  • Publication number: 20240155790
    Abstract: Techniques are described to address issues for repairing and/or servicing electronic components through the use of retaining assemblies that use bimetal retaining mechanisms. The bimetal retaining mechanisms may comprise various shapes such as hooks, snap-hooks, clips, etc., and facilitate a temperature-selective removal of various electronic components such as displays, EMI shields, etc. without damaging these components and without compromising the thickness and weight of the electronic device. External heating systems may be used to trigger actuation of the bimetal retaining mechanisms, resulting in their release. Alternatively, internal electronic device heating systems may be used.

  • Publication number: 20230093095
    Abstract: Low-profile fasteners with springs that are either integrated with the fastener or are a physically separate component can provide a more evenly distributed load to a heat transfer device, such as a vapor chamber or a heat pipe. The low-profile fasteners do not increase the height of the base of a mobile computing device as the spring and the portion of the fastener that extends past the spring fit within a recess or cavity of the heat transfer device. The spring can be a diaphragm spring, a wave spring, or another suitable spring. The use of low-profile fasteners with springs to fasten a heat transfer device to a mainboard may allow for designs with a smaller mainboard area, which can leave room for a larger thermal management solution (which can increase cooling capacity) and allow for a greater thermal design power for the system.

  • Patent number: 11526544
    Abstract: A multidimensional system for generating a multimedia search engine is provided. A computer device identifies a plurality of independently separable aspects of a multimedia file. The computing device provides at least one independently separable aspect of the plurality of independently separable aspects as input into an object detection model. The computing device receives, from the object detection model, an identification of at least one object and a corresponding level of confidence that the object is present in the multimedia file. The computing device classifies the object as either confident or not confident, based on whether the level of confidence meets a threshold level of confidence. The computing device generates a multimedia search engine based, at least in part, on the object and the classification.
