  • Patent number: 11496073
    Abstract: This description provides a system for recovering energy released by a computing unit. The system comprises a first computing unit that generates heat energy as the first computing processes information, an energy recovery unit configured to recover the heat energy generated by the first computing unit, and a second computing unit coupled to the energy the energy recovery unit. The energy recovery unit further comprise a pump configured to transport a working fluid to absorb the heat energy generated by the first computing device and a conversion device configured to convert the absorbed heat energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is passed to the second computing unit to supply power for the second computing unit to process information.

  • Patent number: 9144172
    Abstract: A number of structural modules are configured to be secured together and to be secured to a foundation. Each of the structural modules is without one or more sidewalls, such that when the structural modules are secured together they form a building structure that encloses an open region which continuously extends through interiors of the structural modules. Each of the number of structural modules is structurally formed to be independently transported. A power module is configured to be secured to one of the structural modules and to the foundation. The power module is defined as an enclosed structure and is structurally formed to be independently transported. The power module is equipped with electrical components for supplying and distributing electrical power to a pre-defined layout of data equipment to be deployed within the open region of the building structure formed by the number of structural modules.

  • Patent number: 7832709
    Abstract: A frame is pivotally connected to a chassis at a location near a first end of the frame. A jack is disposed between the chassis and the frame to enable pivoting movement of the frame relative to the chassis. A pulley is connected to the frame at a location near a second end of the frame that is opposite the first end of the frame. A winch is disposed on the frame to enable pulling of wire over the pulley. A control device enables control of the jack so as to enable positioning of the pulley that is connected to the frame.
