Abstract: Automated managing of a data center installation is provided. The managing includes evaluating, at least in part by image processing analysis, a captured image of at least a portion of the data center installation to identify a component-related deficiency within the data center installation. One or more measurements within a data center are used to determine an energy penalty due to the identified component-related deficiency within the data center installation, and an action to correct the component-related deficiency within the data center installation is initiated based on the energy penalty exceeding a predefined threshold.

Abstract: Composite heat sink structures and methods of fabrication are provided, with the composite heat sink structures including: a thermally conductive base having a main heat transfer surface to couple to, for instance, at least one electronic component to be cooled; a compressible, continuous sealing member; and a sealing member retainer compressing the compressible, continuous sealing member against the thermally conductive base; and an in situ molded member. The in situ molded member is molded over and affixed to the thermally conductive base, and is molded over and secures in place the sealing member retainer. A coolant-carrying compartment resides between the thermally conductive base and the in situ molded member, and a coolant inlet and outlet are provided in fluid communication with the coolant-carrying compartment to facilitate liquid coolant flow through the compartment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for data center cooling by vaporizing fuel using data center waste heat. The systems include, for instance, an electricity-generating assembly, a liquid fuel storage, and a heat transfer system. The electricity-generating assembly generates electricity from a fuel vapor for supply to the data center. The liquid fuel storage is coupled to supply the fuel vapor, and the heat transfer system is associated with the data center and the liquid fuel storage. In an operational mode, the heat transfer system transfers the data center waste heat to the liquid fuel storage to facilitate vaporization of liquid fuel to produce the fuel vapor for supply to the electricity-generating assembly. The system may be implemented with the liquid fuel storage and heat transfer system being the primary fuel vapor source, or a back-up fuel vapor source.

Abstract: An assembly is provided including a flexible conduit and a device connectable to a generally central portion of the flexible conduit. The device includes a base. Movement of the base relative to an adjacent surface is restricted. At least one biasing assembly is attached to the base. The generally central portion of the flexible conduit is connected to the at least one biasing assembly. The at least one biasing assembly is configured to deform when a force is applied near a first end of the flexible conduit such that the force is not transmitted to a second end of the flexible conduit.

Abstract: A heat sink structure is provided having fins mechanically altered dynamically to change and optimize the heat sink's performance based on certain environmental conditions. Specifically, the shape of fins of the heat sink structure is dynamically altered in response to environmental conditions that indicate the need for increased thermal performance by spreading the fins through a mechanical device dynamically, or by collapsing the fins to reduce pressure drop across a region when increased thermal performance is not needed.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a method to control a power-on phase of an electronic device is provided. The method includes transmitting, by a processing device, a request to a plurality of sensors, the request to read a measurement related to an environmental condition; receiving, by the processing device, the measurement from each of the plurality of sensors; and when the measurement is equal to or above a threshold value, commencing, by the processing device, the power-on phase of the electronic device.

Abstract: Tamper-proof electronic packages and fabrication methods are provided including an enclosure enclosing, at least in part, at least one electronic component within a secure volume, a two-phase dielectric fluid within the secure volume, and a tamper-respondent detector. The tamper-respondent detector monitors, at least in part, temperature and pressure of the two-phase dielectric fluid. In operation, the two-phase dielectric fluid deviates from an established saturation line of the two-phase dielectric fluid within the secure volume with an intrusion event into the secure volume, and the tamper-respondent detector detects, from the monitoring of the temperature and pressure of the two-phase dielectric fluid, the deviation from the established saturation line, and thereby occurrence of the intrusion event.
