20100044526 | FLOATING CABLE CONNECTOR RETENTION MODULE - Method and apparatus for securely positioning a cable connector plug for blind docking an electronic device or module with an electrical connector, for example within a rack for a computer system. A bracket includes a clip that is selectively securable to open and close the bracket. A cable connector plug collar is laterally receivable in the bracket when the bracket is open. The bracket retains the collar in a circumferential tongue and groove relationship when the bracket is closed. When the bracket is properly positioned and secured within a rack bay, the bracket positions the connector plug for blind docking without restricting operative access to the connector plug. A preferred bracket is sufficiently flexible to allow lateral movement of the connector plug when the bracket is closed about the collar. | 02-25-2010 |
20130238313 | DOMAIN SPECIFIC NATURAL LANGUAGE NORMALIZATION - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the domain specific normalization of a corpus of text. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for domain specific normalization of a corpus of text is provided, including an industrial, organization, demographic or geographic domain. The method includes loading a corpus of text in memory of a computer and determining a domain for the corpus of text. The method also includes retrieving a lexicon of replacement words for the determined domain. Finally, the method includes text simplifying the corpus of text using the retrieved lexicon. In one aspect of the embodiment, the domain is determined through inference based upon words already presence in the corpus of text. In another aspect of the embodiment, the domain is determined based upon meta-data provided with the corpus of text. | 09-12-2013 |
20150085882 | REDUCTION OF ON-HOLD CALL BANDWIDTH CONSUMPTION - A computer processor determines that a call has been placed on hold. The computer processor sends a first packet to a local exchange carrier (LEC) of the calling device, wherein the first packet includes instructions to release the bandwidth of the call placed on-hold, between the LEC and a recipient of the call. The computer processor sends a second packet intermittently to the LEC, wherein the second packet maintains a connection between the calling device of the call and the LEC. The computer processor determines that a representative is available, wherein the representative is the recipient of the call, and in response to determining the representative that is available responds to the call, the computer processor sending a third packet to connect the calling device of the call to the representative that is available. | 03-26-2015 |
20150102673 | POWER BALANCING IN POWER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS - Systems and methods for power balancing in power distribution networks are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a method may be implemented at a power manager in a power distribution network including multiple computing devices. The method may include receiving vital product data associated with the computing devices. The method may also include predicting, based on the vital product data, occurrences of unbalanced power in the power distribution system upon distribution of power to the computing devices. Further, the method may include controlling application of power to the computing devices, prior to distributing power in the power distribution system, based on the predicted occurrences such that power distribution to the power distribution system is substantially balanced. | 04-16-2015 |
20150236906 | PORT ASSIGNMENT BASED ON DEVICE ORIENTATION - Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for port assignment based on device orientation. In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, the computer implemented method includes the steps of determining a physical orientation of a computing device utilizing an orientation measurement device, wherein the computing device includes a plurality of ports on at least one face of the computing device, identifying a set of port numbering assignments that corresponds to the determined physical orientation of the computing device, modifying port numbering firmware of the computing device based on the identified set of port numbering assignments, and electronically displaying labeling corresponding to the plurality of ports on the face of the computing device based on the modified port numbering firmware and the identified set of port numbering assignments. | 08-20-2015 |
20150264843 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE HOUSING - Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus allowing for an adjustable face plate. The apparatus comprises a face plate, an adjustment device affixed to the face plate, wherein the adjustment device includes a plurality of ridges formed thereon to define a plurality of gaps, and wherein the adjustment device is capable of rotating about an axis, and a clamp affixed to an electronic device chassis, having a first arm contacting the adjustment device in a first gap of the plurality of gaps and allowing for rotation of the adjustment device about the axis from the first gap to a second gap of the plurality of gaps. | 09-17-2015 |
20150330397 | AIR FLOW DETECTION AND CORRECTION BASED ON AIR FLOW IMPEDANCE - To maintain proper cooling within a computing device enclosure, a computer processor receives input indicating a rotation position of a fan blade of a cooling fan. The computer processor receives input indicating a rotation position of a fan motor magnetic field of the cooling fan. The computer processor calculates a slip of the cooling fan, based on the rotation position of the fan blade relative to the rotation position of the fan motor magnetic field. The computer processor determines an air flow impedance based on the slip of the cooling fan, and in response to a deviation of the air flow impedance from an operational range of air flow impedance, the computer processor increases a rotation speed of the cooling fan, wherein the operational range of the air flow impedance is maintained. | 11-19-2015 |
20150331854 | DOMAIN SPECIFIC NATURAL LANGUAGE NORMALIZATION - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the domain specific normalization of a corpus of text. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for domain specific normalization of a corpus of text is provided, including an industrial, organization, demographic or geographic domain.
