Abstract:
A socket activation assembly is configured to close over a component and drive a gear during closure that activates a socket to engage the component.
Abstract:
An assembly comprises a frame adapted to mount an electronic device having a thickness within a range of thicknesses. The frame is adapted to assemble to a heat sink assembly after the electronic device is mounted. The assembly further comprises at least one spring adapted to secure the electronic device to the frame.
Abstract:
An apparatus in one example comprises a plurality of levers that convert a lesser input force to a greater output force for support of a heatsink component coupled with an electronic component.
Abstract:
A heat sink includes a base having first and second regions, a first fin of a first type disposed on the first region of the base, and a second fin of a second type disposed on the second region of the base. The first and second regions of the base may be integral with or attached to one another. Such a heat sink can dissipate heat from multiple electronic components with the respective fin type that is most cost effective for each respective component. Using such a heat sink often reduces manufacturing time and costs as compared to using a separate heat sink for each component. In addition, such a heat sink can dissipate heat from multiple regions of a single electronic component with the respective fin type that is most cost effective for each region.
Abstract:
An assembly comprises a frame configured to mount an electronic device and assemble to a heat sink. The assembly further comprises at least one self-locking fastener adapted to lock into place and secure the heat sink to the frame on aligned compression of the heat sink toward the framed.
Abstract:
Example systems and methods associated with positioning and securing an electronic module to a circuit board are described. In one embodiment, an electronic module comprises at least one connectible portion configured to connect to a circuit board and at least one extended portion having an opening therethrough. In one example, the opening can be configured to maintain a threaded device and to allow the threaded device to move within the opening. The threaded device can be configured to engage a securing device for adjustably securing the at least one extended portion to the circuit board
Abstract:
A liquid loop cooling apparatus includes tubing enclosing an interior bore or lumen within which a cooling fluid can circulate, a moveable cold plate rigidly coupled to the tubing, and at least one flexible bellows coupled to the tubing and flexibly enabling movement of the moveable cold plate.
Abstract:
A computing system includes a circuit board, a first connector portion electrically connected to the circuit board, an electronic component and a plurality of resilient support members. The electronic component includes a first electronic device, a second connector portion electrically coupled to the electronic device and connected to the first connector portion along an axis. The plurality of resilient support members are asymmetrically located about the axis and extend between the device and the circuit board.
Abstract:
Described are devices for cooling a component, and methods thereof. The device includes a base that can be coupled to the component so that heat is transferred from the component to the base. The device also includes fins coupled to the base. The fins are arranged to funnel air from an air intake end of the device toward a location on the base.
Abstract:
An electronic device cooling system includes a heat exchange unit; at least one cooling interface disposed at a heat-transfer interface of an electronic device, where the cooling interface is thermally coupled to the heat exchange unit; and a heat exhaust that is thermally coupled to the heat exchange unit. The heat exhaust exhausts heat from the heat exchange unit to a remote location from the electronic device.
