Power consumption projection
ActiveUS20110106326A1Effective estimateEnergy costMechanical power/torque controlLevel controlLower limitDecision maker
The present invention provides a way to more effectively estimate energy usage by devices such as servers, including traditional mainframes as well as other enterprise systems. One core idea surrounds the fact that when detailed power consumption information is unavailable for a specific configuration, power consumption is computed / projected / estimated by de-rating the maximum power rating by a power adjustment factor that would more closely project the true power consumption. Under this approach, the power consumption is then provided as a range specifying probable expected lower and upper limits for a given device. This range is more meaningful for planning and decision-making and shows the client a more likely best and worst case energy consumption scenario for their specific device(s), and hence is helpful for planning or server comparison decisions. Cooling, energy costs, energy efficiency, and energy expanded per MIPS are also projected and given as a range instead of a single number. This gives the IT decision maker more accurate information upon which to base IT decision-making.

A protocol for transmitting data from an external device to an electronic device is provided in which the external device transmits a data stream which includes the same data packet repeated multiple times. The data packet has a predetermined length and has a header portion at a predetermined position. A receiver at the electronic device captures a block of data having the predetermined length from the transmitted data stream, and a decoder rotates the captured block of data to place the header portion at the predetermined position within the data packet. This eliminates the need for an accurate jitter-free clock reference at the electronic device. By shifting power consumption and system complexity to the external unit where power is typically not constrained, the energy efficiency of the electronic device can be increased.

Use of enzyme catalysts in co2 pcc processes
A method for processing a stream enriched in CO2 from a gas by the action of an absorbent in the stream includes desorbing CO2 from the stream by application of heat to the stream to desorb the CO2 and regenerate the absorbent in a reaction system that includes reconstitution of carbon dioxide and an alkanolamine from carbamate and ammonium ion solution. The energy requirement is materially reduced by the presence of a biocatalyst. In another aspect, a gas stream is contacted with a sorbent system to effect absorption of CO2 from the gas stream, the sorbent and absorbed CO2 are separated from the gas stream to form a CO2-rich stream, and the sorbent system contains a primary or secondary alkanolamine and a catalyst selected to modify the reaction kinetics of the absorption process so as to materially increase the proportion of bicarbonate in the CO2-rich stream relative to carbamate.
