Aspects of the present disclosure may relate to an apparatus, a method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured for tuning radio frequency elements. In some aspects, the aspects may relate to at least one radio frequency element, at least one wireless charging, one or more channels configured to run between a first portion at least substantially adjacent to the at least one wireless charging coil and a second portion at least substantially adjacent to the at least one radio frequency element, and a dielectric fluid disposed within the one or more channels.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for providing a multiphase pumping mechanism configured for multiphase cooling of electrical charging circuitry. In the context of an apparatus, the apparatus includes a thermoelectric cooling device having first and second opposed surfaces and a fluid circulation path having first and second branches in thermal communication with the first and second surfaces, respectively, of the thermoelectric cooling device. The fluid circulation path is configured to control flow of fluid therethrough such that the fluid alternately flows through the first and second branches. The first branch of the fluid circulation path is also configured to be in a thermal communication with at least one first component of a mobile electronic device in order to absorb heat and correspondingly cool the at least one first component of the mobile electronic device.

Examples of the disclosure relate to vapour chambers. Examples of the disclosure can provide an apparatus comprising: at least a first vapour chamber portion and a second vapour chamber portion wherein the vapour chamber portions comprise walls housing an internal volume where the internal volume is configured to enable vapour flow; at least one hinge formed from walls of the first vapour chamber portion and walls of the second vapour chamber portion and configured to enable the first vapour chamber portion to be moved relative to the second vapour chamber portion; and wherein the hinge is thermally conductive and configured to enable heat to be transferred from the first vapour chamber portion to the second vapour chamber portion.

Vapour chamber

A strain sensor includes a viscous piezoresistive element embedded or encapsulated within a solid, flexible, resilient packaging element, and a contact contactable from the exterior of the strain sensor and defining an electrical path through or along at least a portion of the viscous piezoresistive element, the resistance of the electrical path varying with deformation of the strain sensor. The invention allows the high gauge factor of a viscous piezoresistive material to be taken advantage of in a practical device by containing the material within a packaging element. The packaging element ensures a consistent output response as a function of deformation of the strain sensor and enables the strain sensor to detect time-varying forces due to the resilient nature of the packaging element.
