A computing system for adjusting voltage regulation including a main processing module, a secondary processing module that executes requested computation tasks, and a voltage regulation module connected to the secondary processing module that regulates its output voltage according to a regulation law depending on at least one regulation parameter. The system also includes a first digital bus (that transfers requested computation tasks from the main processing module to the secondary processing module and transfers results of the requested computation tasks from the secondary processing module to the main processing module. The system also includes a second digital bus that transfers regulation parameters from the main processing module to the voltage regulation module.

A includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device is to: initialize a block family associated with the memory device; initialize a timer at initialization of the block family; and aggregate temperature values received from sensor(s) of the memory device over time to generate an aggregate temperature. Responsive to programming a page residing on the memory device, the processing device associates the page with the block family. The processing device closes the block family in response to the aggregate temperature being greater than a first temperature value and the timer reaching a first time value. The processing device closes the block family in response to the aggregate temperature being less than or equal to the first temperature value and the timer reaching a second time value that is greater than the first time value.

An information processing apparatus that detects processing to be executed by a processor includes: a display that displays a status of the processing to be executed by the processor; and a switching controller that switches between a first adjustment mode and a second adjustment mode in association with predetermined processing to be executed without displaying the execution status on the display. The first adjustment mode sets, as a target for selection, a first selection range including a plurality of processing power classes classified according to the magnitude of the processing power. The second adjustment mode sets, as a target for selection, a second selection range in which a first processing power class related to relatively high processing power is excluded from among the first processing power class, a second processing power class, and a third processing power class of the first selection range.

A system, method and apparatus for configuring a person detection sensor. The person detection sensor may limit its transmissions in accordance with a pre-configured dwell time. The person detection sensor may receive a new dwell time from a personal communication device. When the new dwell time is received, it is stored in memory and is then used to regulate the number of transmissions of the person detection sensor in accordance with the new dwell time.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to power consuming processes of electronic devices. For example, an electronic device may create, initiate, and/or modify a power consuming process of the electronic device, based in part on user power consumption information that indicates a typical amount of power consumed by a user of the electronic device. The electronic device may recommend increases in power consumption for low power consumption users and/or decreases in power consumption for high power consumption users. A power consumption process may include a visual arrangement of graphical elements that each display periodically, occasionally, and/or continuously updated information from the application, when a full user interface of the application is not displayed.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems and methods for stable and elevated idle-mode temperature for assembled semiconductor devices. In an embodiment, a processor includes a communication interface configured to receive, from a first hardware component, instructions assigned to the processor for execution. The processor also includes temperature-measurement circuitry configured to monitor an on-chip temperature of the processor. The processor also includes control logic configured to: determine whether the processor is active or idle; determine whether the on-chip temperature of the processor exceeds a first threshold; based on determining that the processor is idle and that the on-chip temperature of the processor exceeds the first threshold, disable one or more idle-mode power-saving features of the processor; and selectively adjust one or more operating parameters of the processor to keep the on-chip temperature of the processor between the first threshold and a second (higher) threshold.
