20150143158 | Failover In A Data Center That Includes A Multi-Density Server - Failover in a data center that includes a multi-density server, where the multi-density server includes multiple independent servers, includes; detecting, by a management module, a failure of one of the independent servers of the multi-density server; identifying, by the management module, a failover target; determining, by the management module, whether the failover target is a non-failed independent server included in the multi-density server; and responsive to determining that the failover target is a non-failed independent server included in the multi-density server, migrating, by the management module, the failed independent server's workload to another server that is not included in the multi-density server. | 05-21-2015 |
20150143159 | FAILOVER IN A DATA CENTER THAT INCLUDES A MULTI-DENSITY SERVER - Failover in a data center that includes a multi-density server, where the multi-density server includes multiple independent servers, includes; detecting, by a management module, a failure of one of the independent servers of the multi-density server; identifying, by the management module, a failover target; determining, by the management module, whether the failover target is a non-failed independent server included in the multi-density server; and responsive to determining that the failover target is a non-failed independent server included in the multi-density server, migrating, by the management module, the failed independent server's workload to another server that is not included in the multi-density server. | 05-21-2015 |
20150241934 | DETERMINING AIR FILTER CONDITIONS - A method of determining a condition of a filter located within a system is provided. The method may include determining a first air flow measurement value for a first air flow through the filter, determining a first energy consumption value associated with generating the first air flow through the filter, determining a first ratio between the first air flow measurement value and the first energy consumption value, determining a second air flow measurement value for a second air flow through the filter, determining a second energy consumption value associated with generating the second air flow through the filter, and determining a second ratio between the second air flow measurement value and the second energy consumption value. The filter may then be replaced based on a comparison between the determined first and the determined second ratio. | 08-27-2015 |

20120064503 | DISPLAY MOUNTING SYSTEMS - Mounting systems can releasably secure display devices to preexisting surfaces for convenient installation and removal without external tools. A mounting system can comprise lower magnetic assemblies, upper magnetic assemblies, and a mounting sheet. The lower magnetic assemblies can be secured to a rear surface of a display device, for releasably attaching the display device to a preexisting surface. A bottom portion of the mounting sheet can be secured to the rear surface of the display device, while a top portion of the mounting sheet can remain loose from the rear surface. The upper magnetic assemblies can be provided along the loose top portion of the mounting sheet, for releasably attaching the display device to the preexisting surface. The upper magnetic assemblies can retain their connection to the preexisting surface as the display device is pulled away from the preexisting surface, until a threshold condition is met. | 03-15-2012 |

20090037958 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PROVIDE A PERSONALIZED CHANNEL - A method and apparatus for automatically delivering data files (e.g. television and movies) via a personalized channel to a user, that are based on a user's profile and viewing habits, are provided. A client receives meta-data broadcasts from a server system that includes descriptions of a plurality of data files currently being broadcasted or to be broadcast by the server system. In response to a content rating table that is based on a user's profile and viewing habits, a data file is automatically selected. The selected data file is displayed on a personalized channel on a display device to the user. The selected data file can be, for example, a currently broadcasting data file or a data file stored in a cache memory of the client. Thus, the user only needs to tune to his or her personalized channel to view personalized content. | 02-05-2009 |

20130181059 | TESTING APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING FREEZING OF RELAYS IN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS - Disclosed herein are embodiments of testing apparatus used to prevent freezing of relays in electrical components, particularly electrical components used in vehicles. One embodiment of a testing apparatus comprises a chamber with temperature control configured to control a temperature of an internal atmosphere of the chamber and a humidifier in fluid communication with the internal atmosphere of the chamber configured to supply humidified air to the internal atmosphere. A sealable opening in a wall of the chamber is configured to pass a wire harness from external the chamber to inside the chamber while maintaining a sealed environment within the chamber. The temperature control is configured to maintain a sub-zero temperature in the internal atmosphere while the humidifier maintains a saturated internal atmosphere. | 07-18-2013 |
20130181732 | METHODS OF PREVENTING FREEZING OF RELAYS IN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS - Disclosed herein are methods of preventing freezing of relays in electrical components operated in specific atmospheric conditions. One such method described herein comprises monitoring a temperature of a relay with a thermocouple located on a contact of the relay while monitoring ambient temperature within the relay. Operation of the electrical component is simulated in a sub-zero temperature and high humidity condition. A freeze potential of the relay is determined by plotting a temperature cross-over curve, wherein both the ambient temperature and the contact temperature are plotted during the operation and cool down period. If the high freeze potential is determined, one or both of the relay and the electrical component are modified with a modification configured to decrease the high freeze potential. | 07-18-2013 |

20150337650 | TELEMETRY SYSTEM, CURRENT SENSOR, AND RELATED METHODS FOR A DRILLING SYSTEM - This disclosure includes a current sensor configured to detect a signal current in a drilling system component of a drilling system, a telemetry system, and a method for detecting a signal current. The current sensor includes a magnetic body, at least one field coil positioned on the magnetic body, and at least one drive coil positioned on the magnetic body. The at least one field coil configured to detect a first magnetic field that passes within the magnetic body that is induced by the signal current carried by the drill system component when the current sensor is positioned in proximity to the drilling system component. The at least one drive coil configured to generate a second magnetic field. The current sensor is configured to modulate the second magnetic field such the at least one field coil detects the modulated magnetic field. | 11-26-2015 |
