Abstract
According to some embodiments, a method, system, and apparatus to provide thermal management control. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a control mechanism, a plurality of temperature representative signals from a plurality of temperature sensors, receiving a command signal from the control mechanism by an output weighting matrix mechanism, and controlling at least one thermal cooling device with at least one weighted output signal from the output weighting matrix mechanism.
Claims28
An apparatus comprising:
- a control mechanism to receive a plurality of temperature representative signals;
- and
- an output weighting matrix mechanism to receive a command signal from the control mechanism and, in response thereto, output at least one weighted output signal.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a control mechanism, a plurality of temperature representative signals from at least one temperature sensors;
- providing a command signal from the control mechanism to an output weighting matrix mechanism;
- and
- providing, in response to the command signal, at least one weighted output signal from the output weighting matrix mechanism to control at least one thermal cooling device.
