  • Data center cooling using a heat pipe
    Patent number: 11672105
    Abstract: In one example, a heat pipe is configured to absorb and transfer heat away from ambient air of a data center to cool the ambient air circulating in the data center to cool devices of the data center, and a fluid interface is thermally coupled to the heat pipe and configured to cool the heat pipe via a coolant fluid circulating in the data center. In another example, a heat pipe configured to release transferred heat to air, and a fluid interface is thermally coupled to the heat pipe and configured to exchange heat to the heat pipe to cool a coolant fluid circulating in a data center to cool devices of the data center.
    Type: Grant

  • Power loss siren
    Patent number: 11334136
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a power management system includes a detection unit configured to detect a power interruption to a power supply. The system further includes a communication interface configured to, in response to the detected power interruption, provide a message regarding the detected power interruption. In response to the detected power interruption, a computer network switch provides notifications to a plurality of servers connected to the switch to allow the plurality of servers to prepare for a loss in power.
