  • Publication number: 20250115419
    Abstract: A shipping container connector includes a first latch unit, a second latch unit and a pulling rope unit. The first latch unit has a first body member, a first latch portion. The first body member has two side walls cooperatively defining a mounting space. One of the side walls has a threading hole. The second latch unit is disposed in the mounting space, and includes a second body member, and a spring member. The pulling rope unit extends through the threading hole, and has an end fixed to the second latch unit, and an opposite end disposed outside of the threading hole. When the pulling rope unit is pulled, the second latch unit is driven to move relative to the first latch unit from a locked position to a released position, where the spring member accumulates a biasing force for biasing the second latch unit towards the locked position.

  • Publication number: 20250062621
    Abstract: A system includes at least one server and a power supply having multiple power supply units. After system boot-up, all power supply units in the power supply are turned on for supplying power to the at least one server. Next, the maximum output power value of the power supply and the conversion efficiency table containing the relationship between the loading rate and the conversion efficiency of the power supply are acquired, and the real-time conversion efficiency of the power supply is calculated. When it is determined based on the real-time conversion efficiency and the conversion efficiency table of the power supply that the power supply is not currently operating with an optimized conversion efficiency, one or more power supply units in the power supply are turned off or turned on according to a predetermined rule.
