Patent number: 7317306Abstract: The present invention provides a nonlinear adaptive voltage positioning DC-DC converter method and apparatus that enable improved voltage transient response under changing current conditions for a load with known current draw characteristics. The invention in some embodiments provides that the nonlinear adaptive voltage positioning be adaptable or configurable to a specific, known current load range that comprises less than the full current range that may be provided by the DC-DC converter, to optimize voltage transient response for a particular known load.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1999Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Robert J. Fite

Patent number: 6891724Abstract: The invention relates to a structure of and a process of forming an integrated circuit package that utilizes a thermal interface material layer having an aligned array of carbon nanotubes affixed to a surface of the layer. The thermal interface material is diamond deposited by chemical vapor deposition. The carbon nanotubes are formed by a plasma discharge process on the surface of the CVDD and also may be formed on the surface of the die.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2002Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David S. De Lorenzo, Stephen W. Montgomery, Robert J. Fite

Patent number: 6839237Abstract: An improved rack-mounted server comprises, in one embodiment, a slidable electronics tray having a top cover secured to the rack, to facilitate access to the tray when it is withdrawn from the rack. The tray also includes a camming mechanism to facilitate insertion of the tray into and its extraction from cable connectors or plugs affixed to the rack. The tray includes, in one embodiment, a movement detection mechanism to power it up or down when tray insertion or removal, respectively, is initiated. In addition, the rack includes an improved cable management system that can accommodate different cables and cable plugs. As a tray is inserted into or removed from the rack, corresponding connectors on the tray are electrically coupled to or uncoupled from cable plugs affixed to the rack, eliminating any need to remove cables from the tray or reinstall them.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2003Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: William E. Berry, Robert J. Fite, Tomm V. Aldridge, Barrett M. Faneuf
