The controller circuitry is arranged to measure an impedance of the apparatus, to determine an estimated temperature of the apparatus in response to the measured impedance, to compare the estimated temperature against a temperature threshold for delineating an operating temperature range of the apparatus, and to toggle an activation state of the transducer in response to comparing the estimated temperature against the temperature threshold.
Impedance measurement for a haptic load
In some implementations, a measurement circuit may drive, using a first transistor, a first node of a haptic load. The measurement circuit may trigger a first comparator when a voltage driving the haptic load satisfies a first condition. The first comparator may have a first node connected, in parallel, to a drain of a second transistor and may have a second node connected to the first node of the haptic load. Additionally, the second transistor may have a gate connected to a gate of the first transistor and may have the drain connected to a first reference current.
Hold-Up Capacitance Health Measurement With Current Leakage Detection
Circuits for measuring a leakage current of one or more capacitors coupled to a power supply line that powers an apparatus, such as a storage device, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the circuit includes first and second resistors between the power supply line, and first and second respective switches to ground. A controller may charge the voltage line to a first voltage. Thereafter, the controller discharges the first voltage to a second voltage via the first resistor during a first identified time. After recharging the voltage line, the controller then discharge the first voltage to the second voltage via at least the second resistor during a second identified time. The controller determines the parasitic resistance using the first and second identified times, and then the leakage current from the parasitic resistance. Removing the leakage current factor from subsequent measurements can greatly improve testing accuracy and can avoid false positives in the testing process that would otherwise require removal of drives or other systems that are working properly.

Direct leak detection for liquid cooled servers
An apparatus and system are provided for detecting leaks in cooling tubing using sensor cabling. In the leak detection system, a leak detection cable is routed along the full length of the cooling tube. The leak detection cable and the cooling tubing are encased within a shrunken tube, which leaves such a small gap between the cooling tubing and the heat-shrunk tube that leakage is distributed within the gap about the outside of the cooling tubing by capillary action. The relative position of the detection cable above or below the cooling tubing is then irrelevant, since the capillary action may overcome the effect of gravity and distribute leakage from the bottom of the tubing to a detection cable at the top of the tubing.
