A method for reducing commutation-related acoustic noise in a fan system is provided. A constant frequency periodic signal is generated and a fan commutation event is synchronized with a zero level value of the constant frequency periodic signal. A system for controlling a direct current fan is provided. The system comprises a signal generator adapted to produce a periodic signal of a constant frequency and a phase-locked loop. A zero level value of the periodic signal is synchronized with a commutation event of the fan.

An electrostatic precipitator that removes zinc whiskers from cooling air provided to cool components in an electronics enclosure. The electrostatic precipitator comprises an ionizer configured to apply a charge to zinc whiskers suspended in the cooling air. The electrostatic precipitator also comprises a collector that collects charged zinc whiskers from the contaminated cooling air to generate uncontaminated cooling air for cooling the components of the electronics enclosure. The electrostatic precipitator is configured to be disposed in the cooling air flow path upstream of the components such that the cooling air travels through the electrostatic precipitator prior to impinging on the components.

An embodiment of a media quantity sensing device and a media type sensing device includes a first, a second a third, and a fourth electrode. The first electrode is positioned above a media tray and the second electrode is positioned on the media tray below the media. The third and the fourth electrodes are positioned so that the media leaving the media tray passes between them. The media quantity sensing device further includes a measuring circuit coupled to a controller. The measuring circuit includes a first dual slope integrator to generate a first square wave output signal having a frequency dependent upon the dielectric constant of the media between the first electrode and the second electrode. The measuring circuit further includes a second dual slope integrator to generate a second square wave output signal having a frequency dependent upon the dielectric constant of the media between the third electrode and the fourth electrode. The measuring circuit also includes a frequency measurement unit to measure the frequencies of the first and the second square wave output signals. The controller reads the frequencies from the first and the second square wave output signals. The controller determines the media type in the media tray based upon the frequency of the first square wave output signal. Based upon the media type information, the controller selects and accesses a lookup table to determine the quantity of the media in the media tray by comparing the frequency of the second square wave output signal to values in the lookup table.
