Abstract:
A method for data connectivity in a room with a robotic device. In the method, at least one condition is detected with a plurality of sensors and the detected at least one condition is communicated from the sensors to associated access points. One or more of the access points are selected and the robotic device is maneuvered to a location in a vicinity of one or more of the selected access points. The detected at least one condition is communicated from one or more of the selected access points to the robotic device. In addition, the robotic device is maneuvered to a location in a vicinity of a base station and the detected at least one condition is communicated from the robotic device to the base station.
Abstract:
Load demands in a power system are managed by determining whether load demands on one or more power system components need to be varied. If the load demands need to be varied, new load demands to be placed on the power system components are determined. The load demands on the power system components are controlled such that the load demands are substantially equal to the new load demands.
Abstract:
An automated test method characterizes the performance of commercially available thermal interface materials (TIM) for electronic cooling. Such automated internal test vehicle provides an independent study of various TIM's. A spectrum of materials are preferably tested using automated methods so the results are reported in a consistent way. Such reports simplify the comparison and selection of appropriate TIM material for various end-user applications. Such automated test method is observed to be faster and easier to use. It requires minimal operator intervention during the test.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of analyzing energy consumption using node similarity are disclosed. An example of a method may be carried out by program code stored on non-transient computer-readable medium and executed by a processor. The method includes assigning a similarity score to a plurality of nodes using at least one of: domain based rules, attribute based similarity metrics, and machine learning. The method also includes identifying a similar node from the plurality of nodes, for a node under consideration, based on the similarity score. The method also includes determining energy consumption of the node under consideration based on energy consumption of the similar node.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of disaggregating power load are provided. An example of a method is carried out by program code stored on non-transient computer-readable medium and executed by a processor. The method includes receiving time series data representing total energy consumption. The method also includes identifying distinguishing features in the time series data. The method also includes identifying energy consumption constituents of the total energy consumption based on the features.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a data center comprises a first data center section comprising one or more equipment element elements. Each computer element has one or more heat generating sources. A second data center section comprises a heat exchanger, the second data center section being substantially segregated from the first section. A heat transfer element is thermally coupled to at least some of the heat generating sources and is further thermally coupled to the heat exchanger.
Abstract:
In a method of generating governing metrics, a high-level goal to be met in a provisioned system is identified. In addition, a low-level governing policy designed to facilitate achievement of the high-level goal is selected and properties relating to the selected low-level governing policy are identified. The identified properties are formulated to define governing metrics relevant to the selected low-level governing policy and the formulated governing metrics are outputted. The formulated governing metrics are configured to be used in at least one of evaluating and controlling resource provisioning in the provisioned system.
Abstract:
In a method of designing an apparatus formed of at least one component to substantially minimize exergy destruction, at least one of one or more candidate materials and one or more candidate processes are identified. The one or more candidate materials are capable of being used in forming the at least one component and the one or more candidate processes are associated with either or both of the one or more candidate materials and the at least one component. Exergy destruction values of at least one of the one or more candidate materials and the one or more candidate processes are determined. In addition, at least one of the one or more candidate materials and the one or more candidate processes having the substantially lowest exergy destruction values are selected for the apparatus design.
Abstract:
A data center is designed by determining a compute description that describes computer resources to be used in the system from design requirements and models of the computer resources. A facility description that describes facilities to be used in the data center is determined from the compute description and models of the facilities. An integrated system describing the design of the data center is determined from the facility and compute descriptions.
