Patent number: 9648128Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for generating a dynamically generated ad hoc cloud storage system of mobile devices. A mobile device transmits a request to dynamically generate an ad hoc cloud storage system, to other devices within a local vicinity of the mobile device. Responses are received from the other devices within the local vicinity of the mobile device indicating that a corresponding device is available to participate in the dynamically generated ad hoc cloud storage system. The dynamically generated ad hoc cloud storage system is generated using memory resources of the other devices corresponding to the responses. The mobile device captures recording data and distributes the recording data to the other devices for storage in memory resources of the other devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shang Q. Guo, Canturk Isci, Jonathan Lenchner, Maharaj Mukherjee, Emmanuel Tong-Viet

Patent number: 9635517Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for navigating a vehicle to a target address using position information transmitted by a position identifying transmitter in a vicinity of the target address. A location of a target address is determined by receiving position information for the target address, upon entry of a searching vehicle in search of a target address into a vicinity of the target address, wherein the received position information for the target address is based upon position information transmitted by a position identifying transmitter located in the vicinity of the target address; and generating a navigation route to direct the searching vehicle to the target address using the received position information.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Shang Q. Guo, Canturk Isci, Jonathan Lenchner, Maharaj Mukherjee, Emmanuel Tong-Viet

Patent number: 9271428Abstract: A cooling host module is operable for providing cooling gas flow in a substantially isolated closed loop for a computing device. The computing device comprises a substantially vertical first face having an inlet portion comprising no more than about a lower third of a height of the first face for inlet gas flow and a substantially vertical second face opposite the first face for outlet gas flow. The cooling host module comprises: a heat exchanger adjacent to the second face of the computing device for cooling outlet gas flow; a gas flow path directing air exiting the heat exchanger beneath the computing unit; a gas moving device for moving gas in the gas flow path; and a vent towards distal end of the gas flow path for providing gas flow to the inlet portion of the first face of the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Emmanuel Tong-Viet

Patent number: 9183728Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for self-detection of lost device status using device-to-device communications with one or more expected neighboring devices. A device can detect when the device itself is lost, by determining one or more expected neighboring devices for one or more time periods; monitoring a local environment for one or more of the expected neighboring devices using device-to-device communication; detecting when the device is lost based on device-to-device communication and whether a threshold criteria of the expected neighboring devices in proximity to the device for a given interval of time; and sending at least one relay message to notify an owner of the lost device. The threshold criteria comprises, e.g., whether a minimum number of expected neighboring devices are nearby or whether at least one fixed neighboring device is nearby. The device-to-device communications employ one or more of short range relay communications and low-power mesh communications.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shang Q.

Patent number: 9007763Abstract: An adjustable blocking arrangement for electronic hardware or computer racks, for preventing the undesired leakage of air through rack spaces not filled with hardware. An airflow control device is provided comprising a flexible web and a magazine adapted to receive the part of the flexible web that is not deployed. The device is adapted such that a length of the web may be deployed to sealingly block a space in the rack that is not filled with hardware modules, to prevent the flow of air through the space. The device may comprising a detection system adapted to detect the space in the rack that is not filled with hardware modules, and a processing system adapted to receive a signal from the detection system, and as a function of the signal to automatically deploy or retract the flexible web so as to sealingly block the space.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Emmanuel Tong-Viet
