Patent number: 12068867Abstract: The present invention relates to fast start-up of powered devices (22) connected to a power sourcing equipment (10?) in a Power over Ethernet system (100). A stored voltage-current profile of an initial powering phase of a powered device (22) is provided. A voltage level provided to the powered device (22) in a subsequent initial powering phase of the powered device (22) is adjusted as long as a value corresponding to a current voltage level of a voltage-current profile of the subsequent initial powering phase deviates less than a predetermined threshold level from its corresponding value of the stored voltage-current profile of the initial powering phase of the powered device (22) and until a predetermined voltage level is reached. This can allow detecting whether a previously connected powered device (22) was replaced by another powered device (22) and to immediately start-up an unchanged powered device (22) with previously used operation parameters.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Matthias Wendt, Muhammad Mohsin Siraj

Patent number: 12055990Abstract: A control device for centralized power supply of a server includes a depth detection module provided on a centralized power supply board of a cabinet, and a signal transmission circuit. The depth detection module outputs a first state signal to enable the signal transmission circuit to output a disable signal when a power clamp of a server is not completely connected to a power output end, so as to prevent a hot-swap control module from being started. The depth detection module outputs a second state signal to enable the signal transmission circuit to output an enable signal when the power clamp is completely connected to the power output end, so as to start the hot-swap control module. Thus, the hot-swap control module cannot be powered on when the power clamp of the server is not in complete contact with the power output end of the centralized power supply board.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: INSPUR SUZHOU INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventor: Songtao Zhang
