  • Publication number: 20260143637
    Abstract: A flexible customized 3D heat pipe, its preparation method, and application are provided. The customized 3D heat pipe partially contacts a control chip to absorb heat generated by the control chip. The remaining part of the customized 3D heat pipe can be laid along any three-dimensional path within an electronic device as needed. The heat accumulated by the control chip is then transferred to any spatial region within the electronic device where the customized 3D heat pipe is laid. This maximizes the heat dissipation area of the heat pipe without affecting the volume of the electronic device or the installation space of other components. Compared to traditional 2D flat heat pipes, it enables more efficient thermal management for electronic devices.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide methods for classifying a detected touch input on a capacitive interface. A sequence of capacitive images representing capacitive sensor data associated with touch inputs detected during a continuous touch gesture is obtained. The capacitive images are sequentially processed using a machine learning model. A touch region of the capacitive image that corresponds to an area of the capacitive interface associated with a current touch input for the capacitive image is identified. A set of features of the identified touch region is extracted using the machine learning model. A state of touch of the capacitive image is determined based on the extracted set of features and one or more previous capacitive images associated with previously detected touch inputs during the continuous touch gesture.
