  • Patent number: 11055322
    Abstract: Examples include comparison of a part key to machine keys. Examples include identification of a part key assigned to a given machine identifier in a part key mapping of a part received by a computing device, the part key mapping including a plurality of part keys assigned to a plurality of machine identifiers. Examples also include comparison of the identified part key to machine keys stored on the computing device to determine whether the identified part key matches any of the machine keys, and based at least in part on a result of the determination, enabling or inhibiting further utilization of the part.

  • Patent number: 8958997
    Abstract: A system includes an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), one or more power supplies, and a processing device. The processing device to execute instructions which cause the processing device to determine a total output current of the one or more power supplies, enable the UPS, determine an output current of at least the UPS, determine a current sharing percentage for at least the UPS, and compare the current sharing percentage for the UPS with an expected current sharing percentage range.

  • Patent number: 7050307
    Abstract: Circuit board orientation in a computer system. A system includes a first set of circuit boards and a second set of circuit boards. The first set of circuit boards may be mated via a first and second set of connectors to the second set of circuit boards such that the first set of circuit boards is oriented substantially orthogonal with respect to the second set of circuit boards. Each of the boards may be accessible and hot swappable.

  • Patent number: 6890184
    Abstract: An electrical connector for conveying signals between two circuit boards includes a first connector portion including a first array of board contacts for connection to a first corresponding footprint on a first circuit board. The connector also includes a second connector portion including a second array of board contacts for connection to a second corresponding footprint on a second circuit board. The signals include a plurality of signal groups each including a different plurality of related signals. Each of the signal groups is assigned to a grouping of related board contacts of the first array and to a corresponding grouping of related board contacts of the second array. When the first connector portion and the second connector portion are mated, each grouping of board contacts of the first array is electrically coupled to the corresponding grouping of board contacts in a transposed location in the second array.
