    Fan Failure Prediction Using PC Telemetry Data

    No full text
    An automated predictive algorithm has been designed to predict PC fan issues and failures before they occur. The solution leverages fan & thermal telemetry data along with detected fan errors to develop several predictive models for multiple thermal failure modes. Examples of machine learning techniques used include regression and anomaly detection. The final predictive algorithm is used to notify users of fan failures in advance, so that maintenance can occur before issues arise. The solution consists of three main steps, 1) correlate thermal PC telemetry data with fan error data, 2) design fan error predictive models for each error type, 3) develop final predictive algorithm for notifying users

    A PC parallel port button box provides millisecond response time accuracy under Linux

    No full text
    For psychologists, it is sometimes necessary to measure people's reaction times to the nearest millisecond. This article describes how to use the PC parallel port to receive signals from a button box to achieve millisecond response time accuracy. The workings of the parallel port, the corresponding port addresses, and a simple Linux program for controlling the port are described. A test of the speed and reliability of button box signal detection is reported. If the reader is moderately familiar with Linux, this article should provide sufficient instruction for him or her to build and test his or her own parallel port button box. This article also describes how the parallel port could be used to control an external apparatus

    This invention is to enhance PC performance by adding water fog in the system fan outlet. Enhance PC performance by lower heatsink temperature. Lowering heatsink temperature can be done by higher airflow speed and lower airflow temperature. Limited spacing and heatsink design and constrain CPU performance. CPU temperature will impact the boost behavior and duration. FAN speed and acoustic noise concern

    Millisecond accuracy video display using OpenGL under Linux

    No full text
    To measure people’s reaction times to the nearest millisecond, it is necessary to know exactly when a stimulus is displayed. This article describes how to display stimuli with millisecond accuracy on a normal CRT monitor, using a PC running Linux. A simple C program is presented to illustrate how this may be done within X Windows using the OpenGL rendering system. A test of this system is reported that demonstrates that stimuli may be consistently displayed with millisecond accuracy. An algorithm is presented that allows the exact time of stimulus presentation to be deduced, even if there are relatively large errors in measuring the display time

    COOLING FAN WITH MULTI-PIEZO ELEMENTS FOR WIRELESS CONTROL

    No full text
    A cooling fan works by acquiring voltage supply, receiving PWM signal from controller, and providing speed feedback back to control for monitor. Traditionally, this connection in a PC system is achieved by using solid wires and connector to link cooling fan and main board controller. In slim form factor PC system, the space is limited so only small connector and thinner wires could be used
