  • Publication number: 20190223326
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for realizing more efficient cooling for a set of computing components that may be operating as a part of a server farm in a helical structure of computing components. Arranging a rack of computing components in a helical pattern situated about a central axis member allows for helical and/or vortical air flow throughout the helical stack of racks. The airflow may be enhanced using large fans as part of an exhaust system located above the exhaust vents or situated below each stack of racks of computing components thereby increasing air flow across all computing components and dissipating heat at a faster rate.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8668368
    Abstract: An embodiment may include a stake with an elongated stake body that includes a stake top end, a stake bottom end, and a substantially rectangular portion with a width and a depth. The stake may further include an elongated transparent ornament window disposed within the stake body proximate to the stake top end which includes a portion extending at least the width and a portion extending less than the depth. The stake may further include an ornament disposed within the ornament window and an elongated illumination passage defined by the stake body that extends though the stake body from the stake top end to the ornament window. The illumination passage may have a portion abutting the ornament window having an area less than the area of the ornament window.
