Publication number: 20260302821Abstract: A system including at least a server, a bus bar, a power shelf and a power regulator. The power shelf can be configured to provide a direct current (DC) power to the server via the bus bar. The power regulator can be configured to receive a load signal from the power shelf, where the load signal can represent a load status of the power shelf. The power regulator can be further configured to, based on the load signal, regulate power between a battery and the bus bar to control a slew rate of the DC power on the bus bar, where the battery can be a part of the power regulator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2025Publication date: October 1, 2026Applicant: AMD Design, LLCInventor: Brian GRIFFITH

Patent number: 10418850Abstract: A power supply system includes at least one power supply module and at least one redundant power supply module. A power supply module may include a charging resistor in parallel with an OR-ing device to keep all filter capacitors charged as long as at least one power supply module remains operational. This may avoid current spikes at turn on and may enable the redundant module to turn on without using soft start.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Bill Carter, Brian Griffith, Viktor Vogman

Patent number: 10214294Abstract: A method and system for predicting the potential for icing conditions on an outer surface of an airborne aircraft. Such a method and system may predict in real-time the potential for icing conditions on an outer surface of a wing of an autonomous airborne aircraft using observed temperature and relative humidity measurements, either jointly, or also in combination with at least one of (1) an output from at least one additional sensor relevant to the prediction of aircraft icing conditions and (2) a modeled parameter relevant to the prediction of aircraft icing conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Blue Storm Associates, Inc.Inventors: Michael Gauthier, Brian Griffith, Donna Blake, Mary Lockhart

Publication number: 20100077238Abstract: An energy efficient power supply system is disclosed. The energy efficient power supply system comprises a plurality of power supply units and the power supply system may be coupled to the control logic. The control logic may be coupled to the power monitor unit. The power monitor unit may determine a power consumption value, which may represent power requirement of a power consuming system such as a computer system. The control logic may determine the power supply units of the plurality of power supply units that are to be activated to provide power to match the power requirement. The control logic may identify the power supply units that may be activated to operate at a maximum efficiency value while providing power specified by the power consumption value.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2008Publication date: March 25, 2010Applicant: WISCONSIN ALUMNI RESEARCH FOUNDATIONInventors: Viktor D.

Publication number: 20070034524Abstract: A maskant for use in an electrochemical stripping operation is provided. The maskant comprises an electrically conductive member, preferably one formed from a titanium based material, placed about a trailing edge of an airfoil portion of a turbine engine component. A method for removing a coating from a turbine engine component is also provided. The method comprises the steps of placing a maskant formed from an electrically conductive material, preferably a titanium based material, adjacent a trailing edge of an airfoil portion of the component, immersing the turbine engine component and the maskant into a bath, and electrochemically stripping the coating from unmasked portions of the turbine engine component.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2005Publication date: February 15, 2007Inventors: Curtis Riewe, Brian Griffith
