20080296009 | Computer Systems and Related Methods for Cooling Such Systems - Methods for cooling computer systems are provided, in which the computer system has a processor and a fan. An exemplary method comprises: determining a temperature threshold for operating the fan at greater than low speed; determining a temperature of the computer system; and throttling the processor if the temperature corresponds to the temperature threshold for operating the fan at greater than low speed. Systems also are provided. | 12-04-2008 |
20100212341 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING A COOLING SYSTEM USING ONE DIGITAL SIGNAL - Systems and methods that receive a digital signal outputted from a single line of a device are disclosed. Embodiments of the systems and methods calculate the temperature of the device based on the digital signal. Embodiments of the systems and methods generate a signal to a cooling system to cool the device when the calculated temperature of the device is higher than a predetermined temperature. | 08-26-2010 |

The temperature sensitive device is coupled to the printed circuit board. An aperture is cut out of the printed circuit board between the temperature sensitive device and a heat generating device to act as an insulator for the temperature sensitive device. | 11-18-2010 |
20100321881 | Computer Systems And Related Methods For Cooling Such Systems - Methods for cooling computer systems are provided, in which the computer system has a processor and a fan. An exemplary method comprises: determining a temperature threshold for operating the fan at greater than low speed; determining a temperature of the computer system; and throttling the processor if the temperature corresponds to the temperature threshold for operating the fan at greater than low speed. Systems also are provided. | 12-23-2010 |
20110083029 | Controller - A first controller can provide system state information and a second controller can receive the system state information. The second controller can be programmed to control the state of a component. The state of the component can be based on information programmed in the second controller and the system state information. The component can include an off state and an operating state indicated by a signal from the second controller. | 04-07-2011 |

20120166780 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ACCESSING A COMPUTER PRE-BOOT ROUTINE - A method and apparatus for entering a computer pre-boot routine without using the keyboard or having the computer display operable. In order to turn the computer on, the user depresses the main power-on button. If the user does nothing else the computer system boots normally. But if the user desires to enter any of the pre-boot functions, the user simply depresses the power-on button a second time within a short predetermined period of time. An interface circuit will latch upon this second power-on button press, and before the BIOS hands off to the operating system, the BIOS will check this latch and if set, will enter the desired pre-boot function or optionally enter into a menu allowing selection of all pre-boot functions. The interface circuit has the ability to allow a time period after the first button press before the second button press would be accepted. It also has the ability to reject the second press if too long a period has expired. An optional audible and/or visual alarm provides feedback to the user that the second button press was latched. This would be in the form of an LED blink or speaker beep. The beep/blink would each have enable/disable bits. In an alternate embodiment the main power-on button is held down a predetermined period of time less that the usual 4-second power-off time period. | 06-28-2012 |

20150206265 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES FOR GATHERING AND PROVIDING PUBLIC OPINION INFORMATION - Methods, systems, and devices are provided for gathering and/or providing public opinion by querying users on specific legislative questions or issues (like various commissioned public opinion polls), which may allow officeholders at the national, state, and local level to learn the preferences and/or opinions of their constituents before they cast a vote or take a position on the issue in question. In some embodiments, subscriber or user data may be received, compiled, aggregated, and/or distributed back out to the user and/or to the public in general in a timely fashion. Some embodiments may utilize running tallying and/or alignment features between user preferences and public officials, including information regarding how elected officials may vote or otherwise take action and over time as it may relate to user preferences. | 07-23-2015 |
