  • Publication number: 20250142778
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are relate to heat transfer devices or heat exchangers for computing systems, and in particular, to heat pipes for improved thermal performance at a cold plate interface. A thermal exchange assembly includes a heat pipe (HP) directly coupled to a cold plate. The HP includes a window, which is a recessed or depressed portion of the HP. The window is attached to the cold plate at a window section of the cold plate. The cold plate is configured to be placed on a semiconductor device that generates heat during operation. The cold plate transfers the heat to the HP with less thermal resistance than existing HP solutions. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20250058172
    Abstract: A respirator muscle training device comprises a main unit including at least one adjustable air metering vent, the main unit comprising a stem configured to accept a replaceable mouthpiece; and a replaceable mouthpiece configured to mate with the stem, the replaceable mouthpiece being configured to deliver air flow between the main unit air metering vent and a patient's mouth. The mouthpiece defines at least one supplementary metering channel that predictably modifies a resistance of the respirator muscle training device to user inhalation and/or exhalation through the device. An intermediate component containing sensors and other electronics monitors the flow of air through the training device and provides measured parameters to an external device that can use the measurements in a breathing game.

  • Patent number: 11611346
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for regulating a temperature of a resonator structure. In an embodiment, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is thermally coupled to a resonator which is proximate thereto. The resonator supports operation with an oscillator circuit, wherein a resonance characteristic of the resonator contributes to oscillations of a master clock signal, or other oscillatory signal, which is provided with the oscillator circuit. The TEC provides Peltier functionality to selectively perform either one of heating or cooling the resonator. In another embodiment, the TEC is configured to conduct heat which is transferred via a path between the TEC and the resonator, wherein the path omits any circuitry which is to perform operations which are synchronized based on the oscillatory signal.

  • Patent number: 11573055
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a vapor chamber and means of attachment for the vapor chamber. The vapor chamber can include one or more columns, where at least a portion of the columns include fiber braids and one or more wicks. At least one of the wicks can also include the fiber braids. The columns can be braised to a top plate or a bottom plate of the vapor chamber. The vapor chamber can be secured over a heat source using a vapor chamber securing means that can include spring arms. The spring arms can bend, flex, rotate, etc. to absorb some of the force when vapor chamber is secured over the heat source.
