Abstract: Components in an integrated circuit component assembly located in a liquid immersion cooling environment are physically isolated from the immersion fluid. This physical isolation can be provided by seals between, for example, a heat sink attached to the integrated circuit components and an enclosure in which the integrated circuit components are located, a printed circuit board to which the integrated circuit components are attached and an integrated circuit component enclosure, a bolster plate and a heat sink, a ring that encompasses the integrated circuit components and a heat sink, and a ring and an integrated heat spreader that is part of an integrated circuit component. Alternatively, a conformal coating compatible with an immersion fluid can be applied to assembly components to act as a chemical reaction and physical barrier between the immersion fluid and integrated circuit component.

Abstract: A cooling system includes a cooling fluid bypass to direct cooling fluid around a processor device to a memory module shadowed by the processor device from the cooling fluid flow. The fluid bypass allows the system to direct cooling fluid to the shadowed memory module that has not been used to cool the processor. There are various configurations, allowing the bypassing of different amounts of cooling fluid, allowing system designers to balance a tradeoff between processor heat and memory module heat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable, handheld strength training device. The handheld unit comprises a handle, a load sensor, a vibratory feedback mechanism, and an attachment point for selective connection to a stationary anchor point. The load sensor is connected to a microcontroller, which through a connected transceiver communicates load force measurement data to a mobile software application running on a separate device, typically a smartphone. The handle is adjustable to accommodate a variety of hand sizes and grip positions. User-applied load force is measured in real-time, and the vibrations provides haptic feedback and start and stop signals to the user. The software receives the data and provides additional real-time feedback during strength training exercises, and records and saves performance data from the completed exercises. The handheld device is small and lightweight, making it easy to use anywhere the user wants to train.

Abstract: A tilt-up door having vertical side members each having a pivot point, the pivot points move upward or downward when an actuator is activated to move the door between open and closed positions. First and second cams connected to the vertical side members at a lower end of the cams, each of said cams extend from the lower end thereof upwardly and arcuately toward an interior of a building to a distal terminal end thereof, each of the ends contacts a cam follower. The cam followers slide along the first and second cams and guide the first and second cams and the door as the door moves between the open and closed positions.

Abstract: A pressurized air delivery system for assisting grain crop harvesting. The system includes a left hand side manifold and a right hand side manifold adapted for being mounted to a harvester header. Each manifold is connected to a plurality of nozzles disposed along the respective manifold. Each manifold is adapted for receiving a pressurized air flow at a first end thereof and for providing the pressurized air flow to the nozzles. Each manifold is closed at a second opposite end thereof. The left hand side manifold and the right hand side manifold span approximately from a left hand side of the harvester header to a right hand side of the harvester header. An air flow source provides the pressurized air flow. An air conduit is connected to: the air flow source; the first end of the left hand side manifold; and the first end of the right hand side manifold.

Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for computer assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD). An apparatus for CA/AD may include a sensor interface, a communication interface, and a driving strategy unit. The sensor interface may receive sensor data indicative of friction between a road surface of a current location of a CA/AD vehicle and one or more surfaces of one or more tires of the CA/AD vehicle. The communication interface may receive, from an external road surface condition data source, data indicative of friction for a surface of a road section ahead of the current location of the CA/AD vehicle. The driving strategy unit may determine, based at least in part on the sensor data and the data received from the external road surface condition data source, a driving strategy for the CA/AD vehicle beyond the current location of the CA/AD vehicle. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods directed to carbonation of a cement mix during mixing. The carbonation may be controlled by one or more feedback mechanisms to adjust carbon dioxide delivery based on one or more characteristics of the mix or other aspects of the mixing operation.

Abstract: A thermal management solution in a mobile computing system is bonded to an integrated circuit component by a thermal interface material layer (TIM layer) that does not require the application of a permanent force to ensure a reliable thermally conductive connection. A leaf spring or other loading mechanism that can apply a permanent force to a TIM layer can be secured to a printed circuit board by fasteners that extend through holes in the board in the vicinity of the integrated circuit component. These holes consume area that could otherwise be used for signal routing. In devices that use a TIM layer that does not require the application of a permanent force, the thermal management solution can be attached to a printed circuit board or chassis at a location remote to the integrated circuit component, where the attachment mechanism does not or minimally interferes with integrated circuit component signal routing.

Abstract: Dynamically modifiable air movers can be modified during operation of a computing system to allow the performance of the fan (air flow, air flow split between exhausts) to be adjusted based on a workload being performed by the system. The physical modifications that an air mover can undergo are physical in nature and include adjusting the placement of one or more cutwaters, expanding or contracting an expandable portion of the fan housing, covering or uncovering an exhaust to provide or remove cooling to memory components, and moving a slidable strip to extend or withdraw from an exhaust. Causing one or more of these physical modifications to be made can be performed in response to the system determining that a temperature, rate of temperature change, power consumption level, rate of power consumption level change of the system or system components exceeds or has dropped below a threshold level.
