Abstract: In disclosed techniques, datacenter power management uses AC and DC power sources. An AC power distribution topology within a datacenter provides one or more AC power sources to computing devices. A DC power distribution topology within the datacenter provides one or more DC power sources to computing devices. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is provisioned to a rack of computing devices, wherein the UPS is capable of receiving the one or more AC power sources using the AC power distribution topology and the one or more DC power sources using the DC power distribution topology. The one or more DC power sources are evaluated for energizing the DC power distribution topology. The one or more DC power sources are connected to the UPS which is provisioned to the rack of computing devices, based on the evaluating and a datacenter power requirement.

Abstract: Datacenter power management using current injection is disclosed. A datacenter topology that includes a utility grid feed, power caches, power control blocks, loads, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) providing AC power is accessed. A supply capacity is allocated from a first UPS to the one or more loads within the datacenter, below a peak load requirement for the loads. It is also allocated based on a datacenter power policy. An AC current requirement is detected by the one or more power control blocks. The AC current requirement is detected for the one or more loads at the output network of the first UPS. AC current is injected into the output network of the first UPS by the one or more power control blocks. The AC current injection is based on the AC current requirement that was detected. The AC current injection is further based on the datacenter power policy.

Abstract: A carrier for a bulk beverage container having a spout includes a shell having walls forming a hollow interior space sized and shaped for receiving the bulk beverage container therein, an opening formed in one of the walls for passage of the spout therethrough, and a flap secured to the shell for selectively covering the opening. The flap hinges between a closed position wherein the flap covers the opening and an open position wherein the flap does not cover the opening. A gasket can be provided at the opening for closely receiving the spout to seal the opening about the spout. Fasteners, such as hook-and-loop type fasteners, can be provided for removably securing the flap in the closed and open positions.

Abstract: A deployment system for deploying a moveable wing surface (22) from a main wing section (8). The deployment system includes a plurality of swing arm assemblies (24,26) connecting the moveable wing surface (22) to the main wing section (8) and a drive means for deploying and retracting the moveable wing surface (22), wherein at least one of the swing arm assemblies (24,26) includes a swing arm (28) pivotably connected to the main wing (8) and a connector mechanism (34) for connecting the movable wing surface (22) to the swing arm (28).

Abstract: A wing includes a main wing section and a moveable wing surface that is adjustable relative to an adjacent edge of the main wing section to alter the camber of the wing. The adjacent edge of the main wing section is shaped such that the moveable wing surface remains substantially in contact with the main wing section when the moveable wing surface is positioned between a fully retracted condition and a partially deployed condition, and a slot is provided between the moveable wing surface and the main wing section when the moveable wing surface is positioned between the partially deployed condition and a fully deployed condition.

Abstract: A deployment system for deploying a moveable wing surface such as a slat from a main wing section includes a first swing arm assembly (24) and a second swing arm assembly (26), which connect the moveable wing surface (22) to said main wing section (8). The first swing arm assembly (24) includes a first swing arm (30) that is pivotably connected to the moveable wing surface, and the second swing arm assembly (26) includes a second swing arm (44) that is connected to the moveable wing surface (22) via a lost motion mechanism (50) that includes a sliding joint (58).
