Abstract: A space creating shower liner can have a window with a hoop fin rotatably and removably engaging a shower rod, a plurality of stiffening folds providing partial stiffness to the window, and a height less than a distance from the shower rod to a tub. Further, a liner can be removably engaged to the window, comprising a liner height less than the distance from the shower rod to the tub. The hoop fin causes the window and the liner to rotate about the shower rod, and the height and the liner height is greater than or equal to the distance from the shower rod to the tub.

Abstract: An example electrical connector includes a magnetic core embedded in the overmold and encircling conductive paths therein and a Hall-effect sensor embedded in the overmold and configured to sense a magnetic field of the magnetic core. The Hall-effect sensor generates an output that indicates whether or not the supply current flowing through the connector matches the return current flowing through the connector, and this output may be used to detect stray-current faults in which current bypasses the connector to return via alternative paths such as through a device chassis. The connector may include one or more supply wires embedded in the overmold, one or more return wires embedded in the overmold, one or more supply terminals embedded in the overmold and terminating the supply wires, and one or more return terminals embedded in the overmold and terminating the return wires.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing thermal protection to a power backplane printed circuit board. A distributed hotspot detection grid is included in the printed circuit board, the distributed hotspot detection grid comprising a plurality of passive temperature sensors spread across the printed circuit board to measure temperature increases. The plurality of passive temperature sensors are connected to a detection circuit for comparing signals from the passive temperature sensors to a reference signal. If the temperature increases on the PCB, electrical characteristics of at least one passive temperature sensor will change, resulting in a change of the input signal to the detection circuit. When the threshold is exceeded (indicating a potential short circuit or hotspot), the detection circuit outputs a shut down signal to the one or more power supplies connected to the of the backplane printed circuit board, to avoid catastrophic damage to the printed circuit board.

Abstract: A shower liner system configured to engage a shower rod having a rib with a strut slidably engaging the shower rod and a panel disposed approximately perpendicular to the strut having a top end and a bottom end. A liner can include a waterproof body with a top header disposed approximate the shower rod and having an engagement point, and a second header disposed away from the first header toward the floor. The top end of the panel engages the first header and the second end of the panel engages the second header. The rib is configured to hang at least a portion of the liner at an angle to the shower rod.

Abstract: Various examples described herein provide for determining a first data input/output (I/O) type of a computing device module and a second data I/O type of an I/O switch module, where the computing device module and the I/O switch module are coupled through a backplane system that includes a retimer. In response to the first data I/O type matching the second data I/O type, a connection between the computing device module and the I/O switch module may be permitted or prevented via the retimer.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a server node shutdown. For example, a system includes a control module and a secondary power supply. The control module includes a detect engine to detect an even that triggers a sequenced shutdown of a server node and prevent execution of the sequenced shutdown and execution of a data transfer. The control module also includes an initiate engine to initiate a data backup process, by a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the server node, to write data from a volatile memory location of the server node to a non-volatile memory location of the server node. The secondary power supply is to support the data backup process.

Abstract: A method for balancing air flow impedance within an enclosure. The method includes determining a configuration of each hardware module of a plurality of hardware modules arranged in a housing of the enclosure. The method also includes determining impedance settings for a plurality of adjustable air flow impedance elements within the housing, based at least in part on the configurations of the plurality of hardware modules, that will balance air flow impedances of the plurality of hardware modules. The method further includes setting the plurality of adjustable air flow impedance elements according to the determined impedance settings.

Abstract: In one example, a processor may include a processor core with a central processing unit as well as a processor cache separate from the processor core. The processor may also include flushing circuitry. The flushing circuitry may identify a power loss event for the processor. In response, the flushing circuitry may selectively power the processor by providing power to the processor cache but not to the processor core. The flushing circuitry may further flush data content of the processor cache to a non-volatile memory separate from the processor.
