Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to decoding a video stream within a browser. An encoded multi-layer video stream is received in a source buffer. An encoded base stream is extracted from the source buffer and decoded using a markup video element to obtain a decoded base stream. The decoded base stream is rendered in a first markup video display region, wherein the first markup video display region is hidden. An encoded enhancement stream is extracted from the source buffer and decoded to obtain a decoded enhancement stream. The decoded base stream is obtained from the first markup video display region and combined with the decoded enhancement stream to generate a reconstructed video stream, which is rendered in a second markup video display region that is visible within the browser.

Abstract: A wicking mitigation chassis for housing components of a liquid-cooled information handling system includes one or more notches formed in an edge of a bottom of the chassis. The one or more notches are configured to disrupt a flow of fluid within the chassis caused by leakage from a liquid cooling subassembly housed within the chassis to slow wicking of the fluid. The wicking mitigation chassis includes one or more rises in an outer surface of the bottom of the chassis created by dimpling an opposing surface of the bottom of the chassis. The one or more rises are configured to concentrate at least a portion of the flow of fluid in regions of the outer surface surrounding the one or more rises.

Abstract: A multiple inverter generator and operating method thereof. A first inverter generator delivers AC) power through a first power line to a power output and a second inverter generator delivers AC power through a second power line. A low current coupler selectively couples the first power line and the second power line with limited electrical current. A parallel power switch selectively couples the first power line and the second power line. A controller activates, while the parallel power switch electrically isolates the first power line from the second power line, the low current coupler for a synchronization time period to form a limited current electrical connection. The controller also configures, within a time out period after activation of the low current couple for the synchronization time period, the parallel power switch to electrically connect the first power line and the second power line.

Abstract: A system and method enabling the use of convection cooled dual-inline memory modules (DIMM) in non-convection environments, specifically used for computing applications for harsh environments. This system and method describes a design which transfers heat from the various components on the memory module to thermally opportunistic areas of an enclosure in the absence of sufficient or in some cases any convective cooling conditions. The system and method describes a sandwiched metal heat plate assembly, being constructed from a thermally conductive material, which is attached to a heat pipe, designed to be highly thermally conductive, which is further attached to a thermally conductive cold plate saddle, which in turn is connected to a thermal sink. The heat generated in the DIMM is conducted to the heat plate by way of a thermal interface material, this energy transferred to the heat pipe, and then to a cold plate which dissipates the energy to the ambient environment.
