    摘要: The present invention determines temperature and current from resistance measurements of a single magnetoresistive sensor. A dual-purpose sensor includes the magnetoresistive sensor having a single pair of terminals. The sensor is multiplexed under separate current conditions to produce both a temperature measurement and a current measurement in a vicinity of the sensor. A sensor system includes the dual-purpose sensor, a resistance sensing subsystem and a controller that controls the current conditions. A method of measuring temperature and current includes measuring a first resistance of the dual-purpose sensor while a first current is flowing in a conductor adjacent to the sensor, and measuring a second resistance of the sensor while a second current is flowing in the conductor. The first current has a known value while the second current has an unknown value. The temperature and current are determined respectively from the first and second resistance measurements.

    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 optical fiber pressure sensing catheter and a method for using such for detecting a discrete pressure within an organ such as an esophagus. The catheter comprises an elongated hollow body having a wall, a closed proximal end, a closed distal end, and a lumen therebetween. The wall is generally noncompressible by pressure normally exerted thereupon by the organ within which the catheter is inserted except for at least one discrete sensing area of the wall having sufficient flexibility so as to be compressible by pressure exerted thereupon by the organ within which the catheter is inserted. The catheter further comprises at least one sensing optical fiber disposed within the lumen. The optical fiber further comprises a pressure sensing means which is a portion of the optical fiber adjacent the discrete sensing area of the wall. The sensing portion is deformable in response to compression of the discrete sensing area of the wall, which deformation causes attenuation of light transmitted through the fiber. The catheter may further comprise a reference optical fiber disposed within the lumen of the body for use as a comparator with the sensing optical fiber. The catheter may further comprise a positioning assembly disposed within the lumen adjacent the discrete sensing area of the wall for positioning the sensing portion of the sensing optical fiber in a sensing position. The catheter may comprise a plurality of optical fibers and a plurality of discrete sensing areas.

    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.
