  • Patent number: 11928000
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a management controller that may determine average power consumption of a processor, and determine average power measurement at a power supply unit. If the average power consumption of the processor does not match the average power measurement at the power supply unit, then the system may calibrate the average power consumption of the processor to match the average power measurement at the power supply unit.

  • Publication number: 20230418349
    Abstract: An information handling system includes first and second power supplies, a chassis BMC, and a sled. The power supplies each assert a power good indication when the power supply is providing power on a power rail. The chassis BMC receives the power good indications and asserts a loss of redundancy indication when one of the power good indications is deasserted. The sled includes a sled BMC and a host processing system. The sled receives the loss of redundancy indication and in response, asserts a processor over temperature indication to the host processing system. When both power good indications are asserted, the chassis BMC directs the sled BMC to operate the host processing system in accordance with a normal operation sled current limit. When one of the power good indications is deasserted, the chassis BMC directs the sled BMC to operate the host processing system in accordance with a reduced power operation sled current limit.

  • Patent number: 11513999
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for archiving image, audio, and text data with metadata encapsulation in a client-server storage library is described. The server receives and holds the images, audio, or text to be archived in an image, audio or text logical partition which includes a directory of the images, audio, or text. The information is encapsulated in a metadata wrapper and stored in the library as a closed image, audio, or text file along with a closed copy of the directory. The closed image, audio, or text directory is also stored in the client. The images may be encapsulated in MXF, DICOM, Tape Archive (TAR) or GZIP formats. The storage library may have magnetic tapes, magnetic disks or optical disks as storage media.

  • Publication number: 20220019229
    Abstract: Facilitating autonomously linking movement of objects in four dimensions in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can include identifying, by a system comprising a memory and a processor, a first portion of a first traversal route grid associated with a first object and a second portion of a second traversal route grid associated with a second object. The identifying can be based on the first portion and the second portion being determined to be overlapping portions during a same time period. The method also can include linking, by the system, during the same time period, a first movement of the first object and a second movement of the second object across the overlapping portions.

  • Publication number: 20220018668
    Abstract: Facilitating implementation of a multitude of virtual paths for moving an object in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can include generating, by a system that includes a memory and a processor, a traversal route grid for travel of an object between a source node and a target node. The traversal route grid can include multiple alternative route segments between the source node and the target node. The method also can include assigning, by the system, respective values to alternative route segments of the multiple alternative route segments. The respective values can be tailored for the object and determined as a function of a requested time of arrival at the target node. Further, the method can include facilitating, by the system, the travel of the object along the group of alternative route segments.

  • Patent number: 10754408
    Abstract: A power supply unit (PSU) mismatch detection system that includes a plurality of PSU slots configured to couple to a PSU and transmit power to an auxiliary power rail (APR) and a main power rail (MPR), a controller that is coupled to the MPR and the PSU slots and configured to perform a PSU mismatch check on each PSU coupled to the PSU slots, and a programmable logic device (PLD) that is coupled to the APR, the MPR, and each of the plurality of PSU slots. The PLD enables transmission of power to the MPR from a first PSU coupled to a first PSU slot, receives an indication that the controller has completed the PSU mismatch check, determines valid PSU slots using the results of the PSU mismatch check, and enables the transmission of power to the main power rail from the valid PSUs slots.
