  • VISUAL INDICATION OF A DEVICE CONNECTION SPEED
    Publication number: 20160378347
    Abstract: A method of providing visual indication of a device connection speed proceeds by determining a connection speed of the device and selecting a visual indicator representative of the connection speed. Once the appropriate indicator has been selected, the visual indicator is then displayed.
    Type: Application

  • WATER DISINFECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISINFECTION OF RECIRCULATED WATER IN A COOLING TOWER
    Publication number: 20160326024
    Abstract: A water cooling system has a cooling tower, a first conduit for supplying water from the cooling tower to at least one device to be cooled, and a second conduit fluidly connected to the cooling tower. A water disinfection apparatus has an electrolysis apparatus having an inlet an inlet fluidly connected to the second conduit and an outlet fluidly connected to the cooling tower, a conductivity sensor sensing a conductivity of water in the first conduit, an oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensor sensing an ORP level of water in the second conduit; and a power supply connected to the electrolysis apparatus. The power supply powers the electrolysis apparatus when: the conductivity of water in the first conduit is a least 1500 microsiemens; and the ORP level of water in the second conduit is less than a predetermined value. A method for disinfecting recirculated water of a cooling tower is also disclosed.

  • Device enumeration current reduction
    Patent number: 6963986
    Abstract: A method of enumerating a peripheral device preferably includes initiating operation of the device in a low-power mode. Power can be conserved, for instance, by slowing processor speed or by shutting off clocks to one or more unneeded blocks of the peripheral device during enumeration. During enumeration, a host computer preferably obtains enumeration information from the peripheral device and then uses that information to select a configuration state for operating the device following enumeration.
