Abstract: According to examples, a heated system may include a heat generating device, a temperature sensor to detect temperature in the heated system, and a controller. The controller may store temperatures detected by the temperature sensor over time and based on a determination that the temperature in the heated system has reached a predefined temperature value, stop application of power to the heat generating device. The controller may also calculate a rate of change of the stored temperatures corresponding to a predefined period of time prior to the application of power to the heat generating device being stopped, may determine a seeding value for a control mechanism of the heat generating device based on the calculated rate of change, and based on aa determination that a predefined condition has occurred, control the control mechanism to apply power to the heat generating device beginning with the determined seeding value.

The fan has a rear longitudinal aperture, for the emission of a stream of air toward the outside, and also comprises an air suction and distribution unit, and a channeling element (20) positioned in proximity to the longitudinal aperture (16). The channeling element allows to divert the stream of air (W) so that it is conveyed toward a front part of the fan (10), at least partly following a profile (40) of an external surface (22) of the main body (12).

Abstract: A live migration/high availability system includes a first computing system having a first SCP subsystem coupled to first computing system components and a first hypervisor subsystem that provides a first virtual machine. Each time the first SCP subsystem receives snapshot commands from the hypervisor subsystem, it retrieves respective SCP component state information that was not retrieved in response to a previous snapshot command from each first SCP component included in the first SCP subsystem, and uses the respective SCP component state information to generate a respective SCP subsystem snapshot based on that snapshot command. The first SCP subsystem then transmits the SCP subsystem snapshots to a second SCP subsystem in a second computing system, and the second SCP subsystem uses the SCP subsystem snapshots to allow a second hypervisor subsystem on the second computing system to provide a second virtual machine that operates the same as the first virtual machine.

Abstract: A method includes mapping a monitor setting to a shortcut key associated with a human interface device, and translating the monitor setting of a first monitor into binary data based on a lookup table. The method may also generate a human interface device report; embed the binary data in the human interface device report, and store the human interface device report with the binary data in the human interface device. The method may also detect invocation of the shortcut key using the human interface device, match an identifier in the human interface device report associated with the shortcut key; and retrieve the binary data based on the identifier. The method may also transmit the binary data to a second monitor.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the column decoder of a PCM device is divided into two portions that can be governed independently of one another, and the driving signals of the two portions are configured so as to guarantee comparable capacitive loads at the two inputs of a sense amplifier in both of the operations of single-ended reading and double-ended reading. In particular, during single-ended reading, the sense amplifier has a first input that receives a capacitive load corresponding to the direct memory cell selected, and a second input that receives a capacitive load associated to a non-selected complementary memory cell.

Abstract: A flexible RAID system can expand by iteratively adding disks to a disk cluster. The disks may be added individually or in groups. Spare capacity is distributed over multiple disks within a cluster. Clusters are created, grown, and divided with predictable RAID member distribution patterns. Cluster validation is performed based on the patterns.

An action is performed based on the identifying information.

Abstract: When configured, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) can be used to identify new beams. If CSI-RS based monitoring fails to identify new beams, and no other reference signals (RS) are used for beam management, the user equipment cannot identify a new beam. However, instead of using a 4-step random access channel (RACH) procedure for beam recovery request transmission, a modified 2-step contention-based RACH procedure can saves overhead and reduce latency associated with the 4-step procedure.

The endless belt rotates about the belt roller which extends in a longitudinal direction. The steering member is located inside the endless belt. The tilting mechanism is operably coupled to a center portion of the steering member. The link mechanism is operably coupled to the tilting mechanism and operates the tilting mechanism so that the steering member is tilted in response to a displacement of the endless belt in the longitudinal direction of the belt roller.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a power generating system having at least one power generating subsystem connected to a point of interconnection (POI). Accordingly, the subsystem controller of the power generating subsystem obtains a first data signal indicative of an electrical parameter at the POI and a second data signal indicative of the electrical parameter at the generating subsystem. The second data signal has a higher fidelity than the first data signal. The second data signal is utilized by the subsystem controller to generate a first modeled value for the electrical parameter at the POI which compensates for the lower-fidelity first data signal. The subsystem controller generates a setpoint command for the power generating subsystem based, at least in part, on the first modeled value for the electrical parameter.
