摘要:
According to some embodiments, an arrangement is provided for cooling a heat-generating device, including a memory module (e.g., a small outline dual inline memory module), in a system such as a laptop computer. The arrangement includes a heat spreader having a first section including at least one thermally conductive coupling member to thermally engage surfaces of electronic components on the heat-generating device and a second section including at least one spring member to cause pressurized engagement between the first section and the surfaces of the electronic components. The heat spreader may further be thermally coupled to a heat exchanger or a keyboard from which the heat is dissipated. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A system and method for throttling a slave component of a computer system to reduce an overall temperature of the computing system upon receiving a first signal is disclosed. The first signal may be from a master component indicating that a temperature for the master component has exceeded its threshold temperature. The slave component or the master component may be a central processing unit, a graphics memory and controller hub, or a central processing unit memory controller hub. The slave component may send a second signal to indicate that a temperature for the slave component has exceeded its temperature. The master component would then initiate throttling of the master component to reduce the overall temperature of the computing system. The master component may be throttled to a degree less than the slave component. A first component may be designated the master component and the second component may be designated the slave component based on a selection policy. The selection policy may be received from a user through a graphical user interface. The selection policy may be based on an action being performed by the computing system.

A plug-type railcar door (10) includes a substantially planar wall of sheeting (14) reinforced with horizontal channels (16). The door includes plural elongated support members (18) rotatably mounted thereto and selectively rotated by a drive mechanism (50). The support members are mounted to the door via greaseless and oil-free fulcrums (F). The fulcrums include a self-lubricating fulcrum insert (100) substantially surrounding a portion of the associated support member. The insert is made from a high-density polyethylene material. A filler (110) and a cover (126) are dimensioned to substantially surround or encapsulate the fulcrum insert. Mounting flanges on the fulcrum filler and fulcrum cover include openings for receiving fasteners to secure the fulcrum to one of the horizontal reinforcing channels of the railcar door.
摘要:
For use in a printed wiring board, a capacitor, and a method of manufacturing the capacitor. In one embodiment, the capacitor includes: (1) first and second interdigitated finger sets, located on a first layer of the printed wiring board, that employ fringe capacitance to store electrical energy and together form a first capacitor conductor and (2) a second capacitor conductor, located on a second layer of the printed wiring board, that cooperates with the first capacitor conductor to employ plate capacitance to store further electrical energy.

A selectively floatable protective shroud is disclosed for protecting a boat hull from fouling by marine organisms. The assembly consists of an inflatable, elongated toroidal bladder with an inner opening larger than the circumference of the hull of the boat at its water line. The bladder has an inflation nozzle which is connected to a gas pump, for controllably inflating the bladder. A continuous, flexible, water impervious shroud has a circumferential edge mounted about the circumference of the toroidal bladder for protecting the boat hull, when deployed about the boat. By controllably inflating the bladder, the shroud is selectively brought from a submerged position beneath the boat to a deployed position enveloping the hull of the boat so as to protect the hull from fouling by marine organisms. A water pump is disclosed being connected to a water drain nozzle mounted on the flexible shroud, for controllably pumping out sea water from the region between the flexible shroud and the boat hull. Various embodiments for guide members are disclosed which are mounted to the sea bed floor and are connected to the bladder for guiding the shroud from the submerged position to the deployed position enveloping the hull of the boat. Various control and interlock mechanisms are disclosed for conveniently operating the system from onboard the boat.

摘要:
A gaming system comprising a display, an object selector arranged to select at least one object to be placed in each container of a set of a plurality of containers displayed on the display and an outcome generator arranged to determine a game outcome based on at least one characteristic of the object or objects placed in at least part of each container of the set of containers.
摘要:
A system for a vehicle includes a first pressure module and a blockage indication module. The first pressure module receives a signal from a pressure sensor that measures pressure within a fuel vapor purge system. The first pressure module generates a first pressure based on the signal at a first time and generates a second pressure based on the signal at a second time. The second time is after the first time. The blockage indication module indicates whether a blockage is present in the fuel vapor purge system between the pressure sensor and a fuel tank based on a difference between the first and second pressures.
