  • Publication number: 20250022765
    Abstract: Systems and methods for top side cooling for a power amplifier module are disclosed. The power amplifier module may be part of a system in a package that may be considered inverted relative to a normal orientation. A power amplifier die (and other elements) may be mounted on a metallization layer. Wire bond connections may communicatively couple the “top” of the power amplifier die to the metallization layer. A plated heat sink (PHS) laminate may be positioned “beneath” the power amplifier die in the metallization layer. The metallization layer may communicatively couple to vias that extend “up” and “above” the power amplifier die to a connection pad. The entire package is then inverted such that the connection pads may couple to a printed circuit board in a downward direction, and the PHS is now facing upward so that it may be coupled to a heat sink.

  • Patent number: 12196052
    Abstract: A wellbore assembly includes a pipe body and a chamber. The pipe body resides at a terranean surface of a wellbore and is fluidly coupled to a surface inlet of the wellbore. The chamber is coupled to the pipe body and has multiple slots each configured to house a wellbore component. Each slot revolves about a central axis of the chamber to align its respective wellbore component with a bore of the pipe body. The pipe body has a fluid inlet fluidly coupled to a pump that flows fluid to the pipe body. The fluid inlet is disposed upstream of the chamber. The pipe body directs the fluid from the fluid inlet to the inlet of the wellbore to push, from a first slot, a first wellbore component that is to be deployed downhole within the wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20240264631
    Abstract: A docking board removably coupled to a processor board that does not function when not operatively coupled to the docking board. The docking board sends power to and receive a control signal from the processor board when operatively coupled to the processor board and does not send power and does not receive a control signal when not operatively coupled to the processor board. The docking board is removably coupled to an expansion board that performs a computer function that is not performed by the processor board and the docking board. The docking board sends power and a control signal to the expansion board when the docking board is operatively coupled to the processor board and the expansion board, and does not send power and does not send a control signal to the expansion board when the docking board is not operatively coupled to the processor board and the expansion board.

  • Patent number: 12056245
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a host board that has multiple connectors. Each connector from the multiple connectors removably connects to a unique compute device from multiple compute devices. The apparatus can further include a memory that stores a first firmware. The apparatus can further include a controller that is operatively coupled to the multiple connectors and the memory. The controller provides access to the first firmware by a compute device from the multiple compute devices when the compute device removably connects to the host board via a connector from the multiple connectors and when a circuit of the compute device disables access to the memory of the compute device to cause the compute device to continue a power-on cycle using the first firmware.

  • Publication number: 20240242447
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device may determine a virtual content to be displayed with a scene of a real-world environment. The device may generate an image depicting the virtual content. Using one or more sensors, the device may detect characteristics of the scene of the real-world environment. Based on the image and the characteristics of the scene, the device may determine that a visual enhancement is to be applied to the virtual content depicted in the image to enhance a contrast between the depicted virtual content and the scene. The device may generate a visually-enhanced image depicting the virtual content by applying the visual enhancement to the virtual content depicted in the image. The device may display the visually-enhanced image of the virtual content on a display of the computing device, wherein the scene of the real-world environment is visible through the display.

  • Patent number: 12038877
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to sharing namespaces across file system clusters. A file in a spoke file system may be determined based on a command provided to the spoke file system such that the file may be associated with an inode mask. Data blocks associated with the file may be determined based on the command and the inode mask such that the data blocks may be absent from the spoke file system. Requests for leases may be generated based on the absent data blocks such that each lease request corresponds to a portion of the absent data blocks Employing the leases provided by a hub file system to: copy the absent data blocks from the hub file system where each portion of absent data blocks may be associated with a lease; updating the inode mask to include the leases and each copied portion of absent blocks.
