Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for controlling the switching frequency of a switching device of a power converter. Measured or computed parameters are obtained. One or more of the parameters are real-time measurements from one or more sensors. A controller selects one of the parameters as a target parameter. The target parameter is represented as an objective function that defines criteria for optimizing the objective function as minimizing, maximizing, or obtaining a particular value for the target parameter. The controller implements a machine learning algorithm to determine a selected switching frequency of the switching device that optimizes the objective function, and controls the switching device to operate at the selected switching frequency.

Abstract: Thermal interface system, and method thereof, are configured to constrain or limit an amount of compression applied to a thermal interface during insertion of an electronic device into a cage, rack, chassis, or other mounting assembly. The thermal interface system and method provide a thermal interface that is embedded within a pocket or cavity formed either on a surface of the device, a surface of the mounting assembly, or both. The thermal interface may be made of any suitable thermally conductive interface material that is resilient or has elastic properties. The pocket or cavity provides a seating for the thermal interface and operates to limit the compression or clamping force directed through the thermal interface. Such an arrangement helps prevent the full compression or clamping force used to secure the electronic device from being applied to the thermal interface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealing and filling a well which may form a part of a well abandoning operation. A tube containing well filler material is connected to a bridge plug by a connector so that the bridge plug can be positioned by moving the tube and then anchored. Once the bridge plug is anchored, the tube is disconnected and the well filler can be discharged into the well above the anchored bridge plug. In this way, the bridge plug anchoring and the filling of at least a portion of the well can be performed in a single run.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealing and filling at least a portion of a well is disclosed. This may form a part of a well abandoning operation. In particular, according to the present disclosure, a tube containing well filler material is connected to a bridge plug by a tube-plug connector wherein the bridge plug can be positioned by moving the tube and then anchored. Once the bridge plug is anchored, the tube is disconnected and the well filler may be discharged into the well above the anchored bridge plug. In this way, the bridge plug anchoring and the filling of at least a portion of the well can be performed in a single run.
