Abstract: An apparatus and method for inducing multiaxial vibrations to simulate an environment for transporting a stack of products is provided. A lower platform is provided for inducing uniaxial vibrations. A link is connected to the lower platform by a lower end of the link. The upper end of the link has a universal joint, through which the link is connected to an upper platform. The upper platform has a top surface, on which the stack of products can be placed. In operations, the uniaxial vibrations of the lower platform are transferred to the upper platform through the link and the universal joint, to induce pivotal movement of the upper platform with respect to the shaft of the link. As a result, multiaxial vibrations can be induced to the stack of products placed on the top surface of the upper platform.

Abstract: A latch mechanism is provided for latching a field-replaceable unit within an enclosure. The latch mechanism includes a pivotable latch coupled to the field-replaceable unit via a pivot, at a first side of the unit, and a spring member associated with the enclosure. The spring member is engaged by the latch and deflects with rotating of the latch from an open position to a latched position. The pivotable latch includes the first end and a second end, with the pivot being disposed closer to the first end than the second. The deflecting spring member facilitates provision of positive pressure on the unit directed towards a second side of the unit opposite to the first side to facilitate, for example, fixedly coupling a first connector at the second side to a second connector associated with the enclosure when the unit is latched within the enclosure.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于将外壳中的现场可更换单元锁定的闩锁机构。 闩锁机构包括可枢转闩锁，其通过枢轴在该单元的第一侧和与该外壳相关联的弹簧构件联接到该现场可更换单元。 弹簧构件通过闩锁接合并且随着闩锁的旋转从打开位置偏转到闩锁位置。 可枢转闩锁包括第一端和第二端，其中枢轴设置成比第二端更靠近第一端。 偏转弹簧构件有助于在单元上朝向与第一侧相对的单元的第二侧提供正压力，以便例如在第二侧固定地将第二连接器固定地连接到与外壳相关联的第二连接器 机组锁定在机箱内。
