    Abstract: A cold plate assembly for cooling heat-generating electrical component on a circuit board is disclosed. The cold plate assembly includes a cold plate with a bottom contact surface to thermally contact the heat-generating electrical component. The cold plate has an inlet coupler on an opposite top surface to receive coolant; an internal conduit to circulate the received coolant; and an outlet coupler on the opposite top surface to return the coolant. A flexible metal inlet tube is fluidly connected to the inlet coupler to supply coolant. A flexible metal outlet tube is fluidly connected to the outlet coupler to return coolant.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a connector assembly for a liquid manifold within a server rack. The connector assembly includes a pipe configured to connect to the liquid manifold. The pipe has a flexible portion configured to accommodate at least one of lateral or vertical manipulation of the pipe while the pipe remains connected to the liquid manifold. The connector assembly further includes a first connector and a second connector configured to form a liquid-tight connection when coupled together. One of the first connector and the second connector is connected to a distal end of the pipe. The other of the first connector and the second connector is configured to connect to a component within the server rack, for supplying coolant from the liquid manifold to the component.

    Abstract: A pattern reconfigurable antenna includes a radiator, a first parasitic element, a second parasitic element, a ground plane, a first switch and a second switch. The radiator includes a feed portion and a radiating portion that are interconnected. The first and second parasitic elements are symmetrically located at two opposite sides of the radiating portion, and are closely adjacent to and spaced apart from the radiating portion. The ground plane is located at another side of the radiating portion, and is spaced apart from the first and second parasitic elements. Each of the first and second switches is connected between the ground plane and a respective one of the first and second parasitic elements, and is operable to establish connection between the same.

    Abstract: An apparatus for dynamic thermal control is provided. The apparatus includes a fan module with multiple fan units, a deflection member configured to direct airflow received from the fan module, and a system component. The apparatus also includes a chassis management controller (CMC). The CMC is coupled to the fan module, deflection member, and the system component. The CMC is configured to dynamically control the deflection member to direct airflow from the fan module to the system component by accounting for at least one environmental element within the apparatus.

    Abstract: A junction between two circuit board segments can be made using a flexible printed circuit board (PCB), permitting the two circuit board segments to be movably positioned with respect to one another, while maintaining electrical connections between the board segments through the junction. Such a design with flexible PCB junctions can allow a single, foldable board with multiple board segments to be used in place of a set of multiple circuit boards that must couple together using connectors and cables.
