A heat sink to selectively dissipate heat from a plurality of heat-generating components. The heat sink includes a plurality of heat pipes, and a base plate configured to locate at least one of the plurality of heat pipes proximate each of the plurality of heat-generating components. The heat sink also includes a plurality of sets of fins operable to dissipate heat generated by the heat-generating components, and a plurality of sets of louvers, wherein each of the plurality of sets of louvers is associated with one of the plurality of sets of fins and is operable to open to selectively allow airflow from outside the heat sink to dissipate heat from one of the plurality of sets of fins.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to adjusting the lumen output of a light source. A system may include a light source, a pipe, and at least two light-obscuring elements within the pipe. The pipe may have an inlet port and an outlet port, where the inlet port is configured to be secured to the light source such that all lumens of the light source are directed through an inner passageway of the pipe to the outlet port. The light-obscuring elements may be configured to be moved to reduce a number of lumens of the light source that traverse through the pipe to the outlet port.

A microfluidic control apparatus, such as a relief valve, includes a pressure containing housing to contain a fluid within an interior of the pressure containing housing, and a nanotube in fluid communication between the interior of the pressure containing housing and an exterior of the pressure containing housing. The nanotube is used to contain water therein such that, below a predetermined temperature, the water within the nanotube prevents pressure relief through the nanotube from the interior to the exterior of the pressure containing housing, and above the predetermined temperature, the water within the nanotube enables pressure relief through the nanotube from the interior to the exterior of the pressure containing housing.

Improved techniques for proactive identification of errors are provided. Documents are analyzed, using natural language processing (NLP) models, to identify entities in the documents. The documents are processed with the NLP models to identify relationships among the entities, and each of the entities is stored in a data store, where the data store further includes an indication of the identified relationships among the entities. A draft correspondence is received, and it is determined that the draft correspondence includes a first entity and a second entity, where the first entity and the second entity have a first relationship. Upon determining that the first relationship conflicts with at least one of the relationships stored in the data store, a suggested revision for the draft correspondence is generated.
