Title: Managing the cooling of a information handling unit by applying the thermal profiles of the other units in a server housing to its own thermal profile
Inventor: LINDELL DONALD
IPC: G06F1/20
Filed: 2006-11-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing the cooling of information handling systems, such as computer blades or other such units inside a server housing, rack or frame. The information handling system has a housing, in which processing elements or components of the system are placed. Placed inside the housing is a cooling fan near the processing elements to provide a cooling airflow. The fan is controlled by a management processor that selects the speed of the fan based on the environmental conditions detected and a cooling (or thermal) profile of the information handling system. The cooling profile of the system is provided by a cooling profile engine that can adjust the profile when a change to the processing elements or the hardware configuration in the housing is detected. The profile engine also applies the thermal profiles of the other information handling systems inside the server housing to adjust its cooling profile. When a new element is added the profile may be adjusted by obtaining the profile of the new element either from the element or from an online database eg from the server network.

Title: Elevating mechanism for a light field gun such as a howitzer
Inventor: EAGLESTONE DAVID ANDREW
IPC: F41A27/08
Filed: 2008-12-17
Abstract: A light field gun 100 includes a barrel 2, a cradle 4 supporting the barrel, a bearing 6 for varying the azimuth of the barrel 2 and a linkage 20, 38 for varying the elevation of the azimuth bearing 6 and hence the elevation of the barrel. The bearing 6 is mounted in a pivot body 8, the pivot body 8 rotating about a trunnion axis to vary the elevation of the barrel. The pivot body 8 is connected via pivotable joints 11, 13 to front and back legs 10, 12 of the gun. The front leg 10 is extendable by means of sleeve 34 and arm 36 such that the foremost point of contact with the ground 28 is forward of the gun's centre of gravity to avoid tipping during counter-recoil. By directly elevating the azimuth bearing 6 by means of the linkage 20, 38 there is no need to add a component for varying the elevation, such as a saddle, to the bearing. This reduces moments and bending forces in the gun. The breech is also made closer to the bearing and trunnions and so the height of the breech varies less with varying elevation.
