  • Acclimation sensing and control of electronic equipment
    Patent number: 10671137
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a method to control a power-on phase of an electronic device is provided. The method includes transmitting, by a processing device, a request to a plurality of sensors, the request to read a measurement related to an environmental condition; receiving, by the processing device, the measurement from each of the plurality of sensors; and when the measurement is equal to or above a threshold value, commencing, by the processing device, the power-on phase of the electronic device.
    Type: Grant

  • Acclimation sensing and control of electronic equipment
    Patent number: 9742182
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to apparatuses used with a computer-implemented method for controlling power flow to an electronic device, including: receiving a transmission from a service processing device, the transmission to trigger an open switch between the electronic device and a power supply; and causing an open switch to occur through use of an interlock mechanism. Embodiments provide a temperature-driven interlock mechanism and moisture-driven interlock mechanism.
