International Classification:

G01W 1/00

US Classification:

340601, 34082529, 340595

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention present an apparatus coupled to an internal bus for monitoring environmental factors in a computer system including: an embedded controller having a processor; an environmental sensor that provides data related to environmental conditions; a reset generator; and a power source. A LAN interface may be configured to remotely access and control the embedded controller. Further, the internal bus may be selected from any of the following: a PCI bus, an ISA bus, a DIMM slot, a SIMM slot, a PCMCIA slot, or a server blade slot. Still further, the environmental sensor may be selected from any of the following: a DC electrical sensor; an AC electrical sensor; a temperature sensor; a humidity sensor; a force monitor sensor; a signal monitor sensor; an electrostatic discharge sensor; an activity sensor; an optical particulate sensor; a Hall Effect sensor; a global positioning sensor; or a whisker detection sensor.

International Classification:

G06F 1/04

US Classification:

713600, 713400

Abstract:

A computer system provides for connecting consecutively positioned modules to operate collectively as server. Each module calculates a modulo difference between its position and that of a module serving as a clock source; each module selects a clock input as a function of the result of that calculation.

Kenneth Konesky - North Highlands CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714004000

Abstract:

One embodiment disclosed relates to a high-availability cluster apparatus having a plurality of computing nodes and a hardware interface configured to connect to each of said nodes. The internode connections are coupled to the hardware interface to communicate node status signals between said nodes. A node is removable from being connected to the hardware interface without interrupting a topological continuity of the internode connections. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
