Abstract: Heterogeneous heat pipe solutions provide both low thermal resistance and a high Qmax. Some heterogeneous heat pipe solutions comprise multiple homogenous heat pipes operating in parallel, with each homogeneous heat pipe having its thermal performance tailored to handle a processor operating in a particular power mode. Other heterogeneous heat pipe solutions comprise one or more heterogeneous heat pipes, each heterogeneous heat pipe having more than wick, each wick having a different set of wick characteristics (wick material, wick thickness, etc.). Heterogeneous heat pipes can provide a thermal management solution for processors over their full operating power range.

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: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed for accessories for electronic devices and removable fan cartridges for electronic devices. An example electronic device accessory includes a backplate panel removably couplable to a first chassis of a first electronic device to replace a portion of a first cover of the first chassis and removably couplable to a second chassis of a second electronic device to replace a portion of a second cover of the second chassis. The example electronic device accessory also includes a mating device to releasably couple the backplate panel to the first chassis and independently releasably couple the backplate panel to the second chassis and a fan coupled to the backplate panel. The fan is to increase a Z height of the first electronic device when the backplate panel is coupled to the first electronic device and increase a Z height of the second electronic device when the backplate panel is coupled to the second electronic device.

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: 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.
