Abstract: A self contained cooling system which is amenable to miniaturization so as to accommodate space and connectivity restrictions implicit in computer and other electronic apparatus while enhancing heat transfer. In use, the cooling systems of this invention use compression/expansion cycles of a refrigerant material to move thermal energy from one location to another. The compressor, condenser, and evaporator are all contained within a volume consistent with mounting directly on a semiconductor device such as a processor.

Abstract: A chip sandwich includes a heat sink, a retention module, a computer chip mounted in a socket on a mother board, a wave washer spring and a mounting plate. The heat sink is mounted on the retention module using cams, hooks and heat sink tabs to provide an initial orientation of the heat sink over the computer chip. To provide final contact pressure between the heat sink and the computer chip, a wave washer spring oriented beneath the computer chip and under the mother board provides an upward pressure against the bottom of the mother board, and particularly against the center of the computer chip. Thus, by the wave washer spring pushing against the center of the computer chip, secure contact pressure is provided between the heat sink and the computer chip, while minimizing the amount of pressure between the computer chip's pins and the chip socket.

Abstract: A retention module firmly secures a heat sink for a computer chip. The retention module is oriented about the computer chip on a circuit board. The retention module has a rotatable wire form that has two loops. When the rotatable wire form is rotated, the two loops press against an impingement shelf on the heat sink, forcing the heat sink against the retention module and the computer chip. The two loops are angularly offset to each other, thus compensating for torsion lag between the two loops when the two loops are pressed against the impingement shelf.

Abstract: A system for holding a device in a computer system, the computer system including a drive cage for holding the device, is disclosed. The system comprises a first rail coupled to one side of the device and adapted to fit into the drive cage and a second rail coupled to the device at a side opposite the one side and adapted to fit into the drive cage, wherein the first and second rails are coupled to the device without requiring a tool. Computer systems utilizing the system in accordance with the present invention, will be better equipped to handle the acoustic vibrations created during the operation of different types of drives such as Direct Access and Storage Devices (DASDs). Accordingly, this will enable computer system manufacturers to incorporate faster DASDs without acoustically coupling the DASD to the chassis. Furthermore, by employing a screw-less rail, PC manufacturers and users will no longer be required to use a tool to remove the attached rails. This facilitates the easy removal and reinstallation of DASDs when interchanging computer components.
