  • Publication number: 20180363993
    Abstract: A cooling system 100 for directly cooling an electronic device immersed in a coolant includes a cooling tank 11 containing the coolant C, a leakage receiving portion 21 disposed between the cooling tank 11 and a floor surface so as to receive the coolant L leaked from the cooling tank 11, an additional leakage receiving portion 22 disposed to receive the coolant L overflown from the leakage receiving portion 21 which stores the leaked coolant by a volume in excess of a predetermined volume, and a passage 25 that connects the leakage receiving portions 21 and 23 for passing the overflown coolant L by the volume in excess of the predetermined volume. The system facilitates collection of the accidentally leaked coolant, and ensures to keep the low height of the device for temporarily accumulating the leaked coolant L until it is collected.

  • Patent number: 10114926
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, workflow templates are maintained, each workflow template including a predefined sequence of workflow stages associated with a particular type of medical diagnosis or process. In response to a request for processing medical image data from a user, a user identifier (ID) that identifies the user is automatically determined based on the request. At least one of the workflow templates that is specifically configured to process medical image data associated with the user is identified based on the user ID. One or more image processing operations defined by the identified workflow template are performed on the medical image data, generating a scene corresponding to an image view representing the medical image data. The scene associated with each of the workflow stages is stored in a persistent storage, where a scene includes metadata used to recreate a corresponding medical image view subsequently.
