  • Patent number: 11966268
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for thermal management of electronic user devices are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes at least one of a user presence detection analyzer to identify a presence of a user relative to an electronic device based on first sensor data generated by a first sensor or at least one of an image data analyzer or a motion data analyzer to determine a gesture of the user relative to the device based on second sensor data generated by a second sensor; a thermal constraint selector to select a thermal constraint for a temperature of an exterior surface of the electronic device based on one or more of the presence of the user or the gesture; and a power source manager to adjust a power level for a processor of the electronic device based on the thermal constraint.

  • Publication number: 20240125700
    Abstract: A system for identification of a biological structure present in a liquid biopsy sample is provided. The system identifies common biological structures and rare biological structures based on their fluorescence characteristics and morphology. The identified biological structures may be used in diagnosis and treatment of a human afflicted with a disease. Examples described in this disclosure also relate to methods and assays that may be used together with the systems of this disclosure for diagnosis and treatment of a human afflicted with a disease.

  • Publication number: 20240084654
    Abstract: An environmental-efficiency fluid is designed by a system and/or method. The fluid can be for use in a down-hole operation in a well. The design produces the environmental-efficiency fluid from a treatment fluid and drill cuttings. For example, the system and method can include creating an analysis of a rheological model generated from a set of wellbore conditions and a set of drill-cutting properties to determine a set of rheological properties for the treatment fluid and a concentration of drill cuttings, which allow for use of the drill cuttings with the treatment fluid; and producing the environmental-efficiency fluid based on the rheological properties and the concentration of drill cuttings.

  • Publication number: 20230221780
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computer circuit card cage system configured to house one or more computer circuit cards. The computer circuit card cage system can comprise a housing comprising one or more walls having one or more apertures formed therein. The computer circuit card cage system can further comprise one or more support rails supported on one or more of the walls and configured to support a computer circuit card. The one or more support rails can have one or more apertures formed therein to facilitate flow of a fluid through the one or more support rails. The flow path of the fluid is through the one or more apertures in the walls of the housing, and the one or more apertures in the support rails.

  • Patent number: 10900565
    Abstract: A transmission includes a housing, a park gear, and a vehicle park shifting system configured to selectively engage the park gear to shift the transmission into and out of a park position. The vehicle park shifting system includes a linkage operably associated with the park gear, an actuator assembly operably coupled to the linkage and configured to be actuated to selectively move the linkage into and out of engagement with the park gear, and a lost motion manual shifter assembly operably coupled to the linkage and including a shift shaft disposed at least partially within the housing. The shift shaft is configured to couple to a manual park release system utilized to manually shift the transmission into and out of park without utilizing the actuator assembly. Actuation of the actuator assembly does not impart rotational movement to the shift shaft.

  • Patent number: 9651699
    Abstract: A method for characterizing subsurface formations penetrated by a wellbore includes accepting as input to a computer measurements of a physical parameter of the formations made over a selected axial interval of the wellbore. At least one attribute of the measurements is determined from a change in the measurements over the selected axial interval. At least one characteristic of the formations in the selected axial interval using the at least one attribute.
