Modular Data Center Cooling
William Hamburgen,Jimmy Clidaras,Winnie Leung,David W. Stiver,Jonathan David Beck,Andrew B. Carlson,Steven T. Y. Chow,Gregory P. Imwalle,Amir Meir Michael +8 more
TL;DR: A datacenter cooling apparatus includes a portable housing having lifting and transporting structures for moving the apparatus, opposed sides in the housing, at least one of the opposed sides defining one or more air passage openings arranged to capture warmed air from rack-mounted electronics, opposed ends in the house, and one or multiple cooling coils associated with the housing to receive and cool the captured warm air, and provide the cooled air for circulation into a data-center workspace as mentioned in this paper.
Patent
Cooling servers in a data center using fans external to servers
TL;DR: In this paper, a data center is arranged into a hot aisle and a cold aisle, where the hot aisle is adjacent to a second side of the rack-mounted servers and has a lower pressure than the cold aisle.
Patent
Direct tie-in of a backup power source to motherboards in a server system
TL;DR: In this article, the need for an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) in a data center is obviated by tying a DC voltage from a backup power source directly to the motherboards of multiple servers in the data center.

High-efficiency server design
Eitan Frachtenberg,Ali Heydari,Harry Li,Amir Meir Michael,Jacob Na,Avery Nisbet,Pierluigi Sarti +6 more
TL;DR: This paper calculates and confirms experimentally that their custom-designed servers can reduce power consumption across the entire load spectrum while at the same time lower acquisition and maintenance costs.
Patent
Adaptive fan control based on server configuration
TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive control algorithm is selected based on a detected configuration of the system's components, which may be detected upon startup of a system, and a fan controller receives the component temperatures from one or more sensor and uses the algorithm to determine the fan speed.
