  • Publication number: 20250098108
    Abstract: Devices, apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for hybrid thermal management in computing modules. An example computing module includes a first computing component having a first operating temperature and a second computing component having a second operating temperature. The first operating temperature is greater than the second operating temperature. The example computing module further includes a hybrid thermal management system including a cooling delivery device configured to receive a cooling fluid. The cooling delivery device defines a first section configured to dissipate heat generated by the first computing component and a second section configured to dissipate heat generated by the second computing component. The first section of the cooling delivery device may be fluidically isolated from the second section of the cooling delivery device or the second section may be in fluid communication with the first section.

  • Publication number: 20250075619
    Abstract: Methods and systems for geothermal energy production wherein multiple horizontal or vertical wells may be used to pass fluids through the Earth from an injector well to a producer well through induced cracks, splits, fractures, conduits, or channels in the rock. Such methods and systems may include controlling tensile-split conduits in a subterranean geothermal formation by providing an injection well, providing a production well, configuring the injection well for injection of a tensile-splitting fluid into a production zone, configuring the production well to produce a heated fluid from the production zone, applying pressure to the production well, creating a plurality of tensile-split conduits, raising or lowering the pressure in the production well, establishing fluid communication between the injection well and the production well, and producing the heated fluid to the surface.

  • Publication number: 20250060654
    Abstract: An image capture device includes a lens barrel disposed in a body of the image device, a bayonet, a replaceable lens module that is configured to releasably couple to the bayonet, and a biasing element coupled to the housing or coupled to the bayonet that is configured to bias the housing against the lens barrel. The replaceable lens module includes a housing and a lens positioned in a lens recess of the housing. Additionally, when an impact force that meets a predetermined threshold is applied to an exterior surface of the replaceable lens module, the housing is configured to compress the biasing element and disengage the lens barrel.

  • Patent number: 11294989
    Abstract: A trusted content usage monitor for monitoring content usage is provided. A unique identifier generation unit generates a unique identifier indicative of content being rendered and a packet generator generates a trusted packet comprising the unique identifier. The trusted packet is trust signed by the trusted content usage monitor, so that it can be trusted by its recipient. The trusted content usage monitor has at least one mode of operation in which content rendering cannot be decoupled from operation of the unique identifier generation unit, so that generated packets can be trusted as truly indicative of content usage.

  • Patent number: 10824451
    Abstract: Simulation of execution of a processing workload by a target hardware device is provided by providing workload data specifying the processing workload, passing the workload data to both a primary partial simulation and a complementary partial simulation that run in parallel and acquire input data from different levels of abstraction of the target hardware and then simulating execution of the processing workload using a primary partial simulation to generate primary partial result state data and using the complementary partial simulation to generate complementary partial result state data. The target hardware device may be a graphics processing unit and the workload data may specify the processing to be performed in a hardware independent form, such as, for example, OpenGL ES. The host system supporting the simulation may include a graphics processing unit serving to provide the complementary partial simulation due to its own execution of the workload data.
