Publication number: 20140164669Abstract: In a data center, components of a server are located on a different circuit board than the processor. For example, components such as a network interface controller, storage devices, power supply, and memory are located on one or more circuit boards different than the circuit board on which the processor is located. Having server components on different circuit boards allows the components to be updated on different schedules, reducing resource consumption caused from tying component updates to processor updates. Locating server components on separate server boards also allows virtualization of server components included in a server rack.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2012Publication date: June 12, 2014Inventors: Giovanni Coglitore, Amir Michael, Jimmy Williams, Matt Corddry

Patent number: 6776562Abstract: A power feed attachment that has a coupling structure to couple it to a hand held drill. A double-acting cylinder, which has a piston and a rod, and is fixedly coupled to the coupling structure. A two-position valve assembly is configured for directing a pressurized fluid to the double-acting cylinder. When the two-position valve assembly is in a first position is directs a fluid to a first side of the piston moving the piston to a first position. When the two-position valve assembly is in the second position it directs the pressurized fluid to a second side of the piston to move the piston to a second position. An arm is coupled to the piston. A control mechanism having a housing and a control rod, wherein the control rod is movable within the housing of the control mechanism between an extended position and a retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2001Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: James L.
