Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to validating the integration of new carrier components at base station equipment, e.g., in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, confirming based on installation data, an installation milestone of an installation of a carrier component at base station equipment, resulting in a confirmed milestone. The method can further include, based on the confirmed milestone, identifying for an evaluation of the installation of the carrier component, a criterion associated with a characteristic of operation of the base station equipment. Further, the method can include based on a result of evaluation of the installation, sending, by the network equipment, a validation signal to the base station equipment indicating that the installation of the carrier component is validated.

Abstract: A footwear cooling system includes a main airflow tube and first and second secondary air flow tubes positioned in respective air inlets in the front of a shoe. The first and second secondary air flow tubes join the main air flow tube at respective acute angles at a junction positioned a selected distance behind the main air inlet. The portion of the main airflow tube in front of the junction and the first and second secondary air flow tubes each have a plurality of air ducts formed on their side surfaces. The main air flow tube is connected to a fan which pulls air in from the main and secondary air inlets and exhausts air out of the rear of the shoe.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for configuring fan speeds can include (i) measuring an air temperature at the air intake of a fan that cools a hardware processing unit of a computing device, (ii) adjusting a rotational speed for the fan based on the air temperature at the air intake of the fan and at least one additional parameter measured around the time of measuring the temperature of the air, and (iii) sending, to the fan, an instruction to rotate at the rotational speed. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) circuit is configured for impedance matching, such as for mitigating noise. In connection with an example embodiment, an RF circuit includes a transceiver in a substrate, and a conductive ring-type of material in the substrate and around at least a portion of the transceiver circuit. An upper conductive ring material is over the substrate and separated from the conductive ring-type material by an insulating layer. The upper conductive ring material is configured to generate an inductance that matches input impedance characteristics of the transceiver circuit. In some implementations, the upper conductive ring material connects a gate input pin of the circuit with the gate of an input transistor of an amplifier in the transceiver, and exhibits an impedance that matches the impedance of the input transistor.
