Abstract: A facility containing electronic components can be cooled by one or more automated cooling units. One or more automated cooling units are automatically deployed to respond to temperature events at one or more electronic components by moving the automated cooling unit to the electronic component and operating a cooling assembly to pass air through an affected component, or by moving the automated cooling unit to a designated air handler or air source and supplementing a flow of air generated by the air handler. Multiple automated cooling units can be employed at the same time.

Abstract: A power busway interposer enables a power busway assembly of energized busway segments to be extended, via coupling additional busway segments to the assembly, while maintaining energization of the assembly. As a result, a power busway assembly providing power support to electrical loads can be extended while maintaining power support to the electrical loads. The interposer includes separate sets of connectors that couple with separate busway segments and a switching device which selectively electrically couples the connectors, so that a power busway connector can be de-energized while another separate power busway connector is coupled to an energized busway segment and then subsequently energized. Extending the power busway assembly can include coupling separate sets of connectors to separate busway segments, where the separate sets of connectors are electrically isolated, and adjusting the switching device to electrically couple the separate sets of connectors, so that power is distributed between coupled busway segments.

Abstract: A data center can include an inflatable enclosure in which rack computer systems can be installed and can provide computing capacity. The inflatable enclosure includes an inflatable structure which is at least partially inflated based on cooling air discharged into the inflatable enclosure by one or more cooling modules. A cooling module can include a cooling system and a cooling air vent, where the cooling system adjustably induces a stream of cooling air and the cooling air vent adjustably directs the cooling air stream into a particular space enclosed by an inflatable structure. The inflatable enclosure can be established by separate modules positioned on opposite sides of a space and an inflatable structure which extends across the space between the modules. The inflatable structure can be extended over additional spaces to expand the inflatable enclosure, thereby providing additional space to install rack computer systems.

Abstract: Techniques for monitoring statuses of electrical connections are described. In an example, an identifier of a circuit breaker is received. A determination may be made that the circuit breaker is in an “on” state based on the identifier of the circuit breaker being received. Further, an identifier of a load connected to the circuit breaker over a power cable is received. The identifier of the load is transmitted over the power cable. A determination may be made that the load is connected to the circuit breaker based on the identifier of the load being received. The identifier of the circuit breaker, the identifier of the load, and electrical connection statuses of the circuit breaker and the load may be provided over an interface.

Abstract translation: 数据中心可以包括一个可充气机箱，可以在其中安装机架式计算机系统，并可提供计算能力。 可充气外壳包括可充气结构，其基于通过一个或多个冷却模块排放到可充气外壳中的冷却空气至少部分地膨胀。 冷却模块可以包括冷却系统和冷却空气通风口，其中冷却系统可调节地引起冷却空气流，并且冷却空气通风口可调节地将冷却空气流引导到由可充气结构包围的特定空间中。 可充气外壳可以通过位于空间的相对侧上的分开的模块和横跨模块之间的空间延伸的可充气结构来建立。 可膨胀结构可以在额外的空间上扩展以扩展可充气外壳，从而为安装机架式计算机系统提供额外的空间。
