Eakambaram Rangaswamy Thirumalai has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Thermal control system based on nonlinear zonal fan operation and optimized fan power
    Patent number: 9360021
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a cooling manager retrieves pre-characterization data corresponding to a fan that electronic components included in a computer system. The pre-characterization data includes operational zones based upon fan power measurements and fan speed settings. The cooling manager sets the fan to a first speed setting within a first operational zone, and detects that one of the components generates a temperature change value that exceeds a specified temperature change value corresponding to the component. In turn, the cooling manager selects a second operational zone and sets the fan to a second speed setting within the second operational zone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 14, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2016
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
