Abstract: A secure biometric collection (SBC) system for a secure transaction. The system contains inter alia a storage device, an input device receiving user information of the secure transaction, a camera capturing the user's image. A fingerprint scanner scanning the user's fingerprint, a second fingerprint scanner scanning a witness' fingerprint, a camera encoder combining and hashing the user's image into combined data sets being stored in the storage device. A fingerprint encoder processes the fingerprint scans of the user and witness into fingerprint template data sets and stores the fingerprint template data sets in the storage device. A privacy encoder combines and encrypts the combined data sets and fingerprint template data sets into encrypted data sets memorializing the secure transaction. A copy of the secure transaction is produced including encrypted data sets for the user, and the storage device purges of all the user collected data once the copy is produced.

The system includes at least one of a human witness and non-human digital witness, the non-human digital witness having access to sensor inputs and software, to verify that the user is a person, and a privacy encoder to combine and encrypt the data sets into encrypted data sets memorializing the secure transaction. The system produces a secure transaction copy including encrypted data sets, and purges of all the user data collected once the copy of the secure transaction is produced.

Abstract: A system for detecting contamination in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on temperature differences between component surface temperature and fluid temperature, a previous component surface temperature and a present component surface temperature and a component surface temperature and a component surface temperature threshold value. Large differences between the component surface temperature and the fluid temperature or between the component surface temperature and a previous component surface temperature or a component surface temperature exceeding a component surface temperature threshold value may indicate contaminants in the fluid that are inhibiting the ability for the component to effectively transfer heat to the fluid. A temperature monitoring system may monitor the temperatures and communicate with a service system to apply corrective measures before the residue can cause significant damage to an information handling system.

Abstract: A system for detecting contamination in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on current leakage between two combs on a printed circuit board. A first comb is opposite a second comb, wherein each finger of the first comb is positioned between two adjacent fingers on the second comb. The combs are positioned near a heat source in the liquid portion of the fluid. As the fluid boils, contaminants are distilled out of the fluid. Acidic contaminants deposited on either comb may cause metal migration to occur, resulting in bridging between two combs. A current sensor may detect the current leakage and send a signal to allow the information handling system, the fluid, or the cooling system to be serviced before damage occurs to the information handling system.

Abstract: A system for detecting residue in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on contact resistance. A structure is formed to represent a type of connection between a component and a connector. The structure is positioned near a heat source in the two phase fluid in its liquid state. As the fluid boils, residues are deposited on the structure. An increase in the current resistance across the structure may indicate the presence of a residue or corrosion caused by the residue. Structures may be formed using materials that are similar to existing connections in the information handling system. A heating element may generate more heat than existing components such that the system detects the presence of contaminants with sufficient time to allow less expensive and less intensive corrective measures.

Abstract: A system for detecting residue in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on changes in the intensity of energy reflected off a reflective surface. An energy source is positioned at an incident angle relative to a reflective surface and an intensity sensor is positioned at a target reflected energy angle relative to the reflective surface, wherein the intensity sensor detects light or other energy reflected off the reflective surface. If residues are deposited on the reflective surface, the reflectivity of the residue will change the reflected energy angle or otherwise change the amount of energy reflected toward the sensor. A heating element may generate more heat than existing components such that the system detects the presence of residues with sufficient time to allow less expensive and less intensive corrective measures.

Abstract: A method includes, at a start time, controlling a cooling unit to start the cooling unit in a mechanical mode and controlling the cooling unit to transition, after waiting a waiting interval from the start time and over a transition interval, the cooling unit from the mechanical mode to an economizer mode. In the mechanical mode, the cooling unit receives return air, cools the return air, and releases the cooled return air as supply air. The supply air is air supplied to a cooled volume.

Transitioning the cooling unit from the mechanical mode to the economizer mode includes transitioning, over the transition interval, from receiving only the return air to receiving progressively less of the return air and progressively more of the outdoor air.
