  • Patent number: 11886262
    Abstract: A method for managing power in a multiple processor computing device includes detecting a first amount of power being used by a first processor of the computing device; determining an amount of extra power available based on the first amount of power and a power budget for the first processor; and transmits a value to a driver associated with a second processor of the computing device, wherein the value indicates the amount of extra power available, wherein the driver adjusts at least one operating parameter of the second processor based on the amount of extra power available.

  • Publication number: 20230213999
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of controlling power consumption in a multi-processor computing device comprises determining a first value for a first power setting associated with a first processor based on a sound level generated by the multi-processor computing device; determining a second value for the first power setting based on a power consumption level of the multi-processor computing device; comparing the first value to the second value; and causing the first processor to perform one or more operations based on the lesser of the first value and the second value.

  • Publication number: 20230214000
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of controlling power consumption in a multi-processor computing device comprises: determining whether a first processor is operating in a high-power regime or a low-power regime; selecting a first set of control rules that includes a first subset of control rules that apply when the first processor is operating in the high-power regime and a second subset of control rules that apply when the first processor is operating in the low-power regime; determining one or more power settings for the first processor based on the first set of control rules; and causing the first processor to perform one or more operations based on the one or more power settings.

  • Publication number: 20230213996
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of controlling power consumption in a multi-processor computing device, the method comprises: determining a target sound level for the multi-processor computing device; determining one or more candidate fan speed combinations for a first fan associated with a first temperature-controlled device included in the multi-processor computing device and a second fan associated with a second temperature-controlled device included in the multi-processor computing device based on the target sound level; determining a temperature error for one of the first temperature-controlled device, the second temperature-controlled device, or a third temperature-controlled device included in the multi-processor computing device based on the one or more candidate fan speed combinations and a measured temperature value for one of the first temperature-controlled device, the second temperature-controlled device, or the third temperature-controlled device; determining a value for a first power setting asso

  • Publication number: 20110204656
    Abstract: An electronic seal includes primarily a latch and a latch seat which can form lock-up. The latch and the latch seat are installed respectively with a radio-frequency chip and an antenna of a RFID system, as well as radio-frequency transmission lines allowing the radio-frequency chip and the antenna to be electrically connected, to provide an external reader-writer to access information inside the chip. A front end of the latch is provided with a first neck, and a second neck behind the first neck, allowing a C-shape snap ring in the latch seat to perform a second locking operation, such that when performing a first locking operation, the latch and the latch seat can be fastened together without escaping, and when performing the second locking operation, the radio-frequency chip and the antenna in the latch and the latch seat can be connected electrically.
