Abstract: A method of on-demand energy delivery to an active suspension system is disclosed. The suspension system includes an actuator body, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, a plurality of sensors, an energy storage facility, and a controller. The method includes disposing an active suspension system in a vehicle between a wheel mount and a vehicle body, detecting a wheel event requiring control of the active suspension; and sourcing energy from the energy storage facility and delivering it to the electric motor in response to the wheel event.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for management and migration of functions or processes between two or more domains. In one or more exemplary embodiments, the functions or processes comprise virtual machines (VMs), and the methods and apparatus provide improved efficiency and reduced latency for such VM migrations between a first virtualized environment (e.g., a virtual configuration space or VDI) and a second virtualized environment by, e.g., enabling the first and second virtualized environments to operate simultaneously, for at least a period of time. In one variant, the methods and apparatus provide for enhanced data message pause functionality.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for managing power consumption of a server have been disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes allowing a user to set a power management policy on a server, monitoring power consumption of a plurality of blades in the server, and automatically managing power consumption of the server in response to the power consumption of the plurality of blades based on the power management policy set by the user. Other embodiments have been claimed and described.

Abstract: A system that may optionally be partitioned into multiple domains is disclosed. Each domain is capable of independently powering on, executing a firmware program, and loading an operating system, including a legacy operating system, as well as running an application program that is distinct from programs running on another domain. Interrupts, including boot interrupts, reset handlers, and inter-chassis communications are initialized differently, depending on whether the system is to be partitioned or not. The cost of redundant hardware and/or firmware is substantially avoided, yet the system fully supports multiple domains.
