Example embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus comprising a zip-locker receiver. The zip-locker receiver is configured to ratchetably receive a zip-locker and comprises an aperture and a pawl disposed within the aperture configured to complement and cooperate with the ratchet teeth of the zip-locker to prevent removal of the zip-locker from the aperture of the zip-locker receiver at times the pawl of the zip-locker receiver is engaged with the ratchet teeth of the zip-locker.

Zip-locker receiver apparatus

An apparatus comprises a memory, a processor coupled to the memory, one or more altitude sensors, one or more ambient temperature sensors, and one or more air movers. The processor implements an air mover control module configured to obtain at least one altitude reading from at least one of the one or more altitude sensors, to determine an altitude factor based on the at least one altitude reading, to obtain at least one ambient temperature reading from at least one of the one or more ambient temperature sensors, to determine target speeds for respective ones of the air movers utilizing the altitude factor and the at least one ambient temperature reading, and to control operation of the air movers based on the target speeds.

Altitude-based adaptive cooling of a computing device

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a system comprising a zip-locker and a zip-locker receiver. The zip-locker comprises a first portion and a second portion configured to fasten to an interconnect, at least one of the first portion and the second portion having ratchet teeth formed and extending longitudinally on an outer surface thereof. The zip-locker receiver is configured to ratchetably receive the zip-locker and comprises an aperture and a pawl disposed within the aperture configured to complement and cooperate with the ratchet teeth of the zip-locker to prevent removal of the zip-locker from the aperture of the zip-locker receiver at times the pawl of the zip-locker receiver is engaged with the ratchet teeth of the zip-locker.

Zip-locker system and apparatus

A method and computer program product for determining an internal temperature of a computing device, a power consumption factor for the computing device, and an airflow factor for the computing device. An approximated ambient air temperature is generated based upon the internal temperature, power consumption factor, and the airflow factor. A workload factor is determined for the computing device and a fan speed for the computing device is controlled based at least in part upon the approximated ambient air temperature and the workload factor.

System and method for controlling fan speed

A power measurement transducer includes a first surface configured to thermally couple the power measurement transducer to a device under test. A second surface is essentially parallel to and spaced apart from the first surface. Two or more temperature measurement elements are positioned between the first and second surfaces. The power measurement transducer is configured to allow at least a portion of the power generated within the device under test to enter the power measurement transducer through the first surface and exit the power measurement transducer through the second surface.

Power measurement transducer

A method of determining thermal output of a device under test includes attaching a power measurement transducer to a device under test, wherein the power measurement transducer includes two or more temperature measurement elements. A test sequence is applied to the device under test. One or more signals produced by the power measurement transducer are monitored to determine a quantity of power produced by the device under test during the test sequence.

A power measurement transducer includes a thermally conductive heat spreading device having a first surface configured to thermally couple the power measurement transducer to a device under test. Two or more temperature measurement elements are positioned within the thermally conductive heat spreading device.
