  • Publication number: 20240313047
    Abstract: A semiconductor device structure includes first nanostructures and second nanostructures formed over a substrate. The structure also includes gate structures that are wrapped around the first nanostructures and the second nanostructures and that extend along a first direction. The structure also includes a dielectric structure formed between two of the gate structures and parallel to the gate structures.

  • Publication number: 20220206548
    Abstract: An example non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions to determine whether a cooling fan is controlled by pulse wave modulation (PWM) or is voltage-controlled. When executed, the instructions cause a processor of a computing device to transmit first and second PWM test signals at different PWM duties to a fan connector connected to the cooling fan, receive a first and second fan speed signals in response, and determine, when the first fan speed signal is not equal to the second fan speed signal, that the cooling fan is a PWM-controlled fan. The instructions further cause the processor to transmit first and second voltage test signals at different voltages to the fan connector, receive a third fan and fourth speed signal in response, and determine, when the third fan speed signal is not equal to the fourth fan speed signal, that the cooling fan is a voltage-controlled fan.

  • Patent number: 10001140
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a fan cover with a plurality of openings. For example, a device may include a fan cover to a fan device and a heat conduction device, a portion of the heat conduction device being coupled to an inside surface of the fan cover. The fan cover provides airflow for heat dissipation in a computing device and surrounds at least a portion of the fan device. The fan device has a first side associated with an axis about which an impeller of the fan device is capable of rotating and a second side associated with blade edges of the impeller of the fan device. The fan cover includes a flat portion to surround the first side and a curved portion to surround the second side, the curved portion having a plurality of openings such that airflow produced by the fan device is capable of passing through.
