one or more cable types connectable to the NIC a current cable type connected to the NIC or a lack of a cable connected to the NIC, determining power requirements for the NIC based on the lack of a cable connected to the NIC or the current cable type connected to the NIC, and adjusting a fan speed of one or more fans of the computing device in response to determining the power requirements for the NIC.

  • Patent number: 12494029
    Abstract: A computer program product provides for obtaining first and second three-dimensional point clouds from first and second three-dimensional face images. The first three-dimensional point cloud is orthogonally projected onto a two-dimensional plane to form a first two-dimensional point cloud. A first set of initial correspondence points are identified in the first two-dimensional point cloud before orthogonally projecting the identified first set of initial correspondence points from the first two-dimensional point cloud back to the first three-dimensional point cloud to identify a first set of initial correspondence points in the first three-dimensional point cloud.
