  • Publication number: 20240288928
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that improve sleep state demotion with a hardware power monitor. An example apparatus includes memory, and processor circuitry to perform at least one of the operations to instantiate: detector circuitry to detect power output data of the computing device via a hardware power monitor, power analyzer circuitry to determine the power output data for sleep states of the computing device based on multiple wake intervals, identifier circuitry to identify crossover thresholds at ones of the multiple wake intervals, and controller circuitry to limit the computing device to the crossover thresholds at ones of the multiple wake intervals.

  • Publication number: 20240189817
    Abstract: A fluidic device holder configured to orient a fluidic device. The device holder includes a support structure configured to receive a fluidic device. The support structure includes a base surface that faces in a direction along the Z-axis and is configured to have the fluidic device positioned thereon. The device holder also includes a plurality of reference surfaces facing in respective directions along an XY-plane. The device holder also includes an alignment assembly having an actuator and a movable locator arm that is operatively coupled to the actuator. The locator arm has an engagement end. The actuator moves the locator arm between retracted and biased positions to move the engagement end away from and toward the reference surfaces. The locator arm is configured to hold the fluidic device against the reference surfaces when the locator arm is in the biased position.

  • Patent number: 11429172
    Abstract: A power supply architecture combines the benefits of a traditional single stage power delivery, when there are no additional power losses in the integrated VR with low VID and low CPU losses of FIVR (fully integrated voltage regulator) and D-LVR (digital linear voltage regulator). The D-LVR is not in series with the main power flow, but in parallel. By placing the digital-LVR in parallel to a primary VR (e.g., motherboard VR), the CPU VID is lowered and the processor core power consumption is lowered. The power supply architecture reduces the guard band for input power supply level, thereby reducing the overall power consumption because the motherboard VR specifications can be relaxed, saving cost and power. The power supply architecture drastically increases the CPU performance at a small extra cost for the silicon and low complexity of tuning.
