    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed to estimate temperature at one or more critical points in a data processing system comprising modeling a steady state temperature portion of a thermal model at the one or more critical points using regression analysis; modeling the transient temperature portion of the thermal model at the one or more critical points using a filtering algorithm; and generating a thermal model at the one or more critical points by combining the steady state temperature portion of the thermal model with the transient temperature portion of the thermal model. The thermal model may then be used to estimate an instantaneous temperature at the one or more critical points or to predict a future temperature at the one or more critical points.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for notifying context clients of changes to the current context of a computing device. In some implementations, a context client can register to be called back when the context daemon detects specified context. For example, the context client can specify a context in which the context client is interested. When the context daemon detects that the current context of the computing device corresponds to the registered context, the context daemon can notify the context client that the current context matches the context in which the context client is interested. Thus, context clients do not require the programming necessary to independently obtain context updates and detect changes in context that are relevant or of interest to the context client.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to monitor environmental, system and user events associated with the mobile device and/or a peer device. The occurrence of one or more events can trigger adjustments to system settings. The mobile device can be configured to keep frequently invoked applications up to date based on a forecast of predicted invocations by the user. In some implementations, the mobile device can receive push notifications associated with applications that indicate that new content is available for the applications to download. The mobile device can launch the applications associated with the push notifications in the background and download the new content. In some implementations, before running an application or communicating with a peer device, the mobile device can be configured to check energy and data budgets and environmental conditions of the mobile device and/or a peer device to ensure a high quality user experience.

    Abstract: Methods for thermal management of an integrated circuit are disclosed. In particular, a dual control loop, having a first control loop and a second control loop, is used to maintain the temperature of an integrated circuit at a first temperature and a second temperature, respectively. In order to prevent the integrated circuit from overheating during periods of rapid temperature increase, the second control loop may be configured to control temperature at the second temperature below the specification limit of the integrated circuit by reducing power to the integrated circuit. The second control loop samples and maintains temperature of the integrated circuit at time intervals relatively faster than that of the first control loop. However, the second control loop is configured to release control to the first control loop when the temperature of the integrated circuit is reduced. The first control loop may then control power to the integrated circuit.
