A personal electronic device can include a main printed circuit board having disposed thereon a processing unit, one or more auxiliary circuits coupled to the main printed circuit board by one or more corresponding flexible printed circuits and one or more temperature sensors disposed on one of the flexible printed circuits. A processing unit of the portable electronic device can be configured to monitor the one or more temperature sensors, provide a warning in response to a monitored temperature exceeding a first threshold, and to cause a shutdown of at least a portion of the personal electronic device in response to the monitored temperature exceeding a second threshold. The temperature sensors can be negative temperature coefficient resistors.

The present disclosure provides a system and method for retrieving temperature information of GPUs of a server system via PCIe topology, and using a baseboard management controller (BMC) to control fan speed(s) of cooling fans based at least upon the temperatures of the GPUs. In some implementations, the management controller can determine a PCIe topology of the server system via an operating system (OS), and get the BusID of each GPU or GPU card of the server system. Based upon the BusID, the management controller can retrieve temperature information of a corresponding GPU from a GPU library (e.g., NVIDIA Management Library [NVML]), and further control fan speed of cooling fan(s) based at least upon the temperature information.

An example base management controller interface is provided herein. The base management controller interface includes a power monitoring interface, a temperature interface, and a flow control interface. The power monitoring interface is connected to a management software to distribute and monitor additional power to a host server. The temperature interface to monitor a temperature of the host server. The flow control interface to control a flow rate of liquid in a liquid cooling manifold.

An electronic device, which includes a host, and a storage device receiving a command from the host. The storage device processes the received command and returns, to the host, a command response indicating a result of processing the received command, and the command response includes information about an internal temperature of the storage device.

A system includes an input/output module (IOM) configured to interface with a field device. The IOM includes a terminal block including a plurality of inputs or outputs, each of the inputs or outputs configured to send and receive signals to and from the field device. The IOM also includes a plurality of temperature sensors, each of the plurality of temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature in a vicinity of the temperature sensor. The IOM also includes a connector configured to transmit the temperature of each of the plurality of temperature sensors to a processing device.

Modem thermal management may include a state machine monitoring a temperature associated with a modem, setting a mode in response to detection of a change in the temperature with respect to a threshold, and applying a set of one or more thermal mitigation actions associated with a current state of the state machine. The state machine may set a timer in response to detection of the change in temperature and then transition from the current state to another state in response to expiration of the timer. The monitored temperature may be a junction temperature or a skin temperature.

An electronic device, which includes a host, and a storage device receiving a command from the host. The storage device processes the received command and returns, to the host, a command response indicating a result of processing the received command, and the command response includes information about an internal temperature of the storage device.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example electronic device disclosed herein includes a microphone and a thermal management system having a fan. The electronic device includes a processor to detect ambient noise via the microphone, identify a sound of interest value associated with the ambient noise and identify a background noise value associated with the ambient noise. The processor to determines a signal-to-noise ratio based on the sound of interest value and the background noise value and compares the signal-to-noise ratio to a sensitivity threshold. In response to determining that the signal-to-noise ratio exceeds the sensitivity threshold, the processor operates the thermal management system with one or more restrictions.

A method for configuring hardware modules in an automation system includes the steps opening or creating a project in a project configuration software package, opening or generating, in the project, where a station has a number of slots, opening a hardware catalog that includes a plurality of hardware module master data records, inserting at least one hardware module master data record for a hardware module from the hardware catalog (into the station, wherein a customization step is performed for the at least one hardware module master data record, where at least one environmental parameter is specified which represents the ambient conditions at the deployment location of the at least one hardware module, and saving the station having the at least one hardware module master data record inserted into the station and with its at least one environmental parameter.

Systems and methods for facilitating water conservation and smart water control are provided. Water conservation and smart water control can be achieved using a smart water apparatus having the ability to approximate distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object such as a human or inanimate object and adjust flow rate of water and/or temperature of the water based on the approximated distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object. The smart water apparatus can be embodied, for example, in a network connected shower head or a network connected faucet.
