  • Patent number: 11044165
    Abstract: Provided is a device, including: a power supply comprising: a battery configured to output direct current (DC) power at a first voltage and a first current; a battery charger coupled to the battery and configured to charge the battery; a power-converter configured to receive DC power from the battery and convert the DC power to output DC power at a second voltage and a second current, the second voltage being less than half the first voltage and the second current being greater than twice the first current; and an interface to couple output power from the power-converter to a bus-bar power interface of a rack configured to hold computing equipment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 22, 2021
    Assignee: Vapor IO Inc.

  • Patent number: 10432473
    Abstract: Provided is a method of localizing rack-mounted computing devices, the method comprising: receiving, with a direct current (DC) power bus or via an Ethernet control network or data network, a request from a control unit for a rack computing device location; generating, with a sensor, output signals conveying information related to a location of the rack-mounted computing device; and sending, with the direct current (DC) power bus or via an Ethernet control network or data network, location information of the rack-mounted computing device.
