  • Publication number: 20260032871
    Abstract: This application is directed to heat dissipation for interconnect transceivers applied in a server system. A server rack includes a rack structure for supporting one or more rack servers and a switch box mechanically mounted on the rack structure. The switch box is configured to receive detachable optical interconnects, and includes a transceiver module and a cooling structure coupled to the transceiver module. The transceiver module is configured to convert incoming signals to outgoing signals and generate heat while converting the incoming signals. The cooling structure is configured to inject a coolant via an inlet and output the coolant via an outlet, thereby allowing the coolant to at least partially carry away the heat generated by the transceiver module. In some embodiments, the cooling structure includes a metallic plate, which comes into contact with the transceiver module via a contact surface for absorbing the heat generated by the transceiver module.

  • Publication number: 20260002796
    Abstract: The disclosure pertains to a deflectable micro-mechanical system with integrated piezoresistive deflection sensor, the system comprising, a deflectable element; a first anchor element and a second anchor element, a first spring having a deformable region and coupling the deflectable element to the first anchor element and a second spring that having a deformable region and coupling the deflectable element to the second anchor element. When the relative position of the deflectable element to the anchor element changes, the deformable region of the first spring and the deformable region on the second spring deform. At least one of the first spring and second spring are piezoresistive and the piezo-resistance of the piezoresistive springs changes when the deformable region of the first spring and the deformable region of the second spring deforms. A first contact and a second contact are located on the first anchor element and second anchor element, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240095109
    Abstract: Example computer-implemented methods, media, and systems for serving machine learning (ML) models using an asynchronous input/output (I/O) mechanism are disclosed. One example method includes receiving a first request for running a ML model to provide a first prediction. A first green thread is generated responsive to the first request and executed on an operating system (OS) thread to send a first asynchronous remote procedure call (RPC) to a multiple producer single consumer (MPSC) channel. A second request for running the ML model to provide a second prediction is received. A second green thread is generated responsive to the second request and executed on the OS thread to send a second RPC to the MPSC channel. The first and the second asynchronous RPCs are scheduled using a first and a second blocking threads respectively, which are used by the ML model to generate the first prediction and the second prediction.

  • Patent number: 10817928
    Abstract: Described herein are technologies pertaining to presenting a map to a user that comprises graphical icons that are representative of retail stores. The user has provided a shopping list, wherein the shopping list includes a plurality of products that are desirably purchased by the user. Inventories of retail stores in a geographic region of interest to the user are searched, and a map is generated that includes graphical icons representative of the retail stores, data that indicates that product(s) in the shopping list are available at the retail stores, and price data that indicates prices of product(s) in the shopping list at the respective retail stores.

  • Patent number: 10782747
    Abstract: A solid state drive (SSD) storage bay includes storage trays and connector cards. A storage tray has a an interposer and an SSD module. A connector of the interposer is connected to a connector of the SSD module, and another connector of the interposer is connected to a connector of a connector card. The connector card includes terminals that connect to a bus of a computer system. The interposer includes wirings that allow electrical signals to propagate between the two connectors of the interposer. The interposer includes circuitry that allow for voltage regulation of supply voltage, level shifting, and hot-swapping.
