  • Patent number: 11212941
    Abstract: An equipment shelf includes at least one power supply unit (PSU) positioned in an upper region of the equipment shelf. The equipment shelf also includes at least one battery backup unit (BBU) positioned in a lower region of the equipment shelf. An airflow path extends through the equipment shelf between the upper region and the lower region. The airflow path separates the upper region of the equipment shelf from the lower region of the equipment shelf and thermally isolates the at least one PSU in the upper region from the at least one BBU in the lower region when air flows through the airflow path. Other example equipment shelves are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10473518
    Abstract: A sensing apparatus includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor includes at least one light sensitive detector. The processor determines a first control value to control a voltage differential across the at least one light sensitive detector, and compares the first control value with a reference value associated with a reference temperature. Based on the comparison, the processor provides adjustment information for adjusting at least one output of the sensing apparatus, and an operating parameter of the sensing apparatus other than the voltage differential.

  • Patent number: 9163849
    Abstract: Various methods related to air moving devices in electronic systems are disclosed. Various electronic systems including controlled air moving devices are also disclosed. Thus, one example electronic system includes an air moving device and a controller for controlling the air moving device. The controller is configured to selectively control a rotational speed of the air moving device. The controller is configured to vary the rotational speed within a range bounded by and including a first rotational speed and a second rotational speed during a time that a target rotational speed is within the range.

  • Patent number: 8893980
    Abstract: Various methods related to air moving devices in electronic systems are disclosed. Various electronic systems including controlled air moving devices are also disclosed. Thus, one example electronic system includes an air moving device, a sensor for monitoring an operating parameter of the electronic system and generating a signal representative of the operating parameter, and a controller for controlling the air moving device. The controller is configured to selectively control a rotational speed of the air moving device, to receive the signal representative of the operating parameter, and to delay changing the rotational speed of the air moving device in response to the signal representative of the operating parameter.

  • Patent number: 8747068
    Abstract: Various methods related to air moving devices in electronic systems are disclosed. Various electronic systems including controlled air moving devices are also disclosed. Thus, in one method of controlling an air moving device in an electronic system, the air moving device is operable to accelerate between rotational speeds at a maximum angular acceleration. The method includes limiting an angular acceleration of the air moving device to a first acceleration limit less than the maximum angular acceleration when changing the air moving device from a first rotational speed to a second rotational speed.

  • Publication number: 20100017381
    Abstract: Modern portable electronic devices are commercially available with ever increasing memory capable of storing tens of thousands of song, hundreds of thousands of images, and hundreds of hours of video. The traditional means of selecting and accessing an item within such devices is with a limited number of keys and requires the user to progressively work through a series of lists, some of which may be very large. Provided is a method for speech recognition that allows users to efficiently select their preferred tune, video, or other information using speech rather than cumbersome scrolling through large lists of available material. Users are able to enter search and command terms verbally to these electronic devices and users who cannot remember the correct name of the audio-visual content are supported by searches based on lyrics, tempo, riff, chorus, and so forth. Further, pseudonyms may be associated with audio-visual content by the user to ease recollection.

  • Patent number: 7584348
    Abstract: An operating system for a processor in a hardware device is configured by reading data defining a configuration of the hardware device. Based on the defined configuration of the hardware device, it is determined which operating system configuration options, from a plurality of available operating system configuration options, are valid. Then, only the valid operating system configuration options are presented to a user. The hardware device may be a fixed hardware platform, or may be a configurable hardware device such as an FPGA. The data defining the configuration of the hardware device can be read from a high level design entry tool.

  • Patent number: 6862724
    Abstract: A reconfigurable programmable logic system including a programmable logic device and an associated processor is configured using a configuration file including (a) instructions for configuring the programmable logic device as one or more peripherals to be used by the processor, and (b) a list of the peripherals to be configured in the programmable logic. The processor uses the peripheral data from the configuration file to load the appropriate drivers, create all necessary instances of the drivers and optionally to pass parameters for any necessary initial command after each driver is loaded. Optionally, each time the system is configured, any previously loaded drivers are first unloaded.
