Abstract: In example implementations, methods to optimize a BIOS of a computer and an apparatus to perform the same is provided. The method includes detecting a change to the computer. A current BIOS configuration is compared to an optimized BIOS setting associated with the change. A setting of the current BIOS configuration is configured to match a corresponding setting of the optimized BIOS configuration. The computer is then operated with the optimized BIOS configuration associated with the change.

Abstract: Examples of communication of clocking apparatuses with computing devices are described. In an example implementation, a docking device and a computing device communicate through a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port of a USB hub of the docking device in USB Alternate Mode based on USB protocol-based messages.

Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device can include a battery, a power adapter, a processing resource, and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to determine monitored user behavior data exceeds a predetermined threshold, and responsive to the predetermined threshold being exceeded, provide a notification including a recommended threshold charge level, where the recommended threshold charge level is a percentage of an overall possible charge percentage of the battery.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a communication interface and a controller. The controller may determine whether a data file includes a user's captured voice and may, based on a determination that the data file includes the user's captured voice, communicate the data file through the communication interface.

Abstract: In some examples, a system determines a resource load of the electronic device for dynamic thermal control. In response to the resource load exceeding a load threshold, the system activates active cooling in the electronic device based on activation of a fluid flow cooling subsystem to cool the electronic device, and after performing the active cooling, activates component-operation based cooling in response to a temperature in the electronic device exceeding a first temperature threshold.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor, a display system and a multifunction display port. The multifunction display port may include a display port connector and an input power connector. In addition, based on the apparatus being in a power off state and being connected to a host device, the display system may receive input electrical energy through the input power connector from a host device, receive display data through the display port connector from the host device, and display the display data received from the host device while bypassing the processor.

Abstract: Examples of methods for updating power delivery controllers are described herein. In some examples, a method may include updating a power delivery controller. In some examples, the power delivery controller may be updated using power delivery controller instructions from interface memory. In some examples, the power delivery controller may be updated in response to an apparatus shutdown.

Abstract: In one example, an apparatus is described, which may include a port to couple a docking station to the apparatus and an embedded controller. The embedded controller may receive a connection status of the docking station. Further, the embedded controller may provide a docking option corresponding to the docking station in a firmware setup menu based on the connection status. Furthermore, the embedded controller may receive a user input to control a peripheral device on the docking station via the docking option in the firmware setup menu. Then, the embedded controller may generate a command corresponding to the user input to control the peripheral device on the docking station.

Abstract: A method of preparing cyclohexanone by hydrogenating phenol is provided. The method includes a step of introducing an additional flammable gas to dilute hydrogen gas concentration, so as to increase the throughput and decrease energy consumption. Further, the discharged residual gases from the hydrogenation of phenol have a calorific value. Also provided is a system for generating cyclohexanone by hydrogenating phenol.

Abstract: A laser processing method discloses a laser processing method, which emits a laser light onto an incidence plane of a wafer to form a trench on the wafer. The ratio of a depth of the trench to the thickness of the wafer is smaller than or equal to about 1/5. Make the laser light process the plural times of the back and forth indenting in the trench on the wafer with a high speed, whereupon there is no residuum near the trench such that the brightness of a light emitting diode (LED) can be increased, and make the wafer easier to be broken into dies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved dumbbell structure, in which a clamping portion, used for mounting weights, is located on two ends of a hand grip of a dumbbell. A clamping hole, a press operation recess and a fixing hole are defined on each of the clamping portions, and a clamping column is located within each of the clamping holes. A press operation column is disposed within each of the press operation recesses. When force is applied to the press operation column, then the press operation column exerts force on the clamping column, and causes the clamping column to separate from the weight. Accordingly, a user is able to quickly change weights on the dumbbell.

Abstract: A bucket for use in a swinging bucket centrifuge. A core holder is located between two end chambers, with the annular space between the core holder and the bucket sidewall maintaining the chambers in fluid communication. Windows at each end of the bucket allow fluid collections to be monitored. This enables more accurate data to be obtained regarding the effect of fluids of different specific gravity on a fluid saturating a sample. For example, to obtain data allowing a more accurate modeling of reservoir conditions in an oil field impacted by both gas and water displacement, the amount of oil expelled from a rock sample by gas under pressure and temperature conditions simulating those in the reservoir is measured and, after replacing the gas with water, the amount of oil expelled by water under simulated conditions is measured.
