Abstract: An automatic recirculation airflow damper for use in electronic enclosures utilizing multiple air moving devices to cool electronic components within the enclosure. When an air moving device is removed, the damper automatically closes an orifice associated with the absent air moving device, thus preventing the loss of cooling air from the vacated orifice and the subsequent reduction in cooling capacity. In some embodiments, the damper is attached to the enclosure with hinges. In certain embodiments, the damper is configured with elastomeric material such that the interface between the orifice and the damper offers high impedance to airflow while the damper is in a closed position. The automatic recirculation airflow damper reduces electronic thermal failures and therefore increases the reliability of a system equipped with the device.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus, system, and method for enabling the installation of an installable device configured with a required component in a receiving device. A component deactivated interlock obstructs the installation of the installable device when not configured with the required component. The invention makes use of an extendable and retractable plunger disposed upon the installable device, a stop barrier disposed upon the receiving device, and an actuator disposed upon the required component. The plunger normally extends beyond the installable device, and upon contacting the stop barrier of the receiving device obstructs the installation. Upon a physical connection of the required component with the installable device, the actuator retracts the plunger, thereby enabling the installation of the installable device.

Abstract: A low profile cam latch assembly is provided for use installation and removal of associated components into a rack or chassis. An elongated cam arm and a mating retainer are fixedly mounted to an associated component. The elongated cam arm includes a pivot mounted trigger member releasably engaged with the mating retainer to retain or lock the cam arm in a closed position. The elongated cam arm includes a recessed hook shape defined together with an outwardly extending finger grip with the cam are rotated out in an open position. The finger hook shape and finger grip are arranged for engagement by a thumb or finger of a user for removal of the associated component.
