Abstract:
An enclosure forms a plurality of tiers vertically stacked in a longitudinal dimension, each tier supporting two lateral stacks of printed circuit board cards. Each tier has an associated distribution plenum contiguous to a top longitudinal end of the tier and an associated exhaust plenum contiguous to a bottom longitudinal end of the tier. A pump receives air from a pump plenum, and pressurizes the distribution plenum with that air. The distribution plenum distributes the pressurized air through jets in the top of the tier, creating directed streams of cooling air. In the tier, the air flows longitudinally to the exhaust plenum on the bottom of the tier. The air laterally enters the enclosure via the pump plenum, and laterally exits the enclosure via the exhaust plenum.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reducing contamination of an image transfer surface in an image transfer device includes a charging device for charging the image transfer surface. An airflow control system ventilates the charging device and restricts airflow adjacent the image transfer surface.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a network configuration and method where a first device that is unconfigured and connected to the network sends over the network a request for IP configuration information. Responsive to the request for IP configuration information from the first device, a second device that is configured for and connected to the network, responds with at least a portion of its IP configuration information. The at least a portion of the IP configuration of the second device is used to create IP configuration information for the first device.
Abstract:
A data storage device includes a cross point array of resistive memory elements and a plurality of blocking elements. The device is arranged in groups. Each group includes series-connected memory elements and a blocking element. The blocking elements are used to prevent sneak path currents from interfering with sense currents during read operations.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of targeting a multi-cast message, comprising the steps of gathering user information related to one or more users, categorizing the user information into one or more interest categories, associating respective ones of the users with ones of the interest categories, receiving service information from a service provider, determining an association between the received service information and ones of the interest categories to determine at least one associated interest category, selecting users using the at least one associated interest category to determine selected users and communicating the received service information to the selected users using the multi-cast message.
Abstract:
A loop thermosyphon system has a semiconductor die with a plurality of microchannels. A condenser is in fluid communication with the microchannels. A wicking structure wicks fluid between the condenser to the semiconductor die.
Abstract:
A first heat sink is built including two sets of fins with a gap between the two fin sets. The gap is configured to allow the placement of a second heat sink between the two fin sets of the first heat sink. The first heat sink also includes slotted mounting lugs to allow the second heat sink to be mounted to the first heat sink allowing for varying stack up tolerances of the heat generating devices cooled by the first and second heat sinks.
