Patent number: 9894810Abstract: In one example, a data center may be built in modular components that may be pre-manufactured and separately deployable. Each modular component may provide functionality such as server capacity, cooling capacity, fire protection, resistance to electrical failure. Some components may be added to the data center by connecting them to the center's utility spine, and others may be added by connecting them to other components. The spine itself may be a modular component, so that spine capacity can be expanded or contracted by adding or removing spine modules. The various components may implement functions that are part of standards for various levels of reliability for data centers. Thus, the reliability level that a data center meets may be increased or decreased to fit the circumstances by adding or removing components.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David Thomas Gauthier, Scott Thomas Seaton, Allan Joseph Wenzel, Cheerei Cheng, Brian Clark Andersen, Daniel Gerard Costello, Christian L. Belady, Jens Conrad Housley, Brian Jon Mattson, Stephan W. Gilges, Kenneth Allen Lundgren

Publication number: 20080232891Abstract: An input device including a keypad, the keypad comprising wrist support means and curved key area. The wrist support means of each keypad comprises a generally flat portion having a plurality of soft cushioned pads protruding from the upper surface of the flat portion. The key area is contiguous to the wrist support means such that the key area has a negative convex curve. Thus in use a portion of the key area remote the wrist support means is positioned at a lower spatial position than the portion of the key area contiguous with the wrist support means. The key area has a plurality of keys positioned on the upper surface. The keys are arranged in a series of curved rows so that a central key in each row is further from the users wrist relative to at least one of the end keys in each row.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2005Publication date: September 25, 2008Applicant: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Nuala Macklin, Damian Gerard Costello
