  • Publication number: 20230225077
    Abstract: A self-contained mobile high performance computing platform for cryptocurrency mining is disclosed. The self-contained mobile high performance computing platform includes a mobile cabinet, which includes wheels for easy movement and placement within, for example, a warehouse facility, a garage, a basement, an office tower, or a vehicle such as a truck or van. The cabinet is configured to enclose at least one computing apparatus, which includes computing blades immersed in an oil or other dielectric fluid for immersion cooling. The computing blades are configured to be connected to respective interface boards via connectors that are located within a tank of the dielectric fluid. Each computing blade may be individually removed or replaced, thereby enabling an inoperable or low performance computing blade to be disconnected without affecting the operations of the other computing blades.

  • Patent number: 10873793
    Abstract: An apparatus for interrogating radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags within an enclosure. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises an RFID module, a first assembly comprising a processor, a second assembly comprising an RFID radiator operatively coupled to the RFID module, and a connection element coupled to the first assembly and second assembly such that the second assembly is movable relative to the first assembly between a first configuration and second configuration. The processor may be configured to interrogate RFID tags via the RFID module and RFID radiator when the second assembly is in the second configuration, and not interrogate RFID tags when the second assembly is in the first configuration. In addition, both the first assembly and the second assembly may comprise attachment components configured to removably couple its respective assembly to one or more surfaces of an enclosure.
