摘要:
A first printed circuit board is built including one or more openings configured to correspond to heat-generating devices attached to a second printed circuit board. The first and second printed circuit boards are aligned with each other and a heat sink, such that the heat sink is thermally coupled with heat-generating electronic devices on both the first and second printed circuit boards. Heat-generating devices are thermally coupled with a thermal pad on one or more of the printed circuit boards. The thermal pad is then thermally coupled with the heat sink. Optionally, the first and second printed circuit boards may be electrically coupled with each other through an electrical connector.

Described is a technology by which magnetic flux is used to provide backup power. A transformer has a line power source controllably coupled to a first input winding, and secondary power source controllably coupled to a second input winding. A controller monitors the line power and switches to the secondary power source if the line power voltage drops too low, or uses the secondary power source to augment the line power source if the line power current gets too high. Also described is incrementally transitioning from the secondary power source back to the line power source.

Computational enclosures may be designed to distribute power from power supplies to load units (e.g., processors, storage devices, or network routers). The architecture may affect the efficiency, cost, modularity, accessibility, and space utilization of the components within the enclosure. Presented herein are power distribution architectures involving a distribution board oriented along a first (e.g., vertical) axis within the enclosure, comprising a power interconnect configured to distribute power among a set of load boards oriented along a second (e.g., lateral) axis and respectively connecting with a set of load units oriented along a third (e.g., sagittal) axis, and a set of power supplies also oriented along the third axis. This orientation may compactly and proximately position the loads near the power supplies in the distribution system, and result in a comparatively low local current that enables the use of printed circuit boards for the distribution board and load boards.

An electronic device comprises a first chassis, a second chassis, and at least one flexible circuit extending therebetween. The first chassis is oriented along a first axis and comprises at least one first microprocessor. The second chassis is oriented along a second axis and comprises at least one power generating component. The flexible circuit comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connectable to the first chassis and the second end is connectable to the second chassis. The first chassis is movable relative to the second chassis between a position wherein the first axis is substantially perpendicular to the second axis and a position wherein the first axis is substantially parallel to the second axis.

Embodiments of a routing system for electronic module assemblies are disclosed that may incorporate a module base having at least one routing end and a channel formed across a length of the at least one routing end, wherein the channel has a dimension that allows a wire to be routed from the module base to a connection point external to the module base and allows the wire to be bent within the channel in a direction of the connection point.
摘要:
An optical fiber pressure sensing catheter and a method for using such for detecting a discrete pressure within an organ such as an esophagus. The catheter comprises an elongated hollow body having a wall, a closed proximal end, a closed distal end, and a lumen therebetween. The wall is generally noncompressible by pressure normally exerted thereupon by the organ within which the catheter is inserted except for at least one discrete sensing area of the wall having sufficient flexibility so as to be compressible by pressure exerted thereupon by the organ within which the catheter is inserted. The catheter further comprises at least one sensing optical fiber disposed within the lumen. The optical fiber further comprises a pressure sensing means which is a portion of the optical fiber adjacent the discrete sensing area of the wall. The sensing portion is deformable in response to compression of the discrete sensing area of the wall, which deformation causes attenuation of light transmitted through the fiber. The catheter may further comprise a reference optical fiber disposed within the lumen of the body for use as a comparator with the sensing optical fiber. The catheter may further comprise a positioning assembly disposed within the lumen adjacent the discrete sensing area of the wall for positioning the sensing portion of the sensing optical fiber in a sensing position. The catheter may comprise a plurality of optical fibers and a plurality of discrete sensing areas.
