  • Patent number: 10902075
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a computer-implemented method for serving content. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes identifying, using a processor, a first user and a second user among a group of users viewing a display. Next, the method includes examining, using the processor, known information about the first user and the second user. The method includes computing a content profile, using the processor, based on the known information about the first user and the second user. The method further includes selecting relevant content, using the processor, to display to the group based on the content profile and presenting, using the processor, the relevant content to the group of users.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7854547
    Abstract: A tool is disclosed, for measuring the important thermal characteristics of a unit of electronic equipment, which obtains air flow and temperature readings at both air inlet and air outlet openings of the unit without disturbing cable or wiring connections or otherwise interrupting device operation. The tool pressure sensing element is rotatable between detented positions to permit the tool to be used at both air inlet and air outlet openings. The tool air duct portion may be formed of separate duct portions to enable a single duct portion including the sensing instrumentation to be used with multiple duct portions that conform to electronic device air inlet and outlet openings to impart added flexibility to the tool.

  • Publication number: 20070221440
    Abstract: An attenuation mechanism for an electronic device is presented. The attenuation mechanism includes an outer member that has an inner member oriented axially within the outer member. The inner member has an axial twist that causes a line of sight blockage between an exterior and an interior of a housing of an electronic device when the attenuation mechanism is mounted through the housing, such that sound and electromagnetic radiation is attenuated without obstructing cooling air that is flowing through the housing.

  • Publication number: 20070172353
    Abstract: Air moving device (AMD) packaging apparatus includes an AMD carriage structure and an associated frame receiving the AMD carriage structure. The AMD carriage structure includes an AMD holder section pivotally connected to a driver section. The associated frame is mounted in a housing of a system to be cooled and includes elongated slots defining cooperating tracks for receiving the AMD carriage structure. The AMD holder section and the driver section include outwardly extending protrusions or posts slideably received within the cooperating tracks in the associated frame to position an AMD contained within the AMD holder section in an operating position within the associated frame.

  • Publication number: 20070084588
    Abstract: In a system for liquid cooling of electronics, where the electronics are subject to rotation in space, a liquid coolant storage tank includes a degassing and vortex-preventing structure to allow bubbles to float to the surface of the liquid inside the tank, and also to prevent vortices from forming near the outlet from the tank. The structure includes nested tubes or conduits. An inner conduit extends from the inlet into the tank, and its open end is covered by a second conduit with a baffle across its end, so that the flow is directed by the baffle to flow back along the outside of the inner conduit, and inside of the outer conduit. Especially at the inlet, a third conduit with large perforations surrounds the open end of the outer conduit. Smaller perforations on the inner conduit at the outlet side discourage any vortex from forming there. Reversal of the liquid flow, and the gradual increase in flow cross section prevent surging inside the tank.

  • Publication number: 20060016482
    Abstract: A novel check valve for an exhaust device is formed from a thin flexible plate. A plurality of flaps is formed in the thin flexible plate. The flaps are arranged in a vertical manner to form at least one column of flaps. A stopper is coupled to a back side of the thin flexible plate. The stopper prevents the plurality of flaps from moving towards the stopper.
