  • Patent number: 9971890
    Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for identifying a thermal management setting in a computing system, and comparing the thermal management setting to valid configuration information. In addition, the thermal management setting may be modified if it does not comply with the valid configuration information, wherein the modification can cause the thermal management setting to comply with the valid configuration information. Additionally, a threat risk notification can be initiated in order to notify users of the non-compliance.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7984250
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a memory control device includes a sensor positioned remotely from a memory device, a register to store an offset value, the offset value corresponding to a difference between a temperature reading of the sensor and an estimated actual temperature of the memory device, and a controller to control an operation of the memory device, wherein the controller is configured to read the offset value from the register and control the operation of the memory device in accordance with the offset value. The controller may be configured to dynamically update the offset value during an operation of the memory device. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20050168942
    Abstract: A system may include a first power supply to supply electrical power to the system and a second power supply to supply electrical power to the system. A first airflow gate may be able to reduce airflow to the first power supply when a failure of the first power supply is detected. A second airflow gate may be able to reduce airflow to the second power supply when a failure of the second power supply is detected.
