Abstract: An electronic assembly is provided. The electronic assembly includes a heat-spreader component and at least one spring. The electronic assembly further includes a thermal pad contacting the at least one spring, and at least one layer of polymer directly contacting at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the thermal pad. Further disclosed is a method of assembling the electronic assembly. The method includes adhering a heat-dissipating sheet on a surface of a metal heat-spreader component. The method also includes placing a thermal pad on at least one spring extending from the surface of the metal heat-spreader component, and placing at least one layer of polymer so as to directly contact at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the thermal pad.

Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are described herein to improve the reliable delivery of content in a satellite system by facilitating the prediction of likely future signal interference. Specifically, the various embodiments provide a technique whereby a likelihood of future plant growth interfering with received signal strength at a satellite dish is determined. In one embodiment, the technique analyses one or more images of a plant in the vicinity of the satellite dish and from that image generates prediction of future growth of the plant over a future time period. From this prediction of future plant growth, a likelihood of future signal interference being caused by the plant can be determined.
