20150177795 | HEAT DISSIPATING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A heat dissipating device for dissipating the heat produced by a heating element is disclosed. The heat dissipating device includes a fixing assembly, two moving assemblies and an elastic assembly. The fixing assembly has a thermal conductive member. Each moving assembly has a mass body and is relatively moveable with respect to the fixing assembly. The two moving assemblies are disposed on two opposite sides of the fixing assembly, respectively, and each moving assembly forms a moving space with respect to the fixing assembly. The elastic assembly connects the fixing assembly to the two moving assemblies. | 2015-06-25 |
20150177796 | ROTATING VOLTAGE CONTROL - According to one embodiment, a system is provided that includes at least one power gated component and two or more power switch transistors configured to provide one or more conductive paths between a common power supply rail, the at least one power gated component, and a ground. The two or more power switch transistors each include a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal configured to control current flow between the source and drain terminals. The system also includes a rotating voltage control coupled to the gate terminals and configured to apply a sequence of control signals rotating between an on-state and an off-state to each of the gate terminals while the at least one power gated component is turned on. A switch activation ratio level is programmable to set a number of power switch transistors in the on-state relative to a total number of power switch transistors. | 2015-06-25 |
20150177797 | SCALABLE INPUT AND OUTPUT RACK POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT - A power distribution unit (PDU) at least one power distribution module configured in a computing rack and an interchangeable adapter coupled to the power distribution module to provide power to the distribution module. The power distribution module includes multiple power receptacles for coupling to a plurality of devices disposed in the computing rack. The interchangeable adapter electrically connectable to one of a plurality of different electrical power sources in which each electrical power source has a phase type configuration that differs from one another. | 2015-06-25 |
20150177798 | CONFIGURABLE POWER SUPPLIES FOR DYNAMIC CURRENT SHARING - An apparatus includes a distribution network that includes circuitry configured to receive first power from a first voltage source and second power from a second voltage source, and to deliver power to each of a plurality of electronic circuitry blocks (ECBs), including to deliver first ECB power to a first ECB and second ECB power to a second ECB. The first ECB power includes a first portion of the first power and a first portion of the second power. The apparatus also includes power management logic to dynamically adjust the power to be provided to each ECB. Responsive to a change in a first activity level of the first ECB, the power management logic is to change the first ECB power by adjustment of the first portion of the first power and adjustment of the first portion of the second power. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 2015-06-25 |
