Abstract: Direct pin-fin cooling assemblies are disclosed for a high-power printed circuit boards (PCBs). The disclosure can solve the classical coldplate problem associated with liquid cooling of high-power PCBs namely: (1) Inhomogeneous cooling due to the calorimetric heating up of the coolant, (2) thermal interface material (TIM) related quality issues such as dry-out effects, (3) high cost due to complicated metal coldplate structure, and (4) low thermal conductivity due to multi-layer structure. This includes incorporating pin-fin direct cooling into high-power PCB structures without additional coldplate structure or TIM. In this approach, a TIM and a top plate of coldplate can be removed. Thus, the cooling performance can be improved because the thermal conductivity between a liquid coolant and a power device is increased.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating contextually relevant transcripts of voice recordings based on social networking data. For instance, the disclosed systems receive a voice recording from a user corresponding to a message thread including the user and one or more co-users. The disclosed systems analyze acoustic features of the voice recording to generate transcription-text probabilities. The disclosed systems generate term weights for terms corresponding to objects associated with the user within a social networking system by analyzing user social networking data. Using the contextually aware term weights, the disclosed systems adjust the transcription-text probabilities. Based on the adjusted transcription-text probabilities, the disclosed systems generate a transcript of the voice recording for display within the message thread.

Abstract: A locking system of a wheelchair is disclosed. The locking system includes a locking member, an actuator, a locking frame, and an opening. The opening is disposed within the locking frame. The actuator is in communication with the locking member and is configured to move the locking member within the opening. The actuator is operable in a retracted operation state and an extended operation state. The actuator is configured to move the locking member in an upward direction when the locking system is set from the extended operation state to the retracted operation state. The actuator is configured to move the locking member in a downward direction when the locking system is set from the retracted operation state to the extended operation state, and the locking member is naturally biased in the extended operation state.
