Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Aggregation of multiplexed optical transceivers in server chassis to establish fabric topology." This invention describes multiplexed optical transceivers, such as DWDM multiplexer/demultiplexers, which are aggregated in a server chassis to establish a fabric topology interconnecting blade servers to a dedicated switch module. Blade servers installed in the server chassis can utilize not just Ethernet interfaces to connect to network segments, but also PCIe interfaces as well as a combination of Ethernet and PCIe interfaces. The aggregated optical transceivers multiplex and demultiplex wavelength-specific optical signals using a laser source, reducing power consumption over switched fabric ASICs. Servicing of the multiplexed optical transceivers is facilitated by installation and replacement of a laser source. Scaling and redundancy of fabric topology interconnects can be facilitated by selection of laser sources generating expanded ranges of discrete wavelengths. Furthermore, chassis management can be facilitated by configuring network controllers of blade servers to transport chassis management instructions over the fabric topology in-band over a network interface, rather than by an out-of-band pathway.
Another significant patent is for a "Composite connector carrying power, electro-optical data, and fluid input/output." This composite connector includes modular data connectors, electrical power connectors, a fluid exchange connector, an alignment feature, and a housing. The modular data connectors include electrical data connectors and optical data connectors and are configured to carry data. The electrical power connectors are configured to carry electrical power, and the fluid exchange connector is configured to carry cooling fluid. The composite connector includes an alignment feature to align the composite connector with a complementary connector. The housing of the composite connector is configured to contain the modular data connectors, the electrical power connectors, the fluid exchange connector, and the alignment feature in a confined physical space.
