20090201640 | NOISE-REDUCING ATTACHMENT APPARATUS FOR HEAT EXCHANGER DOOR OF AN ELECTRONICS RACK OF A DATA CENTER - A noise-reducing attachment apparatus for a heat exchanger door is provided for facilitating attenuation of noise emanating from an electronics rack. The apparatus includes a frame structure configured to coupled to the heat exchanger door. The door includes in air opening and air-to-liquid heat exchanger, and air passing through the air opening also passes across the heat exchanger. The air opening facilitates passage of external air through the electronics rack. The frame structure defines in part an airflow channel through the apparatus, wherein air passing through the air opening also passes through the airflow channel when the apparatus is operatively coupled to the door. An acoustically absorptive material, which is coupled to the frame structure and at least partially defines the airflow opening through the apparatus, is selected and positioned to attenuate noise emanating from the electronics rack when the apparatus is coupled to the heat exchanger door. | 08-13-2009 |
20110067948 | NOISE ATTENUATING INSERTS FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT CABINETS - A noise attenuating method, and a system thereof, for controlling acoustical noise in an electronic equipment enclosure is disclosed. The noise attenuating system includes one or more noise attenuating inserts configured to be removably attached to the electronic equipment enclosure so as to block noise from at least one electronic device contained in the electronic equipment enclosure and to channel an airflow from an inlet point to one or more outlet points of the electronic equipment enclosure. The method includes arranging one or more noise attenuating inserts within an electronic equipment enclosure such that the noise attenuating inserts simultaneously block noise from at least one electronic device contained in the enclosure and channel an airflow path circulating therein. | 03-24-2011 |

20110312380 | Mobile Devices Having Fax Capabilities - Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to incorporating a fax machine function into a mobile device. A camera on the mobile device is used to scan or capture an image of an existing document. Logic on the mobile device converts the image into a fax transmittal that can be transmitted to a fax machine. Once the fax transmittal is ready, a connection is initiated with a traditional fax machine across one or more networks, and the fax transmittal is sent to the fax machine at a speed determined by the slower device. Upon a successful transmission, the connection is terminated, and a report is generated. | 12-22-2011 |

20150161904 | SIMULATION PLATFORM MODULE - A simulation platform module. The simulation platform module determines that an external simulation object exists. The simulation platform module initiates the external simulation object into an executing state, and receives from the external simulation object an event mapping. The event mapping maps an input to an event implemented by the external simulation object in response to notification of the occurrence of the input, and an object attribute identifier that identifies an object attribute controlled by the external simulation object. The simulation platform module receives a user input from a user, and determines that the user input matches the input. The external simulation object is notified of the occurrence of the input, an input identifier that identifies the input is stored in a data structure. | 06-11-2015 |
