    Abstract: In some implementations, a programmable power adapter includes a first set of switches, a resonant circuit, a transformer, and a second set of switches. The power adapter includes control circuitry configured to provide control signals that change the voltage conversion ratios of the first set of switches and the second set of switches. The control circuitry can provide control signals causing the first set of switches to operate in one of multiple operating modes that each correspond to a different voltage conversion ratio, and the control circuitry can provide control signals causing the second set of switches to operate in one of multiple operating modes that each correspond to a different voltage conversion ratio.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, an adaptor may include a converting unit configured to convert a source voltage to an output voltage to be provided to a computing device via a cable. The converting unit includes a transformer having primary windings and secondary windings. The adaptor includes a current sense unit configured to obtain a current sense signal, where the current sense signal indicates an output current produced by the secondary windings of the transformer. The adaptor includes an IR drop detection unit configured to determine a feedback signal representing a voltage drop caused by the cable based on the current sense signal and the output voltage of the converting unit, and a control unit configured to adjust the output voltage of the converting unit to account for the voltage drop represented by the feedback signal.

    Abstract: A server rack with vertically stacked shelves is disclosed. The shelves are used for housing loads (e.g. servers) and power supply units. Thus, both the power supply units and the servers are vertically stacked in the rack. An array of vertical and horizontal busses is secured to the back side of the server rack to electrically couple the servers with the power supply units. The arrangement of the PSUs and the busses provides for uniform current density across the server rack. The devices placed on the shelves are accessible and serviceable from the front of the server rack. The server rack can be placed within or secured to a device, system or a server room in a vertical orientation, a horizontal orientation or at an angle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cooling electronic equipment in a data center. Ambient air is vertically circulated from a workspace across a plurality of rack-mounted electronic devices. The electronic devices are located in a plurality of trays such that each tray has a major plane that is substantially parallel to a side plane of the rack. The circulated air is cooled with a heat exchanger that is connected to a vertical end of the rack via a sealed interface. Multiple racks can be arrayed in a distributed cooling arrangement, which increases reliability and scalability of the data center.
