摘要:
A system for controlling energy usage in a server having a processor, where the system includes a memory for storing energy cost information, and a controller for determining a transaction rate for the processor. The controller is also for determining a cumulative of energy expended by the server based on the determined transaction rate for each of a number of available power level states (P-states) for operation of the processor, and for selecting one of the available P-states for operation of the processor based on the determined cumulative energy expended and the stored energy cost information.

A passive heat sink for cooling an electronic component such as a high-performance processor. The heat sink includes a shell with a surface that is positionable adjacent a heat generating surface of the electronic component. The shell includes a heat exchanger portion with cooling fins extending outward and positioned in a fan-provided airflow. A generator compartment is provided within the shell with a generator vessel for containing an absorbent, and the generator compartment is maintained at a pressure lower than ambient. The generator compartment conducts heat away from the electronic component to the absorbent in the generator vessel. An absorber compartment, at a pressure lower than the generator compartment, is provided within the shell above the generator compartment, and, in use, an absorption refrigeration cycle contained within the shell is activated by heat from the electronic component. A bubble pump moves absorbent from the generator compartment to the absorber compartment.

A method for identifying a degraded fan measures acoustic data from an operating datacenter fan. A motor rotation frequency and a vane passing frequency are determined from the acoustic data. Amplitudes of the frequencies are determined from the acoustic data. If the amplitude of the motor rotation frequency is greater than the amplitude of the vane passing frequency, then it is determined that the fan is degraded.

A cooling system for a heat producing component includes a base having two or more cells. The cells may include microchannel passages. A pump system may be coupled to the base. The pump system may circulate fluid independently in each of two or more of the cells. The pump system may include an array of two more magnetohydrodynamic pumps. Each magnetohydrodynamic pump may provide fluid to a different cell. A controller may control a flow rate in each one of cell of the cooling system independently one or more of other cells of the cooling system.

Novel DNA sequences derived from a family of genes encoding β-galactosidases in tomato are disclosed. β-Galactosidase II has demonstrated enzyme activity in cell wall disassembly, leading to loss of tissue integrity and fruit softening. Modification of β-galactosidase II gene expression in plants transformed for expression in the antisense direction results in improvement of the quality of fruit texture and firmness.
摘要:
A method and system for monitoring at least one of a system, a process and a data source. A method and system have been developed for carrying out surveillance, testing and modification of an ongoing process or other source of data, such as a spectroscopic examination. A signal from the system under surveillance is collected and compared with a reference signal, a frequency domain transformation carried out for the system signal and reference signal, a frequency domain difference function established. The process is then repeated until a full range of data is accumulated over the time domain and a SPRT sequential probability ratio test methodology applied to determine a three-dimensional surface plot characteristic of the operating state of the system under surveillance.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for monitoring a source of data for determining an operating state of a working system. The method includes determining a sensor (or source of data) arrangement associated with monitoring the source of data for a system, activating a method for performing a sequential probability ratio test if the data source includes a single data (sensor) source, activating a second method for performing a regression sequential possibility ratio testing procedure if the arrangement includes a pair of sensors (data sources) with signals which are linearly or non-linearly related; activating a third method for performing a bounded angle ratio test procedure if the sensor arrangement includes multiple sensors and utilizing at least one of the first, second and third methods to accumulate sensor signals and determining the operating state of the system.
摘要:
A method and system for monitoring a process and determining its condition. Initial data is sensed, a first set of virtual data is produced by applying a system state analyzation to the initial data, a second set of virtual data is produced by applying a neural network analyzation to the initial data and a parity space analyzation is applied to the first and second set of virtual data and also to the initial data to provide a parity space decision about the condition of the process. A logic test can further be applied to produce a further system decision about the state of the process.
摘要:
A technique for detecting changes in a signal that is measured and reported by quantization uses a model that is updated in response to the sampling of quantized values representing the signal. In one stage, (i) frequencies of occurrences of different sampled quantized values in the stage are calculated and (ii) mean frequencies for each of the different sampled quantized values in the stage are calculated and recorded. In a next stage, frequencies of occurrences of different sampled quantized values occurring after an end of the preceding stage are calculated and statistically compared with the mean frequencies of the different sampled quantized values determined in the preceding stage. Dependent on this comparison, a notification may be issued indicating the signal is anomalously changing.
