Patent number: 10251315Abstract: One feature pertains to cooling of a high density array of non-volatile memory mass storage devices within a computer enclosure. A coolant is moved through the enclosure through two separate air paths, each serving approximately half of the mass storage devices. The two air paths are interleaved in a central duct ported to a frontal and a rear plenum. The central duct contains two groups of fans with a flow axis perpendicular to the plane of the server enclosure but with opposite flow direction with the two groups vertically offset relative to each other. The two paths are separated from each other through dividers. Both paths intake coolant from the cold isle and exhaust the coolant to the hot isle. The non-volatile memory mass storage devices include electromechanical and solid state devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: SANMINA CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew Phillip Mitchell, Eugene McCabe, Ritesh Kumar, Donald Chong Lee, Franz Michael Schuette

Publication number: 20050055592Abstract: In a computer system having a device and a communications link for communicating with the device. A method for dynamically managing power consumption by the computer system comprises associating a particular device identifier with the device. Communications are monitored over the communications link to determine whether the communications include the particular device identifier. A clock input is withheld from the device when the communications do not include the particular device identifier. Clock input is provided to the device only when the communications include the particular device identifier. The clock input causes the device to transition from a non-operational power conservative state to an operational state wherein the device consumes more power than in the non-operational state. A performance requirement is established for a task to be executed. Clock frequency is dynamically controlled according to the performance requirement established for the task being executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: March 10, 2005Inventors: Francisco Velasco, Xuyen Phung, Phillip Mitchell, Henry Fung

Patent number: 5229085Abstract: In gold and/or silver cyanide leaching-adsorption processes employing solid adsorbents such as activated charcoal, the overall efficiency in the recovery of gold and/or silver from ores or the like is greatly increased by contacting the cyanide slurry containing the gold and/or silver, with oxygen gas instead of normal air. A generally pure oxygen gas can be bubbled into a vessel containing the slurry, and a cover (e.g. a floating cover) may be provided on the vessel to reduce the oxygen transfer out of the solution and to facilitate pressurization of the system with an oxygen atmosphere. The procedures of the invention are applicable to carbon-in-pulp (CIP), and carbon-in-leach (CIL) processes and related processes using resins. Deaeration of the ore slurry can be practiced prior to the introduction of the oxygen.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1988Date of Patent: July 20, 1993Assignee: Kamyr, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Brison, Carl L. Elmore, Phillip Mitchell

Patent number: 4955482Abstract: In carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) processes, especially those utilizing pure oxygen instead of normal air to increase the overall efficiency of the cyanide leaching-adsorption process in the recovery of gold and/or silver from ores, the screen within each tank which surrounds the slurry outlet is kept clean. The cleaning action is accomplished by linearly reciprocating the screen first slowly in one direction, and then quickly in another (to cause back flushing); or by rotating a cleaning rotor on the inside of a cylindrical screen. The cleaning rotor may be connected to the same shaft as an agitator disposed above a draft tube within the tank. The screen surface is tapered in its direction of movement, and during movement has a tendency to transport and concentrate the carbon (charcoal) particles at the far end of the slow stroke, and the concentrated particles can be withdrawn and recirculated to other tanks in the system.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1989Date of Patent: September 11, 1990Assignee: Kamyr, Inc.Inventors: Carl L. Elmore, Phillip Mitchell

Patent number: 4807854Abstract: A rotatable leaching solution distribution arm is carried on a central chamber member and disposed in a tank at an elevation above another rotatable arm also carried by the member for distribution of a washing solution into the tank. The leaching solution distribution arm has discrete conduits terminating in corresponding outlets along the arm together with flow control devices accessible externally of the tank for each conduit so that the flow from each outlet into the tank can be monitored and adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1987Date of Patent: February 28, 1989Assignee: Kamyr, Inc.Inventor: Phillip Mitchell

Patent number: 4721526Abstract: A method and system for the percolation leaching of gold and silver ores applies a cyanide leaching liquid to a pile of gold and silver ore. Heap leaching, vat leaching, or the like may specifically be practiced. The cyanide leaching liquid is applied to the pile by spraying, flooding, or via a foam of oxygen gas and cyanide liquid on top of the pile. Gold and silver are recovered from the pregnant liquor. The leach rate is increased and/or the recovery of gold and silver from the ore is increased by supplying to the pile a gas containing oxygen at a significantly higher percentage than in ambient air (e.g. pure oxygen gas). The oxygen gas may be supplied to the leaching liquid, and/or into the pile itself (as with a plurality of perforated pipes adjacent the bottom of the pile).Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1986Date of Patent: January 26, 1988Assignee: Kamyr, Inc.Inventors: Carl L.

Patent number: 4319311Abstract: A portable lighting system which includes a stand having an adjustable effective length which positions lights carried on a frame at a predetermined vertical position with respect to a supporting surface. The frame is releasably secured to the stand and can readily be set up and dismantled for transport in a compact space. Lights carried by the frame include a new and simple technique for attaching the gelatine filter holders, and may be connected to a foot operated control box which includes switches actuated to energize preselected lights or groups of lights. The energized lights or preselected energized lights can be intensity modulated with a foot operated dimmer while leaving the operator's hands free to play a musical instrument.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1979Date of Patent: March 9, 1982Inventor: W.
