Abstract: An information handling system includes a motherboard including a connector interface, and a liquid assisted air cooling (LAAC) module. The LAAC module includes a coolant pump to circulate coolant to one or more components in the information handling system, a leak sensor to detect whether the coolant is leaking, and a processor. The processor detects whether the coolant pump is operating properly. In response to the coolant pump not operating properly, the processor provides a first tachometer signal on a particular pin of the connector interface of the motherboard. The processor further monitors a voltage level received from the leak sensor. A first voltage level indicates a leak being detected, and a second voltage level indicates no leak being detected. In response to the voltage level being the first voltage level, the processor provides a second tachometer signal on the particular pin of the connector interface of the motherboard.

Abstract: A control system operable to train a control tuner to generate temperature setpoint tracking improvements for a thermal processing system is provided. In one example implementation, temperature setpoint tracking improvements are achieved by generating system controller parameter adjustments based on a difference between a simulated workpiece temperature estimate and an actual workpiece temperature estimate. For example, a system model can generate a simulated workpiece temperature estimate simulating an actual workpiece temperature estimate, and based on the difference between the simulated and actual workpiece temperature estimates, generate clone controller parameter adjustments. The clone controller parameter adjustments can be used to generate system controller parameter adjustments, which can improve temperature setpoint tracking for the thermal processing system.

Abstract: A numerical controller executes a system program. While executing the system program, the numerical controller executes a sub-program. On the basis of the execution of the sub-program, the numerical controller controls position-controlled shafts of a machine tool controlled by the numerical controller. The sub-program contains instruction sets which are retrieved sequentially one after the other by the numerical controller. The numerical controller only executes the retrieved instruction sets when the instruction sets comply with permitted boundary conditions. Otherwise, the instruction sets are not executed. Before executing the sub-program and while executing the system program, the numerical controller receives information defining the permitted boundary conditions via an interface protected from unauthorized access.
