Abstract: Enclosing arrangements of racks of computing devices fully encloses a space, either solely by the racks themselves, or in conjunction with structural features, such as walls and doors. The enclosed space can be either a hot aisle, whose hot air is vented out by fans positioned in at least one vertical extremity of the enclosed space, such as the floor, or ceiling, or it can be a cold aisle, whose cold air is pumped in by those fans. To maintain proper pressurization across a vertical cross-section of the enclosed space, specific ones of the computing devices have their fans adjusted based on their vertical position within the racks or have passive airflow adjustments, such as impedance screens. Computing devices can draw or vent air from their sides, taking advantage of the interstitial space between the racks provided by the enclosing arrangement.

Abstract: Transmit equalization over high speed digital communication paths may be compensated in a receiver for a probe on that path. In one example, a probe input provides a signal from an electronic communications path, the signal having been processed by a transmit equalizer. A filter circuit processes the signal to compensate for the transmit equalizer, and a decoder decodes the processed signal and produces an output for use by test equipment.

Abstract: Attributes of a data set to be employed in generating a predictive model are analyzed based on entropy, chi-square, or similar statistical measure. A target group of samples exhibiting one or more desired attributes is identified, then remaining attribute values for the target group are compared to corresponding attribute values for the whole sample population. A subset of all available attributes is then selected from those attributes which exhibit, when comparing attribute values of target group samples to attribute values for the whole sample population, the greatest relative difference or divergence. This subset is employed to generate the predictive model. Efficiency in generating the predictive model and the accuracy of the resulting predictive model is improved, since fewer attributes are employed and less computational resources are required.
