    摘要: Computational enclosures may be designed to distribute power from power supplies to load units (e.g., processors, storage devices, or network routers). The architecture may affect the efficiency, cost, modularity, accessibility, and space utilization of the components within the enclosure. Presented herein are power distribution architectures involving a distribution board oriented along a first (e.g., vertical) axis within the enclosure, comprising a power interconnect configured to distribute power among a set of load boards oriented along a second (e.g., lateral) axis and respectively connecting with a set of load units oriented along a third (e.g., sagittal) axis, and a set of power supplies also oriented along the third axis. This orientation may compactly and proximately position the loads near the power supplies in the distribution system, and result in a comparatively low local current that enables the use of printed circuit boards for the distribution board and load boards.

    摘要: Described is a technology by which magnetic flux is used to provide backup power. A transformer has a line power source controllably coupled to a first input winding, and secondary power source controllably coupled to a second input winding. A controller monitors the line power and switches to the secondary power source if the line power voltage drops too low, or uses the secondary power source to augment the line power source if the line power current gets too high. Also described is incrementally transitioning from the secondary power source back to the line power source.

    摘要: An electronic device has a ventilation system with an inlet section that receives inlet air that travels past components of the computing device to be cooled and exits at an outlet section. The air carries heat away from the components. A liquid heat transfer system captures heat generated by the components and transfers the captured heat to the inlet section of the ventilation system to warm the inlet air before it travels past the components to be cooled.

    摘要: Power is provided to one or more devices in a system that includes a hierarchical power smoothing environment having multiple tiers. In response to a peak in power usage by the one or more devices, power is provided from a first power smoothing component in a first tier of the multiple tiers. Additionally, power is provided to the one or more devices from power smoothing components in each of other tiers of the multiple tiers if the power smoothing component in a next lower tier of the multiple tiers is unable to provide sufficient power for the peak in power usage. If the power smoothing components in the multiple tiers are unable to provide sufficient power for the peak in power usage, then performance of at least one of the one or more devices is reduced in response to the peak in power usage.

    摘要: A virtual coatings application system has several features to enhance the realism of simulated spray painting. The system generally includes a display screen on which is defined a virtual surface (such as a truck door) that is intended to be virtually painted or coated by the user. The user operates an instrumented spray gun controller that outputs one or more signals representing data as to the status of the controls on the spray gun controller. The system also has a motion tracking system that tracks the position and orientation of the spray gun controller with respect to the virtual surface defined on the display screen. Simulation software generates virtual spray pattern data in response to at least the data from the spray gun controller and the position and orientation data received from the tracking system. Virtual spray pattern images are displayed in real time on the display screen in accordance with the accumulation of virtual spray pattern data at each location on the virtual surface.

    摘要: An equipment rack including front and back doors is configured with fans for air cooling enclosed electronic devices in both doors. The fans in each door are sufficient, by themselves, to provide sufficient airflow to cool the electronic devices. The two doors include switches and magnetic interlocks configured such that when one door is opened, the magnetic interlock on the other door is activated preventing both doors from being opened at the same time. This ensures that at least one door is always closed while the system is powered up, and since the fans in each door provide sufficient cooling for the equipment rack, the rack is always sufficiently cooled to prevent electronic device failure from overheating.

    摘要: A server with a flexible cooling scheme is disclosed. The server comprises a case and a fan. When the server is in a first cooling configuration the fan is configured to force the gas past a first area to be cooled and out to the outside of the case through a second opening in the case. When the server is in a second cooling configuration, the server further comprises a heat exchanger located in the first area and configured to seal the first opening in the case thereby preventing outside gas from entering the first area. When the server is in the second cooling configuration, a sealing device is configured to seal the second opening thereby redirecting the first fan to force the gas past the first area to be cooled and back into the first area, thereby re-circulating the gas inside the case.
