Title: Specifying disaggregated compute system
Inventor: EUGEN SCHENFELD
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2017-03-09
Abstract: Server resources in a data center are disaggregated into shared server resource pools. Servers are constructed dynamically, on-demand and based on workload requirements, by allocating from these resource pools. A disaggregated compute system of this type keeps track of resources that are available in the shared server resource pools, and it manages those resources based on that information. Each server entity built is assigned with a unique server ID, and each resource that comprises a component thereof is tagged with the identifier. As a workload is processed by the server entity, its composition may change, e.g. by allocating more resources to the server entity, or by de-allocating resources from the server entity. Workload requests are associated with the unique server ID for the server entity. When a workload request is received at a resource, it matches its unique server ID to that of the request before servicing the request.

Title: Digital input humidity countermeasure
Inventor: FRANCISC SZASZ
IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 2019-09-26
Abstract: Circuit preventing accidental enable of a digital circuit due to presence of an indeterminate voltage on a digital input. The circuit comprises a digital input (one or more pins) connected to a digital output. Further, a first resistor (R1) is connected to the digital input, and a bipolar transistor (T1) whereby base is coupled to digital output, its emitter coupled to digital input, and an electronic component (e.g diode or bipolar transistor) connected between the base and emitter and a second resistor (R2) connected to the digital output, wherein the resistors (R1, R2) and the transistor (T1) are configured such that the transistor activates and limits the voltage (e.g ~0.7V above ground) at the digital input if the voltage potential at the digital input becomes higher than the voltage potential at the digital output. The indeterminate voltage on the input pin(s) may be caused by humidity (water moisture) which makes an electrical connection of finite resistance between the input pin(s) and a power supply pin or any high-potential pin. The circuit operates both as an active clamp (limiter) circuit and an active bleeder circuit, bolstering the effect of the bleed resistors (R1,R2) and whereby the input voltage limit is dependent on the digital output voltage. Both PNP & NPN bipolar alternatives are disclosed (figures 2,4). A circuit board may comprise the electronic circuit encapsulated in common housing. Accidental enabling of automotive circuits are prevented in high humidity conditions.
