Abstract: A thermal management scheme, for a multichip module, that is aware of various dies in a stack (horizontal and/or vertical) and heat generated from them, local hot spots in a victim die, and hot spots in aggressor die(s). Each victim die receives telemetry information from thermal sensors located in aggressor dies as well as local thermal sensors in the victim die. The telemetry information is used to enable a virtual sensing scheme where temperature for a target die (e.g., a victim die) and/or its intellectual property (IP) domain is estimated or calculated. The estimated or calculated temperature is then used for performance management of the victim and/or aggressor dies in the stack.

Abstract: A mobile device may include circuitry, a thermally-conductive panel in thermal communication with the circuitry, and a housing with a user-operable thermal access cover that has a closed position to cover the thermally-conductive panel and an open position to expose the thermally-conductive panel. Embodiments may include a dock with which the mobile device may be engaged, wherein the dock may include a thermal transfer device to engage the thermally-conductive panel of the mobile device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cooling and capturing energy in an electronic device using photovoltaic cells is disclosed. A power supply powers electronic components inside the electronic device. The electronic components produce heat and infrared energy. The photovoltaic cells convert the infrared energy into an electric current to reduce the overall heat level of the electronic device. A power recovery circuit conditions the electric current into a conditioned power signal usable by a system power path manager of the electronic device. The system power path manager uses the converted infrared energy to power the electronic device and/or to charge an energy storage unit.

Abstract: In one implementation, an electronic device includes a first body portion, a second body portion movably coupled to the first body portion, a heat source, and a thermal conductor in thermal communication with the heat source. The heat source is disposed within one of the first body portion or the second body portion. The thermal conductor has a first end portion, a second end portion, and a flexible portion between the first end portion and the second end portion. The first end portion of the thermal conductor is disposed within the first body portion. The second end portion of the thermal conductor is disposed within the second body portion.

Abstract: A nestable pallet includes a deck from which a plurality of feet extend downwardly. Each foot has a corresponding opening through the deck leading into an interior of the foot so that the feet of a similar pallet stacked thereon can be received therein, thereby reducing stacking height when empty. An exterior wall of the foot is shared with a peripheral wall of the pallet, such that the exterior wall of the foot has an inner surface defining the interior of the foot and an outer surface, which is the outer most surface of the pallet.

Abstract: A bulk container has a liquid barrier lip portion formed in an upper rim portion of the container side walls. The liquid barrier lip portion extends about the entire periphery of the container and provides a pooling region to prevent liquid condensate on the outside wall surfaces from coursing along the side walls and mixing with the container contents when the container is raised and tilted during unloading by a lifting and rotating mechanism.

Abstract: The disclosed device is directed towards a mixer apparatus comprising a barrel defining an interior and an exterior. The barrel has a first end and a second end opposite thereof. The barrel defines at least one inlet proximate to the first end and an outlet proximate to the second end. A motor unit is in operative communication with the barrel. A moving element is disposed in the interior of the barrel. The moving element is configured to move material through the barrel to the outlet of the barrel. At least one first mixing element is fluidly coupled to the outlet.
