Abstract: An electronic device can include a wireless power transfer coil, an inverter having an input coupled to an input power source and an output coupled to the wireless power transfer coil, control circuitry that operates the inverter to deliver power from the input power source to a wireless power receiver coupled to the wireless power transfer coil, communication circuitry that allows communication with the wireless power receiver, and an auxiliary cooler and associated control circuitry that operates the auxiliary cooler, responsive to one or more temperature measurements, to transfer heat from the electronic device to an ambient environment.

Abstract: Methods or systems for cleaning an electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage unit is discussed. The methods or systems include a sensor monitoring a safety condition of the electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage unit; a controller receiving a reading related to the safety condition from the sensor; the controller performing a safety check based on the reading received from the sensor; and the controller instructing the cleaning unit to clean the electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage unit upon the controller determining the electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage unit is safe to clean based on the safety check.

Abstract: A cache may store critical cache lines and non-critical cache lines, and may attempt to retain critical cache lines in the cache by, for example, favoring the critical cache lines in replacement data updates. Multiple levels of criticality may be available for a given cache line and cache circuitry may adjust the criticality value of in response to a criticality event. One or more upper criticality levels may be masked when selecting a victim cache line for replacement.

Abstract: An electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage unit that includes a base including an enclosure, in which the base is configured to support the self-contained climate controlled storage unit, a climate controlled space affixed above the base, and a climate control system for providing climate control to the climate controlled space. The climate control system is provided in the enclosure. The storage unit further includes at least one status indication light provided around a perimeter of at least one surface of the self-contained climate controlled storage unit. The system controller is connected to the self-contained climate controlled storage unit, and is configured to operate the at least one status indication light based on at least one of a system operation status of the self-contained climate controlled storage unit or a logistical operation status of the self-contained climate controlled storage unit.

Abstract: An electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage unit is provided to connect to and automatically share power with an external power source. The storage unit includes a rechargeable battery system and a controller to determine whether to direct power flow to or from the rechargeable battery system. Methods and systems are provided for actively coordinating charging of multiple electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage units that are connected to the external power source.

Abstract: An electrically powered portable self-contained climate controlled storage unit that is self-weighing and/or measures its orientation. The storage unit includes a base including an enclosure and at least one foot for supporting the self-contained climate controlled storage unit, a climate controlled space affixed above the base, and a climate control system for providing climate control to the climate controlled space. The climate control system is provided in the enclosure. The storage unit further includes at least one sensor for measuring a weight and/or orientation associated with the self-contained climate controlled storage unit and a system controller connected to the self-contained climate controlled storage unit. The system controller is configured to determine an unsafe operating condition of the self-contained climate controlled storage unit based on the weight and/or orientation associated with the self-contained climate controlled storage unit measured by the sensor.

Abstract: A cache may store critical cache lines and non-critical cache lines, and may attempt to retain critical cache lines in the cache by, for example, favoring the critical cache lines in replacement data updates, retaining the critical cache lines with a certain probability when victim cache blocks are being selected, etc. Criticality values may be retained at various levels of the cache hierarchy. Additionally, accelerated eviction may be employed if the threads previously accessing the critical cache blocks are viewed as dead.

Abstract: The present embodiments provide additive systems for biomass gasification reactors. For example, in one embodiment, a biomass gasification system includes a feedstock preparation system configured to generate a biomass feedstock having a biomass fuel and a tar cracking additive. The system also includes a gasifier configured to receive the biomass feedstock and gasify the biomass fuel in the presence of the tar cracking additive to generate first and second mixtures. The first mixture has producer gas and the second mixture has the tar cracking additive and ash. The biomass gasification system further includes an additive recycle system configured to receive the second mixture and to separate at least a portion of the tar cracking additive from the ash to generate a recycled additive feed for the feedstock preparation system.
