  • Scalable coolant distribution unit
    Patent number: 10952349
    Abstract: In one implementation, a system for scalable coolant distribution unit includes a parameters engine to determine real time pump parameters of a first CDU, wherein the real time pump parameters correspond to a functionality of the first CDU, a pump engine to alter pump parameters of the first CDU based on the real time pump parameters, a communication engine to send the altered pump parameters of the first CDU to a second CDU, the pump engine to alter pump parameters of the second CDU based on the altered pump parameters of the first CDU and determined real time pump parameters of the second CDU, a functionality engine to determine a functionality of the first CDU and the second CDU based on the real time pump parameters and altered pump parameters.

  • Pump based issue identification
    Patent number: 10837438
    Abstract: In one example implementation pump based issue identification includes monitoring a total number of operational cycles of a vacuum pump associated with a cooling device, comparing the total number of operational cycles to an operational cycle threshold, identify an issue based on the comparison of the total number of operational cycles to the operational cycle threshold, and generating a notification in response to identifying the issue.

  • MEMORY COOLING PAD
    Publication number: 20180018001
    Abstract: In one implementation, a system for a memory cooling pad includes a first thermal interface material coupled to a second thermal interface material by a liner material configured to position the first thermal interface material on a first side of a memory unit and to position the second thermal interface material on a second side of the memory unit.
