Smart Ac Plug Load Switcher “Smart Plug”, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Present public power generation systems are designed to deliver a set voltage level to their end loads (for example, in computer systems). The current draw (and thus the load Wattage) is determined by the load that the end device is designed to. Common consumer power outlets are sized to 120 VAC with either 15 and 20 Amp (USA/NEMA example) service, for example. Safety is attained via a breaker/fuse in the distribution system. If the load device exceeds the delivery system’s capacity, the safety device is tripped. This all works well when the load device’s power is fixed. However, new systems …

Iot Dock-Based Prox-Activate Workspace, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This invention discloses a system and method for automatically activating a workspace environment using a combination of GPS, mobile applications, cloud services, and an IoT-enabled docking station. When a user enters a predefined geographic area near their workspace, the system detects the user's proximity via GPS and triggers a wake-up signal to the user's notebook (NB) through a Type-C connection. This solution enhances productivity by reducing boot-up delays and enabling seamless transitions into the work environment.

Fast And Reliable Gpu-Based Voxelization For 3d-Printing, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This invention introduces new voxelization techniques to address challenges in processing large, detailed industrial models—such as high computational cost, geometric inconsistencies, and the lack of robust evaluation metrics—aiming to advance high-precision 3D printing. It features three innovations: a refinement technique that achieves conservative voxelization while optimizing memory and computation; a method for handling non-manifold edges and vertices to improve geometric integrity; and new metrics for evaluating voxelization accuracy. Together, these techniques enhance voxelization performance and reliability, enabling more precise and scalable 3D printing solutions.

Multi Hard Disk Drive Cold Plate, Lon Stevens, Kevin Van Pelt, Mohamad El-Batal

Defensive Publications Series

With the increase in CPU and GPU power, more and more servers require liquid cooling. Some newer data centers have been designed with the ability to only cool with liquid. High density HDD storage enclosures, though, have only been designed for air cooling. In addition, it may be possible to cool HDDs to lower temperatures with liquid cooling and at the same time significantly reducing acoustic generation, as no, or smaller, fans would be needed to cool the enclosure. This paper looks at ways a high-density HDD storage enclosure can be liquid cooled.

Partial Encapsulation Of Thermal Interface Material To Improve Performance, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure presents a novel Thermal Interface Material (TIM) encapsulation method designed to enhance thermal contact between electrical or optical components and associated cooling structures such as heatsinks, test slugs, or housings for optical modules. While existing high-performance TIMs offer superior thermal conductivity, their adoption has been constrained due to fragility, particle detachment, or lack of adhesive properties, resulting in compromised reliability and performance. The disclosed solution employs partial encapsulation of the TIM between thin protective foils, such as aluminum, copper, or polymer films. This encapsulation secures the TIM, prevents shifting, contains particle debris, and provides mechanical robustness. Additionally, strategically …

Dataset Identifiers In Machine Learning Model Signature For Lineage Tracing, Lenord Melvix Joseph Stephen Max

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure introduces a method for embedding fingerprints of training datasets used for model training into machine learning model checkpoints and signatures. This allows for auditable lineage tracing of datasets used in model training, even for models that are derived from a base model (or part of a sequence). Each authorized dataset is registered with a unique identifier that includes its size, number of examples, and provenance. The dataset fingerprint is carried over to subsequent models, along with new fingerprints for any additional datasets used for training of the subsequent models. A checkpoint saving system cross-validates training dataset size against …

Automating Geospatial Analysis Using Large Language Models And Code Execution In A Persistent Environment, Patrik Blohmé, Ananya Gupta, Gearoid Murphy, Sameera Ponda, Danusch Merrikh-Yazdi, Gia Jung, Renee Johnston, Marcin Sieniek

Defensive Publications Series

Sustainability professionals, urban planners, clean energy developers, and other professionals encounter substantial challenges in efficiently analyzing and utilizing geospatial data for decision-making related to location opportunities, accessibility, and asset placement. Traditional approaches involve complex, multi-step workflows that require specialized expertise and time-consuming analysis across disparate data sources, resulting in substantial delays before actionable insights can be derived. This disclosure describes techniques for automating geospatial workflows over multiple datasets from varied sources, facilitated by large language model (LLM) agents. The techniques enable users to efficiently query geospatial data and receive insights through an AI-driven process that minimizes complexity and reduces time …

Performance Sensitivity-Guided Job Placement, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A system for managing computational tasks in a data center environment is provided. The system comprises a performance analysis pipeline and a resource management component. The performance analysis pipeline determines a relative performance characteristic for an application based on its sensitivity to hardware attributes, such as memory locality or access latency. The resource management component receives scheduling requests and utilizes the determined relative performance characteristics to solve an optimization problem focused on maximizing aggregate application performance across a plurality of machines.

Novel Ejector Latch Detection Mechanism Using Proximity Sensor In Pluggable Circuit Pack, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to a latch detection mechanism for pluggable circuit packs used in networking equipment, such as modules, line cards, plugs, or blades inserted into network element housings. Existing latch solutions are limited by insufficient finger access to Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules and optical fibers, low detection resolution causing delayed redundancy activation, excessive faceplate space requirements, and mechanical reliability concerns. To address these issues, the proposed design positions the ejector latch away from the faceplate by extending the faceplate itself, creating improved manual access to optical components. The latch incorporates a spring-loaded lever mechanism and integrates a …
