  • Patent number: 12628648
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a flip chip die communicatively coupled to a substrate. A lid is also coupled to the substrate and covers the flip chip die. A non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant fills a volume defined by the lid and is used to dissipate heat that is generated by the flip chip die. The non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant may include nanometer-sized particles that enhance the heat dissipation properties of the non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant. The semiconductor package also may include a micro-rotator that causes the non-curing thermal conductive liquid coolant to circulate within the volume when a temperature of the flip chip die exceeds a temperature threshold.

  • Patent number: 12614077
    Abstract: An electronic device may obtain a query from a user input; obtain a sequence of frames of one or more input videos; select frames from the sequence of frames of the one or more input videos, via a sampler neural network configured to extract features from the sequence of frames that are input to the sampler neural network, determine temporal dependencies between the extracted features, and determine an action of selecting or skipping for each of the sequence of frames; and identify a video that matches the query via a multimodal neural network configured to receive the selected frames and the query, and output the video that matches the query, among the one or more input videos, wherein the sampler neural network and the multimodal neural network are jointly trained based on an aggregated loss that combines an accuracy loss that represents an accuracy of determining the video that matches the query, and an efficiency loss that reflects a proportion of frames being passed to the multimodal neural network.

  • Publication number: 20260048359
    Abstract: A separation method and a separation apparatus for CO2-containing phase change solution are provided. Bubbles are used to disturb CO2-containing phase change solution in order to obtain at least two separated liquid phases. The bubbles and the CO2-containing phase change solution form a non-uniform multiphase system. During the process of bubble uplift, the bubbles combine with the less dense solution system and move upward together to accelerate the separation of different density solution system. At the same time, the thrust effect generated by the bubble generator can promote the form of eddy current in the phase separator, which further accelerates the separation of different density solution system and improves the separation efficiency of the phase change solution.

  • Patent number: 12555955
    Abstract: A snap fit bracket for an electrolytic capacitor is vertically mounted within an opening defined by a substrate. The bracket includes four sidewalls that form a perimeter. A first flange extends from one sidewall and forms a first ledge that sits on a top surface of the substrate when the bracket is mounted within the opening defined by the substrate. A second flange extends from another sidewall and forms a second ledge that sits on the top surface of the substrate when the bracket is mounted within the opening defined by the substrate. A fastener extends from two or more of the sidewalls. A top surface of each fastener contacts a bottom surface of the substrate when the bracket is mounted within the opening defined by the substrate. After vertically mounting the bracket within the substrate, the capacitor disposed within the bracket is horizontally mounted with respect to the PCB.

  • Patent number: 12539605
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using simulated local demonstration data for robotic demonstration learning. One of the methods includes receiving perceptual data of a workcell of a robot to be configured to execute a task according to a skill template, wherein the skill template specifies one or more subtasks required to perform the skill, wherein at least one of the subtasks is a demonstration subtask that relies on learning visual characteristics of the workcell. A virtual model is generated of a portion of the workcell. A training system generates simulated local demonstration data from the virtual model of the portion of the workcell and tunes a base control policy for the demonstration subtask using the simulated local demonstration data generated from the virtual model of the portion of the workcell.

  • Publication number: 20250275057
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a step-down PCB. The step-down PCB includes a first portion having a first height a second portion having a second height that is less than the first height. The step-down PCB can be a single, unitary structure or have different PCB portions. When the step-down PCB has different PCB portions, a flexible connector mechanically and electrically couples the PCB portions together. Due to the reduced thickness of the second portion, additional semiconductor dies can be added to a stack of semiconductor dies, thereby increasing the capabilities of the semiconductor package. Additionally, the first portion includes contacts for a connector. The connector is used to communicatively couple the semiconductor package to an associated connector slot of a host device.
