  • Patent number: 8907609
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a fan of a second electronic device. A first electronic device controls a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the second electronic device to return parameter values, the returned parameter values including temperature values of the second electronic device, and actual speed values of a fan of the second electronic device. The first electronic device records the returned parameter values and returned time of the returned parameter values. Upon acquiring standard speed values corresponding to the temperature values, the first electronic device draws a graph representing a relation between the actual speed values and the determined standard speed values corresponding to the returned time to monitor the fan.

  • Patent number: 8737072
    Abstract: A container data center includes a container. The container includes a top wall, two sidewalls, a first end wall, and a second end wall. Two elongated water troughs are arranged on the top of the container, near the sidewalls. The outer side plate of each water trough is lower than a top side of the corresponding inner side plate. A water receptacle is arranged near the first end plate. Pipes connect the water receptacle to the water troughs, to transfer the water in the water receptacle to the water troughs. When the water in the water troughs overflows, the water flows down the sidewalls of the container, to separate and thus protect the sidewalls from pollutants and humidity in the surrounding air.

  • Publication number: 20140082422
    Abstract: A method for an electronic device to manage test items of an object by displaying test states and marking abnormalities. The method captures an image of a state table of a finished test item displayed on a display screen of a testing device. The method further obtains a test result of the finished test item by comparing the captured image of the finished test item with a prestored standard table. When the test state of the finished test item is abnormal, the method records the captured image of the finished test item with a time index and outputs a failed message and the name of the finished test item with the time index.
