Abstract: Devices, apparatuses, and systems for thermal management in networking and computing systems are provided. An example in-rack thermal management system includes a cooling distribution unit (CDU) that includes a housing that defines a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, thermal management components supported by the housing, and direct mechanical connections coupled with the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The in-rack thermal management system includes a fluid distribution system that includes a primary fluid channel directly coupled with the direct mechanical connection of the fluid inlet, and a secondary fluid channel directly coupled with the direct mechanical connection of the fluid outlet. In operation, the thermal management components dissipate heat of a fluid received by the CDU via the fluid inlet.

Abstract: The application includes systems and methods for phenotyping. A request is received to identify a target population having a phenotype. Predefined characteristics associated with the phenotype are obtained. Using a retriever model, a set of subjects is identified as potential members of the target population by searching databases. Medical information is obtained by searching a second set of one or more databases and providing corresponding information to an artificial intelligence (AI) component. Natural language instructions are provided to the AI component to provide context to the AI component to determine whether a respective subject in the set of subjects has at least one of the one or more predefined characteristics. A subset of subjects is identified by the AI system to be, or to have a high likelihood of being, a member of the target population.
