Abstract: A power control system may include a snubber assembly conductively coupled with power sources and loads between the power sources and loads. A clipper assembly is conductively coupled with the power sources and loads between the power sources and loads.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for reducing high tonality sounds by controlling the speed of a fan to avoid a range of fan speeds. A target speed of the fan is determined. When the target speed is in a lower portion of the range, a signal is transmitted to the fan to operate at a speed below the range. When the target speed is an upper portion of the range, a signal is transmitted to the fan to operate at a speed above the range. When the target speed transitions from the lower portion to the upper portion, or vice versa, a signal is transmitted to the fan to progressively transition between the speed below the range and the speed above the range, or vice versa. When the target speed is outside the range, a signal is transmitted to the fan to operate at the target speed.

Abstract: Respective correlation metrics between token groups of a particular text attribute of a data set and a prediction target attribute are computed. Based on the correlation metrics, a predictive token group list is created. For various observation records of the data set, values of a derived categorical attribute corresponding to the particular text attribute are determined based on matches between the particular text attribute value and the predictive token group list. A measure of the predictive utility of the particular text attribute is obtained using correlations between the categorical attribute and the prediction target attribute.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to automated computer-implemented methods and systems for runtime detection and reporting of anomalous behavior objects running in a data center. A deep neural network is trained to generated forecast metric values of a metric of the object in a time interval from historical metric values of the metric. For each runtime metric value, a runtime residual value is computed based on the runtime metric value and a forecast metric value. Methods and system use spectral residual anomaly detection to determine in real time whether the runtime residual value indicates anomalous behavior of the object. In response to detecting anomalous behavior of the object, methods and system display an alert in a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of an electronic display device. The alert identifies the anomalous behavior of the object, the runtime metric value, and a time stamp of the anomalous behavior.
