  • Patent number: 11804199
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to technology for controlling diodes and producing colored light displays. More specifically, some embodiments of the present technology relate to controlling one or more diodes individually capable of producing multiple colors of light and producing various colors of light in said diodes. In some embodiments, a color control software instructs a set of diodes to produce smooth gradients between adjacent colors in a color sequence. In additional embodiments, a color control system instructs the set of diodes to display smooth transitions between color sequences.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10599600
    Abstract: Described herein are enhancements for deploying a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) switch in a computing enclosure. In one implementation, a PCIe switch is coupled to a plurality of hosts and at least one network interface via PCIe lanes. The PCIe switch is configured to exchange communications between the plurality of hosts and the one or more physical network interfaces and emulate, to each host of the plurality of hosts, a physical network interface. The PCIe switch is further configured to receive a communication from a first host of the plurality of hosts directed at a second host in the plurality of hosts using an emulated physical network interface for the first host, and transfer the communication to the second host as though the communication were received at an emulated physical network interface for the second host.
