  • Patent number: 12251817
    Abstract: Provided are a device, a system and a method for acquiring a force information based on a bionic structure, including: a force information acquisition layer and a magnetic field signal acquisition chip; wherein a permanent magnet is embedded in the force information acquisition layer; wherein the force information acquisition layer has an elastic structure configured to generate a deformation corresponding to a first force information of a force after being subjected to the force, so that the permanent magnet moves with the deformation to generate a magnetic field signal corresponding to the force information; wherein the magnetic field signal acquisition chip is arranged in parallel with the force information acquisition layer, and is configured to acquire the magnetic field signal and convert the magnetic field signal into an electrical signal.

  • Publication number: 20250079841
    Abstract: This document describes systems for and techniques of alternating-current (AC) power harmonic-based circuit state detection. In various aspects, a system includes a component, a bypass circuit for the component, and a controller with an AC power harmonic-based circuit state detector that can determine a state of the bypass circuit. The AC power harmonic-based circuit state detector may convert an AC voltage of the AC power to a direct current (DC) voltage, filter the DC voltage to obtain a voltage of a harmonic of the AC power, and compare the voltage of the harmonic to a threshold to determine that the bypass circuit is in a fault state (blown fuse). By so doing, the controller of the system can notify a user that the bypass circuit needs to be reset or replaced to reenable operation of the system and avoid poor user experience typically associated with a non- or mis-functioning system.

  • Patent number: 10684865
    Abstract: The present application is directed to access isolation for multi-operating system devices. In general, a device may be configured using firmware to accommodate more than one operating system (OS) operating concurrently on the device or to transition from one OS to another. An access isolation module (AIM) in the firmware may determine a device equipment configuration and may partition the equipment for use by multiple operating systems. The AIM may disable OS-based equipment sensing and may allocate at least a portion of the equipment to each OS using customized tables. When transitioning between operating systems, the AIM may help to ensure that information from one OS is not accessible to others. For example, the AIM may detect when a foreground OS is to be replaced by a background OS, and may protect (e.g., lockout or encrypt) the files of the foreground OS prior to the background OS becoming active.

  • Patent number: 9389668
    Abstract: An embodiment includes determining a first power metric (e.g., memory module temperature) corresponding to a group of computing nodes that includes first and second computing nodes; and distributing a computing task to a third computing node (e.g., load balancing) in response to the determined first power metric; wherein the third computing node is located remotely from the first and second computing nodes. The first power metric may be specific to the group of computing nodes and is not specific to either of the first and second computing nodes. Such an embodiment may leverage knowledge of computing node group behavior, such as power consumption, to more efficiently manage power consumption in computing node groups. This “power tuning” may rely on data taken at the “silicon level” (e.g., an individual computing node such as a server) and/or a large group level (e.g., data center). Other embodiments are described herein.
