  • Patent number: 11977669
    Abstract: Methods and systems for securing data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may be operably connected to other devices via ports. When operably connected, some devices connected via the ports may cause undesired actions to be performed. To limit physical access to the ports, a security apparatus may be used to lock the ports. The security apparatus may transition between states where it may be inserted into openings for the ports and may be locked to the openings for the ports. When so locked, physical access to the ports may be limited.

  • Publication number: 20240130091
    Abstract: Techniques for mitigating loss of vaporized working fluid in a two-phase immersion cooling system may be implemented using one or more supplemental condensers that facilitate condensation of vaporized working fluid when the immersion tank is open, and one or more vapor collection points that are in fluid communication with at least one supplemental condenser. One or more fluid displacement devices may be configured to create suction pressure at the one or more vapor collection points. One or more vents may be positioned in the door. The one or more vents may be configured to permit movement of air from outside the immersion tank into an interior portion of the immersion tank without permitting loss of vaporized working fluid. A directional blowing device may be configured to blow a gaseous substance against a computing device in a downward direction as the computing device is being pulled upward out of the immersion tank.

  • Patent number: 11956930
    Abstract: A liquid-submersible thermal management system includes a shell, a heat-generating component, a working fluid, and at least one heat-dispersing element. The shell defines an immersion chamber where the heat-generating component is located in the immersion chamber. The working fluid is positioned in the immersion chamber and at least partially surrounds the heat-generating component so the working fluid receives heat from the heat-generating component. The at least one heat-dispersing element is positioned on exterior surface of the shell to conduct heat from the shell into the heat-dispersing element.

  • Patent number: 11922497
    Abstract: A method employs consumer permissioned financial data to generate an updated credit score following a consumer authorization to access to at least one demand deposit account of the consumer for use in generating the credit score for the consumer. The consumer permissioned financial data may be sourced from any one of a plurality of aggregators where the aggregators employ different data structures for the financial data. The financial data is processed to automatically normalize the data received from an aggregator by applying a common classification system across the plurality of aggregators to classify a first set of data fields; and automatically, regardless of whether an updated credit score is advantageous for the consumer and independent of any further consumer permission, generating the updated credit score using a combination of credit file data for the consumer and the financial data received from the aggregator.
