Vary Temperature/Fan Updating Frequency With Cpu Workload Type To Extend Turbo And Improve Performance, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure related to fan speed control in the notebook. Currently, fan speed depends on the readings from temperature sensors: CPU, dGPU and skin, which form a fan table. EC (Embedded Controller) constantly samples the temperature sensors at a fixed low frequency (for example, 1HZ), then put the readings through a smooth algorithm, then look up fan table and update fan speed. However, during CPU boost events, CPU power spike significantly for a brief period (few seconds), and it causes CPU/GPU temperature rising quickly. Thanks to the smooth algorithm, the fan does not depend entirely on the precise temperature at …

This generated response is then provided back to a …

Heatsink For High-Power Dissipating Electrical Components With Exposed Die, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates heatsinks, namely a heatsink for a very high-power dissipating electrical component with an exposed die from thermal and vibration/shock perspective. The present disclosure addresses two different but co-existing challenges for the high-power components (e.g., ~500W), namely 1) Vibrational/Shock safety of Exposed/Lidless die type chip, and 2) High heat dissipation. To address these challenges, 1) a non-conductive foam gasket is added to the design to support the load over the die during the vibrations and 2) U-shaped heatpipes are added to heatsink to reduce the temperature variation throughout the heatsink. Benefits include heatsink size and weight reduction, …

High-Resolution Database Monitoring: Metric Streaming Protocols For Mission-Critical Applications, Shanu Sirothiya, Sonali Mahajan, Sumit Kumar Saha, Akshit Grover, Nityanand Vishwakarma

Defensive Publications Series

Proposed herein is a Metrics Transfer Protocol (MTP), which is a highly efficient and specialized protocol engineered for the rapid and streamlined transfer of metric data between clients and servers. By utilizing dual connections for control and data, MTP ensures that metrics are initialized accurately and that subsequent updates, reflecting only the changes or deltas, are communicated with minimal overhead. This design is ideal for applications requiring real-time performance monitoring, as it minimizes network latency and resource usage, providing a lightweight alternative to more general-purpose protocols, such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the like.

Synthetic Generation Of Realistic Conversational Data Using Large Language Models, Andrew Tomlinson, Kelsey Kraus, Rupa Maiya

Defensive Publications Series

The biggest struggle that teams have in the current artificial intelligence (AI) arms race is attaining high-quality, representative data to train or test product solutions. Prompts to a Large Language Model (LLM) must be increasingly complex, and even then, models struggle to generate conversational data that could reasonably pass for actual conversation between two or more people. By using an iterative prompting method that builds in real-world variation, a system is proposed herein that provides for the ability to create more realistic conversational data.

Workload Identity Management Using Agent And Controller, Ram Mohan R, Rajesh I V

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques described herein provide for an approach in which an agent provisions a workload with initial credentials based on a workload profile that is learned using a controller. During runtime, when the workload requests a new token using its initial token to interact with peer workloads, an authorization server coordinates with the controller to learn the upstream/downstream peer workloads that will be in the path for the flows the workload will handle. Based on the security posture of those workloads, an appropriate scoped token is returned. This ensures malicious / untrusted workloads in the path cannot re-use or proxy the …

Rapid Channel Plan Optimization Using Fast Tuning Lasers, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to optical networking, namely a rapid channel plan optimization using fast tuning lasers. Fast tuning lasers, able to tune across the optical C-Band in < 10 ns, are becoming available. As such, the present disclosure explores using transceivers with fast tuning lasers and the coordination thereof to rapidly change the channel plan of a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system. This may be accomplished without the loss of traffic by briefly buffering data and ensuring the tuning + reacquisition occurs before the buffer overflows. An example of which is time division multiplexed (TDM) coherent passive optical networks (CPON) which attempt to achieve rapid acquisition (such as <2048 symbols target). This disclosure also explores a dual control signals scheme for fast tuning lasers, claiming the solution of using two power supplies: one low frequency control signal (LFCS) and one high frequency control signal (HFCS).

Independently Controllable Black Level Voltage In Digital-To-Analog Converter Circuits For Amoled Driving Circuits, Sangmoo Choi, Choongho Lee

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes techniques and systems to implement independently controllable black level voltage in digital-to-analog converter circuits for active-matrix flat-panel display driving circuits, such as AMOLED driving circuits used in portable electronic devices. Active-matrix flat-panel driving circuits include digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuits that generally use the black luminance voltage level as a reference for the other gray levels of the DAC circuit. However, such displays can suffer from optical artifacts such as image retention and motion blur artifacts if the black luminance voltage level is set to a high level. Lowering the black luminance voltage, on the other hand, causes …

Smart Auto Frame Insertion For Low Power Consumption In Amoled Displays, Sangmoo Choi, Janghoon Song

Optimizing Application Detection Based Flow Creation And Modification For Applications With Multiple Ip Flows, Jis Abraham

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques presented herein optimize application detection and subsequent creation/updating of dedicated bearers based on Internet Protocol (IP) flow detection. APP-START messages can be avoided for each of the IP flows detected by a user plane function (UPF) for an application towards the Session Management Function/ Policy and Charging Function (SMF/PCF). Updating of quality of service (QoS) rules based on an IP flow detected towards a user equipment (UE) and UPF can be avoided. These techniques use a local configuration (‘single-ipflow-bearer’ indication) on the UPF or the PCF to indicate that all IP flows (single-ipflow-bearer) mapped to a pre-defined rule should …
