Abstract: Predictive rechargeable battery management is provided, which includes obtaining performance data on a battery cell of multiple rechargeable battery cells within a product, and comparing the performance data of the battery cell to statistical data on battery cell performance of a plurality of battery cells of similar type to the battery cell, and in corresponding condition(s) to the battery cell. Further, the managing includes determining, based on the comparing, that performance of the battery cell is trending away from the statistical data of battery cell performance of the plurality of battery cells. Further, the managing includes performing a battery-related action based on the performance of the battery cell trending away from that of the plurality of battery cells of similar type and in corresponding condition(s) to the battery cell.

Abstract: A battery pack system is provided with an integrated battery disconnect mechanism. The battery pack system includes a circuit board and one or more battery packs connected to the circuit board. A battery pack of the one or more battery packs is connected to the circuit board via one or more connectors. The battery pack system also includes a disconnect mechanism configured to disconnect the battery pack from the circuit board with a failure event at the battery pack by disconnecting the one or more connectors connecting the battery pack to the circuit board. In an enhanced aspect, the battery pack is suspended from the circuit board by the one or more connectors, and the disconnecting of the one or more connectors by the disconnect mechanism with the failure event releases the battery pack to drop away from the circuit board.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for facilitating cable plugging in a network by wirelessly reading, by a hand-held mobile device, connector identifying information directly from a tag associated with a cable connector at one end of a cable to be plugged in the network. The hand-held mobile device uses the connector identifying information to ascertain guidance for where to properly plug the cable connector in the network, and based on ascertaining the guidance, an action is performed to assist in properly plugging the cable connector in the network.

Abstract: Mapping boxes in a storage bay is provided, which includes: ascertaining storage bay boundaries; wirelessly reading, using a mobile device, identifying information from tags associated with the boxes, each box having one or more associated tags, and the identifying information including size information for the associated box; determining position of the tags in the storage bay by triangulating tag locations relative to, in part, one or more locations of the mobile device; and creating, by a processor, a mapping of boxes in the storage bay using the tag positions and the identifying information wirelessly read from the tags. In one or more implementations, the tags are near-field communication (NFC) tags associated with the boxes, and the creating may include automatically reorienting a floating box in the mapping of boxes, as well as automatically repositioning a box when boxes overlap each other, or overlap an edge of the storage bay.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for system power supply. A power demand of a system having a first power supply unit (PSU) and a second power supply unit (PSU) is monitored. An efficiency profile of the first PSU is accessed. An efficiency profile of the second PSU is accessed. A load split between the first and second PSUs is generated based on the efficiency profiles of the first and second PSUs and the power demand to increase a power efficiency of the system.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a switchable redundant voltage regulator (referred to herein as a redundant phase) that can be attached to multiple different power domains. Instead of providing a redundant phase for every load or voltage domain in a computing system, the embodiments herein describe sharing redundant phases between voltage domains. Thus, if a primary phase serving any one of the phase fails, the switch can be controlled to connect the redundant phase to the corresponding voltage domain. In this manner, the redundant phase is a shared phase for a plurality of voltage domains.

Abstract: Rechargeable battery monitoring and control is provided using a non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. A non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold is obtained indicative of an operational state abnormality in a rechargeable battery cell, and during the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell, a control compares an actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell to the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. Based on the actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell exceeding the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold, the control identifies the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell. Based on identifying the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell, the control discontinues the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell.

Abstract: Self-acting devices and methods are provided for facilitating preventing product tip over. The self-acting device includes an anti-tip mechanism associated with a product to facilitate preventing tip over of the product when in an extended state. Further, the device includes an actuator associated with the product. The actuator is operatively coupled to facilitate transition of the anti-tip mechanism from a retracted state to the extended state. Further, an actuator control is provided to signal the actuator to facilitate transitioning the anti-tip mechanism from the retracted state to the extended state based on the actuator control detecting movement of the product across a floor.

Abstract: Electronic device containment is provided by a containment structure with an internal compartment sized to receive an electronic device. The containment structure includes an incident containment mechanism to facilitate containing a failure incident of the electronic device within the containment structure when the electronic device is positioned within the containment structure. An electronic system is associated with the containment structure and the electronic device operatively couples to the electronic system to allow a user to operate the electronic device remotely via the electronic system when positioned within the containment structure.
