Abstract: A method for managing electrical power to a server or server system is used in a power management system. The power management system comprises a power module, a backup power module, and a server system, the method comprises setting the server system to operate under a first working mode and controlling initialization of a BMC by an initialization command. A specified pin of the BMC is measured for a logic low voltage level and the server system is set to operate under a second working mode if the specified pin of the BMC is at the logic low voltage level. In different modes, the manner of supplying power and the working parameters of the server system are adjusted.

Abstract: Lighting systems and methods for lighting fixture location mapping, for example, using a combination of photosensing readings and/or other sensors to identify a correct mapping. These systems and methods may be used to resolve ambiguities that could not be resolved using other processes, such an auto-commissioning method that identifies more than one possible mapping of the lighting fixtures to spatial locations. Such ambiguities are typically found in floor plans that are symmetrical. The systems and methods of the present invention record and utilize environmental profiles, such as ambient lighting levels and occupancy patterns, to match lighting fixtures to their respective spatial locations and provide resolution to ambiguities in an auto-commissioning method that identifies more than one possible mapping of the lighting fixtures to spatial locations.

Abstract: Lighting systems and methods for lighting fixture location mapping, for example, using a combination of photo sensing and/or other type of signaling, such as radiofrequency (RF) signaling is provided. The lighting systems may map a plurality of lighting fixtures to a plurality of spatial locations in a floor plan using the signal generating capabilities and sensors that are located within each of the lighting fixtures. The commissioning of the lighting fixtures may be automatically determined using a control system without significant manual intervention. In particular, the lighting fixtures may be mapped to their respective spatial locations by applying a heuristic analysis of strength of signals emitted and received between light fixtures and distances as provided in a building plan between spatial locations to which the light fixtures may be correlated.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate to multichannel luminaires (102, 212, 404) that employ a color coefficient matrix (CCM) that can be used to adjust an operation of the multichannel luminaires according to their contribution of light to an area (112, 402). The CCM can be generated based on images captured within the area and/or a software simulation that approximates the contribution of light from the multichannel luminaires to the area. Once the CCM has been generated, the CCM can be used to compensate control signals to each multichannel luminaire in order to provide more accurate color rendering and uniform light distribution. Furthermore, feedback from embedded sensors (206) in the multichannel luminaires and/or sensors (116, 208, 210, 418) in the area can provide further basis for compensating control signals according to the qualities of the natural and artificial light entering the area, and the effects of different surfaces (128) on the light.
