  • Patent number: 10099893
    Abstract: A communication system includes a host node and a plurality of network nodes. The host node has a processor, a non-transitory computer memory, a host receiver, and a host output select line. Each of the plurality of network nodes has an input select line, an output select line, and a tri-state transceiver. The host node and the plurality of network nodes are daisy chained such that the input select line of one of the plurality of network nodes is coupled to the output select line of the preceding node. The tri-state transceiver of each of the plurality of network nodes is activated when the input select line of that node receives a token from the output select line of the preceding node.

  • Patent number: 7382613
    Abstract: A computer system comprising a chassis supporting a processor, memory, and a power supply. An inlet allows air to flow into the chassis and an outlet allows air to flow out of the chassis. An air mover is operable to generate an airflow through said chassis between the inlet and the outlet and in thermal communication with the processor, memory, and power supply. The air mover is disposed external to said chassis.
