  • Publication number: 20240143057
    Abstract: A voltage regulator system of an information handling system includes a Smart Power Stage (SPS) and a voltage regulator controller. The SPS includes a high-side transistor and a low-side transistor. The voltage regulator controller detects a normal power down of the information handling system and sets bleed state for the SPS to a first state. Based on the bleed state being set to the first state, the voltage regulator controller provides a first control voltage to the low-side transistor and a second control voltage to the high-side transistor. The first control voltage causes the low-side transistor to be fully turned on, and the second control voltage causes the high-side transistor to be in a linear region. In response to a predetermined amount of time expiring, the voltage regulator controller enters the SPS in an idle mode.

  • Patent number: 10599523
    Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor, a management controller, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) read-only memory (ROM), and at least one logic device. The management controller may be communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The logic device may be configured to reset the SPI ROM in response to an indication that the SPI ROM is to be reset, and the resetting may include detaching the SPI ROM from a SPI controller, disconnecting a power source from the SPI ROM, in response to a passage of a particular amount of time, reconnecting the power source to the SPI ROM, and re-attaching the SPI ROM to the SPI controller.

  • Patent number: 6620025
    Abstract: An evaporator which provides formic acid vapour at a consistent and repeatable rate for effective treatment of varroatosis in honey bees. The evaporation chamber is heated by an electrical element(s) and maintained at a constant temperature by a mechanical thermostat or electronic control circuit. The amount of vaporised material is controlled by adjusting the temperature setting and metering apertures of the evaporation chamber. A continuous flow of formic acid vapour has been demonstrated to kill tracheal and varroa mites much more effectively than other methods and systems, now in use, which depend primarily on the amount of heat generated within the hive as well as solar radiation and ambient temperatures for their operation. The evaporator is made using materials which are largely unaffected by corrosive chemicals, such as formic acid. All electrical components are protected from moisture and corrosion with a protective coating.
