  • Publication number: 20250169038
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein include systems and methods for cooling a device, such as a computing system for an autonomous vehicle. In one or more embodiments, a linear drive actuator may be employed to circulate cooling fluid (or coolant) to the computing system. Unlike typical hydraulic or linear actuators, embodiments herein are capable of consistent directional circulation of the fluid while the actuator is moving in both forward and backward directions. Using a linear actuator not only uses fewer parts as compared to current cooling systems, but such embodiments have additional benefits. A linear actuator cooling system can use a smaller motor than traditional pump cooling systems, has more control relative to rate and pressure, produces less noise, produces fewer vibrations, and has a longer lifespan. Embodiments may also be configured to facilitate circulation of the coolant even in the event of a controller or motor actuator malfunction.

  • Patent number: 10384127
    Abstract: An approach to facilitating consideration-based non-player character counseling is provided. A non-player character counsel may be controlled within a game space to provide counsel content to users in exchange for virtual consideration purchased with real world money. For example, responsive to reception of adequate virtual consideration from a first user, the non-player character counsel may be controlled to provide a first set of counsel content to the first user in the game space. The first set of counsel content may be a subset of the counsel content provided by the non-player character counsel to the users in the game space. The counsel content may include instructions for and/or demonstrations of activities to be performed by a first character under control of the first user in the game space.
