Abstract: A system is provided, which manages, by a microcontroller internal to a fan installed in a server, power data associated with the fan, wherein the fan includes two pins configured to communicate signals based on an inter-integrated circuit (I2C). During operation of the fan, the microcontroller measures a first and second amount of power consumed by the fan at a first and second time. The microcontroller transmits, via the two pins, the information to a system management entity which monitors and manages the server, wherein the system management entity controls a speed of the fan in response to receiving the measured power data and based on a net power comprising a difference between a total amount of power consumed by the server and an amount of power consumed by the fan.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for enrollment of gateway enrollment for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device management. In some examples, a client device receives a gateway management installation package from a management service. The client device installs a gateway management application to the gateway device using the installation package. Enrollment credentials are entered through a user interface generated using the gateway management application and shown on the client device. The client device instructs the gateway management application enroll the gateway device with the management service. Usage of the enrollment credentials prevents a user from being exposed to gateway credentials that authenticate communications between the gateway device and the management service.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for enrollment of gateway enrollment for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device management. In one example, the gateway device transmits an enrollment request to a management service. The enrollment request includes enrollment credentials that are entered through a user interface. The gateway device receives gateway credentials that authenticate communications with a management service. Subsequent communications transmitted from the gateway device to the management service are authenticated using the gateway credentials.

Abstract: A direct bonding method for infrared focal plane arrays, includes steps of depositing a thin adhesion layer on infrared radiation detecting material, removing a portion of the thin adhesion layer with a chemical-mechanical polishing process, forming a bonding layer at a bonding interface, and bonding the infrared radiation detecting material to a silicon wafer with the thin adhesion layer as a bonding layer. The thin adhesion layer may include SiOx, where x ranges between 1.0 and 2.0. The thickness of the thin adhesion layer to form the bonding layer is 500 angstrom or less.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a multiple-inlet turbine casing (16) for a turbine rotor (60) which comprises a first fluid supply channel (70) configured to direct a first working fluid onto the turbine rotor (60) and a second fluid supply channel (74) configured to direct a second working fluid to impart torque on the turbine rotor (60) in the same direction as the direction in which torque is imparted on the turbine rotor (60) by the first working fluid. The first working fluid is an exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine and the second fluid may be steam and the turbine may be an inverted-Brayton-cycle turbine for recovery of waste energy from the exhaust gas of said internal combustion engine. Thus, the number of turbine rotors is reduced in comparison to a system comprising a single turbine for each distinct working fluid.

Abstract: Computer networks for secure demand-driven file distribution are described. In one example, a client device receives a notification to check in for updates. In response, the client device checks in with a device services computing device on a computer network. The device services computing device determines a path list to certain cache computing devices on the computer network for receipt of the files, builds a markup file including the path list to the files, and transmits the markup file to the client device. The markup file can also include unique identifiers of the files and an encryption key for secure distribution of the files. Using the markup file, the client device can request the files, and the computer network is physically and logically arranged to distribute the files among the cache computing devices and to the client device in a secure and demand-driven manner.
