  • Patent number: 11762372
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for a systems and methods for improved LIDAR return light capture efficiency. One example method may include comparing, by a controller including a processor and at a first time, a first temperature of a first computing element to a first threshold temperature and a second temperature of a second computing element to a second threshold temperature. The example method may also include sending, based on a determination that the first temperature is below the first threshold temperature and the second temperature is above the second threshold temperature, a first signal to a switch to activate a data output corresponding to the second computing element. The example method may also include sending, to the second computing element, a second signal to cause a third computing element to increase heat dissipation from the third computing element to the first computing element.
