Abstract: A respiratory system includes a gas supply unit and a heating and humidifying unit. The gas supply unit includes a gas supply port; the heating and humidifying unit is detachably combined with the gas supply unit. The heating and humidifying unit includes a base, an adapter and a water tank. The base includes a control element, and the adapter is combined with the base and can rotate at least 90 degrees relative to the base. The water tank is detachably combined with the base, and the water tank includes a gas inlet and a gas outlet, wherein when the water tank is combined with the base, the gas inlet penetrates through an aperture of the base to be fluidly connected to the gas supply port, and the gas outlet is fluidly connected to the adapter.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improved cooling behavior in computer systems using fan-based cooling systems. In particular, the systems and methods utilize two types of techniques can be used for providing improved cooling behavior: hardware-based techniques and software-based techniques. These techniques can be used separately or in combination.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for managing components within a server using radiofrequency communications. The methods and apparatuses disclosed employ a server having a chassis with a plurality of slots. Each slot of the plurality of slots is configured to connect a removable electronic component to the chassis. The server also includes a controller configured to manage the removable electronic components connected to the chassis. The server also includes at least one RFID reader communicatively connected to the controller. The at least one RFID reader is configured to interrogate one or more RFID tags of the removable electronic components connected to the chassis and provide information from the one or more RFID tags to the controller.

Abstract: A system and method of using a baseboard management controller (BMC) to detect a fault on a communication bus. The BMC is connected to and monitors the operation of the communication bus. The BMC automatically detects a communication bus hang and reports bus hang to the host. The BMC attempts to access the communication bus. If the BMC can access the communication bus, the BMC then resets all of the devices connected to the communication bus. The BMC then attempts to contact components connected to the devices. If a component is not accessible via its communication device, the BMC blocks the channel used by the component and reports that information. Once the BMC detects that the component has been removed, the BMC attempts to recover the channel via the I2C/SM bus for use by the computer network.
