Abstract: Laser light pulses of at least two different wavelengths are reflected off a scanning mirror. A first time-of-flight distance measurement circuit receives reflected light pulses of a first wavelength and determines distances. A second time-of-flight distance measurement circuit receives reflected light pulses of a second wavelength and determines distances. The timing of transmission of laser light pulses of differing wavelengths are adjusted, and the data buffering of converted return pulses are adjusted, to compensate for laser light source misalignment.

Abstract: A backup power system is disclosed which has a first port in communication with a server. The server includes first and second ports, and the backup power system is in communication with the second port of the server and receives a first voltage signal from the second port of the server. A second communications port of the system is in communication with a peripheral. The peripheral is powered by a separate connection to the first port of the server. A controller of the system detects when power being provided by the server through the server's second port has dropped below a threshold level. A power storage component responsive to the controller supplies power to the peripheral when the power provided from the server's second port drops below the threshold level.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for forming an interface for interfacing a remote access appliance (“RAC”) to a target device (“TD”) and enabling video and serial communications between the RAC and TD. The apparatus makes use of a housing having a first port, a second port and a third port. A circuit board may be housed within the housing for enabling serial and video communications between the TD and the RAC. The first port enables an interface to the apparatus via a communications cable in communication with the RAC. The second port enables a serial connection between the apparatus and the TD via an independent serial communications cable. The third port forms a video connector connectable directly to a video port of the target device for enabling video communications between the TD and the apparatus.

Abstract: An intelligent power control system and method adapted for use with a digital rack interface pod (DRIP). A switching regulator generates a set output voltage. If power is available from a USB port of an external device, such as an external server, then the system uses this power to power the DRIP. If DC power is detected as being received on a different input from an external power transformer, then the system may still continue to use the power being received from the USB port to power the DRIP. If power from the USB port of the external device is lost but power from the external transformer is present, then the system may use the power available from the external transformer to power the DRIP.
