20140083836 | REDUCED OUTPUT RATE COKE OVEN OPERATION WITH GAS SHARING PROVIDING EXTENDED PROCESS CYCLE - The present technology is generally directed to systems and methods of controlling or reducing the output rate of a coke oven through gas sharing providing an extended process cycle. In some embodiments, a method of gas sharing between coke ovens to decrease a coke production rate includes operating a plurality of coke ovens to produce coke and heated exhaust gases. In some embodiments, a first coke oven is offset in operation cycle from a second coke oven. The method further includes directing the heated exhaust gases from the first coke oven to the second coke oven while the second coke oven is mid-cycle. The heat transfer allows the second coke oven to extend its cycle while staying above a critical operating temperature. By extending the operational cycle while generally maintaining output per cycle, overall production is decreased. | 03-27-2014 |

20110172665 | ADJUSTABLE BONE STABILIZING FRAME SYSTEM - By providing components securable to anchor pins or screws of different diameters as well as providing clamps which hold associated pins in any position during adjustments, an external fixation or adjustable frame structure is provided which is capable of being quickly and easily assembled in any desired configuration. In the present invention, the frame structure is retained in any assembled configuration in order to allow final adjustments to be made, prior to the final securement of the frame assembly in the precisely desired configuration by closure of each clamp member. In this way, an entire frame assembly is capable of being constructed, adjusted, and readjusted in order to assure each component is oriented in the precisely desired position prior to final closure of the clamping members. In one preferred embodiment, the clamping members employed in the frame structure of the present invention incorporate friction pins internally mounted in each clamp which engages the rod member once this rod is inserted into the jaws of the clamp. In this way, any rod member inserted into the clamping jaws contacts the surface of the jaws and the friction pin, preventing the rod member from sliding or moving relative to the clamp. In addition, by incorporating a uniquely constructed, moving wedge plate that is adjustably engageable with any cooperating anchor pin, secure affixation of the mounting member with the anchor pins of any diameter is easily achieved, regardless of the orientation configuration, or diameter of the anchor pin. | 07-14-2011 |

20100102633 | CONNECTION BETWEEN MACHINES AND POWER SOURCE - Machines may be connected to power distribution units (PDU/STSs) in such a way that if one PDU/STS fails or is taken out of service, the machines' loads are shifted more-or-less evenly to the other PDU/STSs. Several PDU/STSs may be provided for a group of dual-corded machines. The two cords of each machine are connected to a pair of PDU/STSs. Different pairs of PDU/STSs may be used for different machines. In normal operation, each machine may draw part of its power through each of the two cords. If one PDU/STS to which a machine is connected fails or is taken out of service, the entire load on that machine may be shifted to its remaining cord. Since redistribution may be approximately even across PDU/STSs, tolerance for one PDU/STS failure can be implemented with relatively little over-sizing of the PDU/STSs. | 04-29-2010 |

20100141039 | HIGH AVAILABILITY, HIGH EFFICIENCY DATA CENTER ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION - Unlike symmetric power feeds for dual-corded server environments, an asymmetrical power system for high availability environments uses an imbalanced power feed system, allowing lower cost implementation and, in some cases, reduced energy loss in the primary power supply path. One asymmetric power feed uses a direct power feed to supply normal operating power and uses a second system to supply back up power via a switched, conditioned, path with UPS and generator. Because the main power delivery is through the direct line, reliability and power loss are improved. | 06-10-2010 |
20100223085 | MODULARIZATION OF DATA CENTER FUNCTIONS - In one example, a data center may be built in modular components that may be pre-manufactured and separately deployable. Each modular component may provide functionality such as server capacity, cooling capacity, fire protection, resistance to electrical failure. Some components may be added to the data center by connecting them to the center's utility spine, and others may be added by connecting them to other components. The spine itself may be a modular component, so that spine capacity can be expanded or contracted by adding or removing spine modules. The various components may implement functions that are part of standards for various levels of reliability for data centers. Thus, the reliability level that a data center meets may be increased or decreased to fit the circumstances by adding or removing components. | 09-02-2010 |
20110302432 | SUPER CAPACITOR SUPPLEMENTED SERVER POWER - Super capacitor supplemented server power is described. In embodiments, a power system manager is implemented to monitor the capability of one or more power supplies to provide power for a server system. The power system manager can determine that the capability of the power supplies to provide the power is deficient, and then engage one or more super capacitor power modules to provide supplemental power for the server system to mitigate the power deficiency. | 12-08-2011 |

20120242151 | DATA CENTER TOPOLOGY WITH LOW STS USE - Equipment in a data center may be wired in a topology in which each piece of equipment is served by one Static Transfer Switch (STS). Each group of equipment is assigned a main UPS and a reserve UPS, which may be connected to an underlying power source such as a utility. The main UPS and the reserve UPS are connected to the first and second inputs of an STS. For dual-corded equipment, the first cord is served by the output of the STS, while the second cord is served by the main UPS without an intervening STS. Thus, if the main UPS fails, the STS transfers power to the second UPS, thereby allowing the first cord to be powered. The second cord, not being served by the STS, simply loses power, thereby doubling the power draw at the first cord at roughly the same time that the transfer occurs. | 09-27-2012 |
20130342012 | POWER DISTRIBUTION WITH WRAPAROUND BUS - A power distribution system among a set of units (e.g., server blocks) may comprise, for each unit, a utility line and a unit generator, and a reserve generator providing failover transient performance and redundancy improvement to the power for the unit generators. The reserve generator may connect to the units via a reserve bus, and the unit generators may selectively connect to a wraparound bus connected to the reserve bus. When the failover load exceeds the available failover transient capability of one generator, one or more unit generators may (automatically or by operator selection) be connected with the wraparound bus to apply available transient capability to satisfy the excess failover load with minimal increase in power distribution resources and complexity. | 12-26-2013 |
