Abstract: A server system includes a common power bus, a power supply to provide direct current (DC) power through the common power bus, at least one node including a processor to receive the DC power through the common power bus, a transmitter capacitive coupled to the common power bus to transmit a power information signal from the power supply through the common power bus, and at least one receiver capacitive coupled to the common power bus to receive the power information signal transmitted by the transmitter and to provide the received power information signal to the at least one node. A plurality of buffers respectively coupled between the common power bus and each of the power supply and the at least one node provide path separation for high frequency and low frequency currents.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of cores each to independently execute instructions, a plurality of graphics engines each to independently perform graphics operations; and, a power control unit coupled to the plurality of cores to control power consumption of the processor, where the power control unit includes a power excursion control logic to limit a power consumption level of the processor from being above a defined power limit for more than a duty cycle portion of an operating period. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A processor is described that includes a quick signal path from an input of the processor to logic circuitry within the processor. The input is to receive a fast throttle down signal. The logic circuitry is to throttle down a rate at which the processor issues instructions for execution in response to the fast throttle down signal. The quick signal path is to impose practicably minimal propagation delay of the fast throttle down signal within the processor.

Abstract: A power system is disclosed for receiving dual alternating current sources and delivering direct current to drive a load. The power system comprises four power supplies and two transfer switch modules, any of which may be removed and replaced without disabling the power system. Three of the power supplies deliver current to drive the load while the fourth is redundant. A transfer switch control circuit activates relays within the transfer switch modules, in response to a change in the voltage maintained by one or both AC sources. As long as one of the AC sources maintains a voltage within a predetermined voltage range, three of the power supplies deliver current to drive the load.

Abstract: Process for preparing organosilicon compounds having silicon-bonded groups containing olefinic unsaturation by reaction of a silicon compound having SiH groups with a diene having at least 5 carbon atoms and in which the unsaturation is located at the terminal carbon atoms. The process is carried out in the presence of a catalyst which has been prepared by reacting (i) an inorganic solid having surface reactive groups, (ii) an organosilicom compound having a group reactive with the inorganic solid and a group containing nitrogen and/or sulphur and (iii) a platinum compound or complex PtLb in which L is a ligand.Products have reduced content of isomers resulting from migration of double bond to internal position.

Abstract: A textile treating composition, useful as a composition for the softening of textiles during the rinse cycle of a laundry operation, comprises a cationic surfactant which is substantive to water rinse on textiles and a polydiorganosiloxane having at least one amido containing substitutent, preferably of the formula ##STR1## where R is an alkylene group. The composition is preferably utilized in the form of an aqueous dispersion. A process for treating textile fabrics is also described.Textile fabrics when treated with this composition exhibit a less greasy feel than prior art textile fabrics and also have an improved rewet time.

Abstract: Novel organosiloxanes containing units of the formula ##STR1## in which Q represents a divalent group composed of carbon and hydrogen, and optionally oxygen or sulphur, and R represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group, the organosiloxanes also containing at least two silicon-bonded substituents selected from hydrogen atoms, alkoxy groups and alkoxyalkoxy groups. The organosiloxanes can be applied to textile fibres, optionally in conjunction with crosslinking agents and catalysts, to impart thereto resistance to soiling by oily substances.

Abstract: Compositions curable by radiation e.g. UV radiation are disclosed and claimed which comprise an organosiloxane having at least two siloxane units including groups --RSH, an organosiloxane having at least two siloxane units including ethylcyclohexenyl groups, and a photoinitiator. The compositions cure on exposure to UV radiation and may be used to produce on a variety of substrates coatings which are of reduced odor. Also, disclosed and claimed is a method of treating a substrate which comprises applying a coating of such compositions and irradiating the coating. Examples given refer to production of coatings on paper substrates to provide cured coatings.
