EYEWEAR DEVICE DYNAMIC POWER CONFIGURATION
Devices and methods for dynamic power configuration (e.g., reduction) for thermal management (e.g., mitigation) in a wearable electronic device such as an eyewear device. The wearable electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures the services it provides to operate in different modes for thermal mitigation (e.g., to prevent overheating). For example, based on temperature, the wearable electronic device adjusts sensors (e.g., turns cameras on or off, changes the sampling rate, or a combination thereof) and adjusts display components (e.g., adjusted rate at which a graphical processing unit generates images and a visual display is updated). This enables the wearable electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation.

Electric spice grinder with digital thermometer
An electric spice grinder with digital thermometer is an apparatus that dispenses milled spices automatically and includes a digital thermometer that can be used to monitor the temperature of food products. The apparatus includes a grinder housing, a food thermometer, a grinder mechanism, a portable power source, and a controller. The grinder housing corresponds to the main structure that houses the rest of the components in a portable and ergonomic way. The food thermometer can be used to monitor the temperature of the desired food product separate from the grinder housing. The grinder mechanism corresponds to the motorized mechanism that dispenses a desired amount of milled spice at a desired grind level. The portable power source provides the voltage necessary to sustain the operation of the food thermometer, the grinder mechanism, and the controller. The controller enables the operational control of the food thermometer and the grinder mechanism.
SENSOR WITH REDUCED POWER CONSUMPTION AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
A sensing device is provided. For example, a sensing device may include a sensing element, a power supply, and a processor that controls application of power from the power supply to the sensing element and measures a response of the sensing element. The processor controls the application of power from the power supply to the sensing element according to an adaptive duty cycle in which power is applied to the sensing element repeatedly for a steady-state time period and, for each application of power for a steady-state time period, power is applied to the sensing element two or more times for a non-steady-state time period. The steady-state time period is a time period which is long enough for the sensing element to reach a steady state response. The non-steady-state time period is a time period which is not long enough for the sensing element to reach a steady state response.

Thermal sensor having toggle control
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for thermal sensor power savings using a toggle control. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit (e.g., a memory device) includes an on-die thermal sensor, a storage element (e.g., a register), and toggle logic. The toggle logic may transition the thermal sensor from a first power consumption level to a second power consumption level responsive, at least in part, to a toggle indication.
AXLE TEMPERATURE MONITORING SYSTEM
An axle temperature monitoring system for monitoring the temperature of an axle spindle and warning a user of excessively high temperature readings includes a sleeve that enwraps the axle spindle with a temperature sensor installed within the sleeve near the inside and outside bearings of the axle spindle. The temperature sensor communicates wirelessly with a central processing unit that activates a warning light when the temperature exceeds the safe operating temperature threshold. The warning light may be installed on an exterior surface of the vehicle, for example on the front driver's side of a trailer, so that the user can see the warning light from the driver's seat. The driver can then slow down and stop the vehicle until the spindles cool down.
Reference voltage generator for temperature sensor with trimming capability at two temperatures
A temperature sensor circuit has a reference voltage generator that is trimmable at two temperatures for increased accuracy. The reference voltage generation section generates a reference voltage, the level of which is trimmable. A voltage divider section is connected to receive the reference voltage from the reference voltage generation section and generate a plurality of comparison voltage levels determined by the reference voltage and a trimmable resistance. An analog-to-digital converter can then be connected to a temperature dependent voltage section to receive the temperature dependent output voltage, such as a proportional to absolute temperature type (PTAT) behavior, and connected to the voltage divider section to receive the comparison voltage levels. The analog to digital converter generates an output indicative of the temperature based upon a comparison of the temperature dependent output voltage to the comparison voltage levels.
