Abstract: Electrical current flow in a ball grid array (BGA) package can be measured by an apparatus including an integrated circuit (IC) electrically connected to the BGA package. Solder balls connect the BGA package to a printed circuit board (PCB) and are arranged to provide a contiguous channel for a current sense wire. A subset of solder balls is electrically connected to supply current from the PCB through the BGA package to the IC. The current sense wire is attached to the upper surface of the PCB, within the contiguous channel, and surrounds the subset of solder balls. An amplifier is electrically connected to the current sense wire ends to amplify a voltage induced on the current sense wire by current flow into the BGA package. A sensing analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is electrically connected to convert a voltage at the output of the amplifier into digital output signals.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for determining ultrasonic vital product data of coaxial cables and side-band communications through a water medium of a water-cooling system and/or apparatus. The system may include a first electronic device. The system may also include a second electronic device. The system may also include one or more cables running between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. The system may also include a water jacket filled with water encasing the one or more cables. The system may also include one or more transducers connected to the water jacket, the one or more transducers configured to send signals through the water to gather information about each cable. The system may also include a computer system connected to the one or more transducers, where the computer system is configured to control the one or more transducers.

Abstract: An approach for connecting electrical wiring between two chambers of varying temperatures is disclosed. One approach includes a first end of a wiring bundle comprising a first plurality of metal conductors; a second end of the wiring bundle comprising of equal number of metal conductors as the first end of the wiring bundle; the first end of the wiring bundle is separated by an air gap from the second end of the wiring bundle at a first temperature; and an insulator surrounding the wire bundle. Another approach includes the use of one or more SMA (shape-memory alloy) pins connecting the first end of the wiring bundle to the second end of the wiring bundle and that is separated by an air gap and a boundary plate.

Abstract: A grid array capacitor can be used to physically and electrically couple an integrated circuit (IC) package to a printed circuit board (PCB). The grid array capacitor includes an inner conductor and an inner dielectric coaxially surrounding the inner conductor. A secondary conductor can be located to surround, in a coaxial orientation, the inner dielectric. Both the inner conductor and the secondary conductor can be electrically connected to the IC package and to the PCB. In certain applications, the structure of the inner conductor, inner dielectric, and secondary conductor can provide capacitance used to decouple electronic circuits.

Abstract: A system and method to prevent eavesdropping by a device. An anti-eavesdrop component is installed on the device. The anti-eavesdrop component is configured to actively prevent the device from capturing audio from the environment. In response to installing the anti-eavesdrop component, the device recognizes the anti-eavesdrop component as a primary audio input for the device. The anti-eavesdrop component then proceeds to block the device from capturing outside audio by injecting noise or otherwise interfering with the primary audio input.
