Abstract: A multi-chip module (MCM) structure comprises more than one semiconductor chip lying in a horizontal plane, the MCM having individual chip contact patches on the chips and a flexible heat sink having lateral compliance and extending in a plane in the MCM and secured in a heat exchange relation to the chips through the contact patches. The MCM has a mismatch between the coefficient of thermal expansion of the heat sink and the MCM and also has chip tilt and chip height mismatches. The flexible heat sink with lateral compliance minimizes or eliminates shear stress and shear strain developed in the horizontal direction at the interface between the heat sink and the chip contact patches by allowing for horizontal expansion and contraction of the heat sink relative to the MCM without moving the individual chip contact patches in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: A data center cooling system is operated in a first mode; it has an indoor portion wherein heat is absorbed from components in the data center, and an outdoor heat exchanger portion wherein outside air is used to cool a first heat transfer fluid (e.g., water) present in at least the outdoor heat exchanger portion of the cooling system during the first mode. The first heat transfer fluid is a relatively high performance heat transfer fluid (as compared to the second fluid), and has a first heat transfer fluid freezing point. A determination is made that an appropriate time has been reached to switch from the first mode to a second mode. Based on this determination, the outdoor heat exchanger portion of the data cooling system is switched to a second heat transfer fluid, which is a relatively low performance heat transfer fluid, as compared to the first heat transfer fluid. It has a second heat transfer fluid freezing point lower than the first heat transfer fluid freezing point, and the second heat transfer fluid freezing point is sufficiently low to operate without freezing when the outdoor air temperature drops below a first predetermined relationship with the first heat transfer fluid freezing point.

Abstract: In an automated library, data cartridges, such as magnetic tape cartridges, are stored in storage cells and accessed by data storage drives. An accessor with a gripper transports cartridges between storage cells and storage drives. Cartridges are prioritized according to their relative importance. A processor manages the placement of the cartridges in cells by having higher priority cartridges stored closer to the front of multi-cartridge cells than cartridges with a lower priority. Cartridges with a higher priority may also be stored closer to a storage drive than cartridges with a lower priority. A pusher may be used to push cartridges towards the front of multi-cartridge cells with an empty position to enable the gripper to reach the front cartridge.
