Abstract:
There is provided an optical matrix switch which comprises a branch-selective network and has, in its center stage, a transmittance-variable optical switch (a gate) with one input and one output. Varying the transmittance of the gate can reduce crosstalk between channels, and, if necessary, can control the power of optical channels. An optical ADM is also provided. In this optical ADM, a first level controller is provided between first and second optical switches for drop and add and controls the level of transmitted light, the level of an optical signal dropped is controlled in a second level controller, and the level of an optical signal added is controlled in a third level controller. The individual members are provided in an integral form on a single substrate. This can realize a reduction in size and a reduction in weight of an optical ADM. Further, this facilitates the control of a variation in loss in each path and the control of the level of optical signals in a terminal for drop and a terminal for add.
Abstract:
An equipment power management system in accordance with the present invention has a plurality of electrical devices and a control device. The electrical devices can operate in any one of multiple operational states different from each other in power consumption of a commercial power source. The control device switches the operational state of an electrical device to that of a smaller power consumption of the commercial power source in ascending order from the electrical device of the lowest priority when a receiving power amount of the whole equipment including the plurality of electrical devices exceeds a first threshold value until the receiving power amount falls below a second threshold value which is lower than or equal to the first threshold value.

Abstract:
A computer system comprises a computer that includes a plurality of CPU sockets including one or more CPU cores, a crossbar switch, and a memory controller each, and memories connected under the respective plurality of CPU sockets, the plurality of CPU sockets being connected to each other. When all the CPU cores in a CPU socket enter a power saving state and a total amount of memory use falls below a predetermined threshold, the computer relocates contents of the memory connected under the CPU socket to a memory under another CPU socket, thereby eliminating an access to the memory connected under the CPU socket and bringing a whole of the CPU socket into the power saving state.
Abstract:
An electric device has a casing with an air-inlet and an air-outlet, a main unit disposed inside the casing, a first temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside the casing, a second temperature sensor for detecting the temperature outside the casing, an electric fan, and a control unit. The control unit rotates the electric fan at the time of the low-temperature startup such that the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor is lower than a preset first threshold value, while the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor is higher than the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor.
