Embodiments herein describe a switchable redundant voltage regulator (referred to herein as a redundant phase) that can be attached to multiple different power domains. Instead of providing a redundant phase for every load or voltage domain in a computing system, the embodiments herein describe sharing redundant phases between voltage domains. Thus, if a primary phase serving any one of the phase fails, the switch can be controlled to connect the redundant phase to the corresponding voltage domain. In this manner, the redundant phase is a shared phase for a plurality of voltage domains.

Distributed phase redundancy

A computer-implemented apparatus and related method control a dynamic phase rotation unit of a power distribution unit (PDU). The method comprises using a processor of a system controller for identifying a PDU group of two or more redundant PDUs, receiving input parameters from an input port of each of the PDUs in the PDU group, and comparing the input parameters from of the PDU group. The method further comprises conditioned upon a determination of the following both being true: 1) the input parameters are within a predefined threshold of similarity; and 2) no uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is present, then, responsive to the determination sending, via a network, a phase rotation command to a phase rotation controller to change the phase rotation switches on at least one of the PDUs in the PDU group. Otherwise, responsive to the determination, not sending the phase rotation command.

Some implementations described herein provide apparatuses and techniques for correcting a network disruption during a virtual meeting. In response to detecting audio and/or video input to a first device, audio and/or video data is recorded and stored in a temporary buffer of the first device. After the network disruption, and using time stamps, a network disruption server may request the audio and/or video data from the first device and transmit the audio and/or video data to a second device at an accelerated rate.

A non-sealed apparatus for batteries with a containment structure for gasses that includes a battery enclosure with an upper portion and a lower portion. The apparatus further includes a plurality of batteries disposed in a lower portion of the battery enclosure. The apparatus has at least one battery containment structure disposed in an upper portion of the battery enclosure, which is configured to move downward thereby sealing the plurality of batteries upon a condition. Further, a transfer channel assembly is provided within the battery enclosure and configured to transfer and/or contain gases emitted by the plurality of batteries upon the condition. The apparatus also has at least one fan configured to circulate the air in and out of the battery enclosure through the first perforated opening and the second perforated opening.

Stream alterations under limited bandwidth conditions is provided. A router on a local network continuously monitors incoming network traffic from a source external to the local network to detect that a bandwidth of the incoming network traffic exceeds a first threshold. The router sends a request to a source of the incoming network traffic to temporarily redirect the incoming network traffic to an optimization analyzer. Analysis is performed on the incoming streams to identify one or more streams for alteration. In response to identifying one or more of the incoming streams for alteration, for each identified incoming stream, continuously altering the identified incoming stream, and re-directing the altered stream to the local device.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for safety violation detection is provided. The present invention may include receiving a camera feed of a facility. The present invention may also include analyzing the received camera feed using an AI model to detect a safety violation in the facility. The present invention may also include tracking a position of a user device in the facility associated with a user moving through the facility. The present invention may further include generating a proximity alert responsive to determining that the tracked position of the user device is within a predetermined proximity of the safety violation in the facility. The present invention may also include outputting the generated proximity alert to the user device for preventative action by the user.

Methods of fabricating tamper-respondent sensors with random three-dimensional security patterns are provided. The methods include establishing a security circuit pattern for a security circuit of a tamper-respondent sensor to enclose, at least in part, one or more components of a circuit board within a secure volume. The establishing includes determining in three-dimensions boundaries for the security circuit of the tamper-respondent sensor. The boundaries define a sensor volume which the security circuit is to fill in three dimensions. The establishing also includes generating at least one trace configuration for the security circuit pattern. The at least one trace configuration defines a random, three-dimensional security pattern to fill the sensor volume, and the at least one trace configuration establishes, at least in part, the security circuit pattern. The process further includes fabricating the tamper-respondent sensor based on the established security circuit pattern.

Rechargeable battery monitoring and control is provided using a non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. A non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold is obtained indicative of an operational state abnormality in a rechargeable battery cell, and during the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell, a control compares an actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell to the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. Based on the actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell exceeding the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold, the control identifies the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell. Based on identifying the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell, the control discontinues the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell.

Technical solutions are described for determining a route for multiple users traveling to a common destination. An example method includes determining, by a multiuser route generator, a multiuser route for a plurality of users traveling to the common destination, the multiuser route comprising a waypoint, the waypoint being a location to which each of the plurality of users travel independently, and travel to the common destination jointly thereafter. Determining the multiuser route includes receiving departure locations of the users, determining the waypoint, and calculating a first total of travel parameters associated with the users traveling to the waypoint independently and jointly thereafter that is lesser than a second total of travel parameters associated with the users traveling to the common destination independently. The method further includes sending the multiuser route to navigation devices of the respective users, the navigation devices navigating the respective users along the multiuser route.

An analysis module receives a plurality of presentation source materials, including text documents, books, video files, audio files, and presentations. A transcript is generated from audio and video received from a presenter device during a live teaching session. Keywords are extracted from the plurality of presentation source materials. An integrated keyword list is created by integrating the extracted keywords with the generated transcript. Participants in an online meeting are grouped into live group breakout sessions, each of which is independent. Data from each participant is continuously recorded in the breakout session. The correlation between the integrated keyword list and the recorded participant output is periodically analyzed to output a score trendline to determine the level of comprehension by the participants of the presentation materials. The score trendline and the scores for each breakout session are displayed on a presenter dashboard.
