  • Patent number: 11337331
    Abstract: Information Handling Systems (IHSs), such as rack-mounted servers, may support various types of replaceable components that are installed in bays, such as storage drives and computing nodes. Some servers are constructed using a chassis that includes a front row of bays and an inner row of bays. In embodiments, in a closed position, the front row of bays conceals the inner row of bays until the front row of bays is rotated horizontally to an open position that provides access to the inner row of bays. The front row of bays may be divided into two banks of drive bays. The left and right banks of bays may be opened separately by rotating them horizontally about hinges connecting each bank to the chassis. By opening in this manner, the inner bays can be administered safely and limiting the forces placed on the chassis and the rack.

  • Publication number: 20210059049
    Abstract: A disclosed method for manufacturing a printed circuit board includes creating multiple conductive layers, each including conductive traces for carrying high-speed data signals, and a non-round plated through power via for delivering high current from a switched-mode power source to and between the conductive layers. Creating the power via may include drilling an opening through the multiple conductive layers, the perimeter of which has a flattened oval shape, and plating the walls of the opening to a predetermined plating thickness using a conductive material. The power via may have a lower resistivity than a combined resistivity of multiple round, plated through vias that, together with required spacing between them, have the same footprint as the power via. The space occupied by the power via may be less than a required footprint for multiple round, plated through vias whose combined resistivity equals the resistivity of the power via.

  • Patent number: 10044361
    Abstract: An amplifying circuit for analog to digital converter with multi-stage conversion range is used for dividing an analog input voltage into multiple voltage ranges to perform signal amplification and attenuation according to multiple magnifications (e.g., amplify the analog input voltage with low voltage level, and attenuate the analog input voltage with high voltage level). The analog to digital converter performs analog to digital conversion to the analog input voltage with amplification or attenuation to generate a digital bit with amplification or attenuation, and then generates an output digital bit according to the digital bit and the magnification. As a result, the analog to digital converter is adaptive to the analog input voltage with high voltage level, and precision and quantization error of the analog input voltage with low voltage level can be maintained as well.
