  • Publication number: 20220350298
    Abstract: A build on-demand chassis with a universal bay system that can be assembled into different configurations to support different system requirements from end users includes positionable partitions and a bay support assembly for each set of devices. A controller communicates with a microcontroller unit (MCU) in each bay support assembly to determine a slot identifier and a type of device supported by the bay support assembly to provide greater flexibility in what configurations are possible. When a processor in the information handling system sends an instruction for a type of device, the controller knows the location and capabilities of the device and manages the communication.

    Abstract: A cooling system interface for system cooling of a plurality of memory modules comprises a plurality of thermal interface material (TIM) blankets and a heatsink comprising a plurality of conductive fins. A TIM blanket may be positioned on each memory module and the heatsink may be positioned relative to the array of memory modules such that a conductive fin is positioned between two adjacent memory modules and a conduction fin is positioned relative to the memory modules on each end of the array. Each TIM blanket comprises a thickness based on components on the memory module and each conduction fin has a rigidity and thickness to ensure conformal contact between the TIM blanket and a conduction fin. Slidable contact between the conduction fins and TIM blankets allows the cooling system interface to be removed for servicing the memory module.

  • Patent number: 10521525
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to improving a stochastic forecast for uncertain power generations and demands to quantify an effect on an electrical power grid. To improve the stochastic forecast, a method includes fitting marginal distributions to data of the uncertain power generation and demand by power generation and demand nodes of the electrical power grid. The power generation and demand nodes provide corresponding uncertain power generation and demand based on a renewable energy source. The method also includes determining a correlation structure between the power generation and demand nodes by transforming the data from marginal distributions to a second distribution and by fitting a multivariate time series on transformed data. The method also includes simulating multivariate stochastic forecast with an improved correlation structure.
