Patent number: 10452118Abstract: Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include determining a required electrical power level for one or more computer elements. Upon selecting a first value indicating a first electrical power level that is less than the required electrical power level, the first value is conveyed to a first power supply unit (PSU), so that the first PSU delivers, to the one or more computer elements, the first electrical power level. A second value is selected that indicates a second electrical power level that is different from the first value, the second value indicating a difference between the required electrical power level and the first electrical power level. The second value is conveyed to a second PSU, so that upon receiving the second value, the second PSU delivers, to the one or more computer elements, the second electrical power level.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Yaacov Frank, Mudi M.

Publication number: 20100203486Abstract: The invention presents an apparatus, which measures, accumulates and stores the amount of the physical and social activity of the user. The activities are converted into points, which the user can exchange for beneficial goods. The physical activity is measured by a sensor, whose output signal is related to the user movement. The social activity is measured by means of estimating the number of similar apparatuses in the vicinity of the user. The present invention's goal is encouraging social and physical activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2009Publication date: August 12, 2010Inventor: Igor Nabutovsky
