Publication number: 20210193558Abstract: Techniques for processor loading mechanisms are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a heat sink is in contact with a top surface of a processor, applying a downward force on the processor. A load plate is also in contact with the processor, applying a downward force to the processor as well. The combination of the downward force from the load plate and the heat sink keep the processor in good physical contact with pins of the processor socket. The heat sink has enough force applied to the processor to be in good thermal contact with the processor without applying higher stress to the heat sink. The load plate can apply force to the processor without regard to the thermal characteristics of the load plate. Other embodiments are envisioned and described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2021Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Ralph V. Miele, Phil Geng, Mengqi Liu, David Shia, Sandeep Ahuja, Eric W. Buddrius, Jeffory L. Smalley

Patent number: 10600138Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods of monitoring the utilization of protective equipment by individuals requesting access to a restricted area that requires the use of specific protective equipment, are provided. A protective equipment checker, which includes a proximity sensor, a three-dimensional (3D) camera, and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, performs a full body scan on the individual to determine if the location-specific protective equipment is being worn, or is in the possession of the individual. If a determination is made that the proper protective equipment is being worn, the individual is granted access to the location. If, one the other hand, the required protective equipment is not being worn, entry to the location is denied.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Elizabeth Stortstrom, Andrew Larson, Mark E.
