20110106416 | PREDICTING EXPECTED ROAD TRAFFIC CONDITIONS BASED ON HISTORICAL AND CURRENT DATA - Techniques are described for determining and using information regarding expected road traffic flow conditions information for vehicles traveling on roads. The expected road traffic flow conditions for a particular portion of a road may be generated by combining historical representative information about road traffic flow conditions for that road portion with current information about actual traffic flow on or near that road portion. The combination may, for example, provide benefits for estimating expected traffic flow conditions information for roads with structural flow obstructions that cause reduced traffic flow at certain road locations and times—for example, the expected traffic flow conditions information may be based at least in part on fitting or otherwise adapting partial actual traffic flow information about a vehicle's actual travel path to a historical travel profile for a road that includes representative traffic flow information for various combinations of road locations and time periods. | 05-05-2011 |

20100328885 | Rotatable Cooling Module - A rotatable cooling module includes a cooling coil. An input line is coupled to the cooling coil via a coupler that allows the cooling coil to rotate independent of the input line. An output line is coupled to the cooling coil via a second coupler that allows the cooling coil to rotate independent of the output line. A coolant flows through the input line and the first coupler and passes through the cooling coil, which removes heat from an electronic assembly to which the cooling unit is attached. The coolant then flows through the second coupler and through the output line and returns to a heat exchanger, which cools the liquid before recirculating through the cooling unit. The couplers are disposed about a single axis which allows the cooling module to be rotated, and the couplers prevent damage from occurring to any of the elements of the cooling module. | 12-30-2010 |
