  • Patent number: 11942775
    Abstract: A high voltage battery cluster, and an overcurrent protection circuit and a switch box of the high voltage battery cluster are provided. The overcurrent protection circuit includes a first fusing module and a second fusing module. Since a withstand current-time curve of the first fusing module is different from a withstand current-time curve of the second fusing module, in a case that an overcurrent fault occurs in a high voltage battery cluster, one fusing module can cause an open circuit in the high voltage battery cluster prior to another fusing module, thereby preventing the high voltage battery cluster from being broken by a large current when an overcurrent fault occurs in the high voltage battery cluster, thus ensuring an electrical safety of the high voltage battery cluster.

  • 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.
