  • Patent number: 10842050
    Abstract: A system. The system includes rack containers and a cooling fluid. The rack containers include rack units stacked in a first direction that is parallel to a floor. Each rack unit has wheels positioned on a supporting structure on the floor which enables adjacent rack containers to move closer to or further from each other. The supporting structure is on the floor and is oriented in the second direction. The second direction is parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first direction. The cooling fluid is flowed through a flexible tube into each rack container via a cooling conduit secured at a first port on a top surface of each rack container. The cooling conduit encapsulates the flexible tube. The top surface is further from the floor than is any other surface of each rack container.

  • Patent number: 10172260
    Abstract: A method. A cooling fluid flows through a flexible tube into each rack container including a plurality of rack units via a cooling conduit that encapsulates the flexible tube and is secured at a first port on a top surface of each rack container. The rack units are stacked in a direction parallel to a floor. The cooling conduit includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment is linked to, perpendicular to, and in direct physical contact with, the second segment through a first articulation. The second segment is linked to, parallel to, and in direct physical contact with, the third segment through a second articulation. The first and second articulations are configured to rotate horizontally in a plane parallel to the floor to enable the flexible tube to maintain smooth contact with the top surface of each rack container.

  • Patent number: 9706686
    Abstract: A method for forming a system. A cooling conduit is secured on a top surface of each rack container of rack units to allow a cooling fluid to flow through a flexible tube into each rack container via the cooling conduit that encapsulates the flexible tube. The rack units are stacked in a direction parallel to a floor. Each rack unit includes at least one heat generating device. Each heat generating device is configured to generate heat while in operation. The top surface is further from the floor than is any other surface of each rack container. The cooling fluid is configured to be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device. An exhaust conduit is secured on the top surface of each rack container to allow the heated cooling fluid to be exhausted from each rack container via the exhaust conduit.

  • Patent number: 9497113
    Abstract: Routers split and share routing information among several routers within a group of routers acting as a single border router in an Internet protocol (IP) network, each router comprising a routing table. A router of the group selects routes in the routing table of the router; requests other routers of the group to replace, in their routing tables, each selected route with the router as next hop; associates parts of-non selected routes, each one with another router of the group; and removes and replaces, in the routing table, each-non selected route associated with a router of the group by the associated router as next hop.

  • Patent number: 9324085
    Abstract: There is revealed a progressive and conditional delivery of digital contents. A given master digital content is previously divided in content blocks, each content block being associated with related content blocks presenting particular hierarchical and dependency characteristics. Responsive to user selection of the master digital content, for each selected content block, there is checked first the display of each related content block and upon positive checking there is displayed the considered selected content block. There is further disclosed steps of checking display performed from an analog capture of the user interface or from video frame buffer memory data. There may be detected predefined marks. There may be performed image similarity comparisons or image matching tests with expected images associated with content blocks. There are also disclosed predefined encryption keys being used to decipher one or a plurality of content blocks.

  • Patent number: 9282683
    Abstract: A system and a method for forming the system. The system includes a cooling conduit and rack containers stacked in a first direction parallel to a floor. Each rack unit includes at least one heat generating device configured to generate heat while in operation. Each rack container is equipped with wheels positioned on a supporting structure to enable the wheels to move along the supporting structure in a second direction which enables adjacent rack containers to move closer to or further from each other. The second direction is parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first direction. The supporting structure is on the floor and oriented in the second direction. The cooling conduit is secured on a top surface of each rack container to allow a cooling fluid to flow into each rack container and be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device.
