Abstract:
A non-metallic vapor chamber includes a composite wick structure that fills a non-metallic housing. The composite wick structure provides mechanical strength and structural rigidity to the non-metallic vapor chamber. The composite wick structure includes a first hydrophilic wick portion and a second hydrophobic wick portion. A condensed working fluid flows through the first hydrophilic wick portion from a condensation region to a region proximate one or more thermal energy producing devices. A vaporized working fluid flows through the second hydrophobic wick portion from the region proximate one or more thermal energy producing devices to a condensation region where the vaporized working fluid is condensed for reuse.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to instruct movement based on sensor data. An example apparatus includes a sensor data receiver to receive sensor data from a sensor device, a preference receiver to receive a user preference, and a preference analyzer to: in response to determining that the sensor data indicates that the user preference is not met at a first location, determine if a second location has a condition that meets the user preference, and in response to determining that the second location has the condition that meets the user preference, transmitting a notification to instruct movement to the second location.
Abstract:
In one example a electronic device comprises a housing, at least one heat generating component disposed within the housing, at least one internal heat dissipation device positioned proximate the at least one heat generating component, and a thermal interface defined in at least a portion of the housing to allow direct thermal contact between the heat dissipation device and an external heat dissipation device. Other examples may be described.
Abstract:
In one example an electronic device comprises a controller, a chassis comprising a first section and a second section, and a hinge assembly to connect the first section of the chassis to the second section of the chassis comprising a shaft rotatable about a first axis, a brake selectively engageable with a portion of the shaft, and an electroactive polymer (EAP) actuator coupled to the brake, wherein the EAP actuator selectively engages the brake with a portion of the shaft in response to a signal from the controller. Other examples may be described.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to operation of a computing device powered with first and second sets of energy storage cells, the cells of the first set structurally optimized for higher density storage of electric power, and the cells of the second set structurally optimized for providing electric power at a high electric current level. A battery module includes a casing, a first cell disposed within the casing to store electric energy with a high density, and a second cell disposed within the casing to provide electric energy stored therein with a high current level. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.
