Abstract: A platform embedded in an electrical cable that stores and transmits data or information related to the electrical cable is designed. The embedded platform includes a non-volatile memory element to store product data describing at least one of electrical characteristics and certifications of the electrical cable. The platform also includes a current detector to detect a current that flows in the electrical cable based on a magnetic field generated by the current. The platform further includes a communication circuit to transmit at least one of the stored product data and information related to the detection of the current to a remote device.

Abstract: Power consumption data for a server and temperature data from a location containing the server are received. It is determined that variation in the power consumption data exceeds a first threshold level. It is determined, in response to determining variation in the power consumption data exceeds the first threshold level, variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level. It is determined, in response to determining variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level, variation in the power consumption data follows a cyclic pattern. The server is identified as idle in response to determining the variation in the power consumption data follows the cyclic pattern.
