    摘要: An electronic assembly includes a circuit board that serves as both a mechanical attachment point and signal conduit for electronic components. The circuit board includes at least two modular card connector assemblies disposed on opposing surfaces of a mounting region of the circuit board. Pin sets of the modular card connector assemblies are connected together via corresponding through holes extending between the opposing surfaces in the mounting region. Further, pins of one or both the modular card connector assemblies may be connected to other electronic components disposed at the circuit board via lateral traces. One or both of the modular card connector assemblies can comprise a modular card socket to removably couple with a modular card. Alternatively, one or both of the modular card connector assemblies comprises a pin interface assembly that is integral to or otherwise fixedly attached to the modular card.

    摘要: An electronics chassis has many removable boards on sleds that are interconnected by a honeycomb interconnect structure. Interconnect boards in Y-planes and Z-planes are orthogonal to each other and form cells. Cooling air flows through the cells in an X direction, parallel to surfaces of the interconnect boards. The removable boards have connectors that mate with an edge of Z-divider interconnect boards. Fans blow air through the cells in the honeycomb structure unimpeded since no boards are perpendicular to the airflow. Notches in the rear of the Z-divider boards provide airflow equalization allowing closer spacing of fans to the honeycomb structure. A sled carrier honeycomb structure is placed in front of the honeycomb interconnect structure to guide sleds into position. Sled carrier dividers are offset from the Z-divider boards to allow removable boards to align with Z-divider boards in the Z-planes, parallel to airflow.

    摘要: A contactless connector requires no physical contact. A terminated transmitting transmission line on a first board is parallel to a dual-terminated receiving transmission line on a second board. The boards are placed face-to-face with a small air gap in-between. A driver drives a driven pulse onto a first end of the transmitting transmission line. The driven pulse capacitively induces a positive induced pulse on the first end of the receiving transmission line. As the driven pulse travels from the first end to the second end of the transmitting transmission line, energy is transferred to the induced pulse, which travels down the receiving transmission line. Inductive coupling becomes stronger than capacitive as the length increases, so that at the second end, the induced pulse is negative and then swings positive. A Schmitt trigger receiver on the second end of the receiving transmission line detects the signal.

    摘要: Processing nodes in a 3D torus network topology are connected together via an interconnect that introduces at least one irregularity into the link connections between processing nodes of each ring of the network. Each processing node detects whether there is an irregularity in its links with adjacent processing nodes in a ring. As the sockets or other processing node interfaces of the interconnect are wired to introduce this irregularity and as the positions of the processing nodes within a given ring are relative to this irregularity, the physical location of the processing nodes can be determined based on correlations between physical locations of the sockets relative to the irregularity and the positions of the processing nodes relative to the irregularity. Thus, the relative position of a processing node in the ring can be used to identify the socket with which the processing node is coupled, thereby facilitating network management operations.

    摘要: A technique for optical fiber management in a chassis-based network system involves using a blind mating optical interface at the back of a line card and an optical transceiver interface that is accessible from the front of the line card. The blind mating optical interface and the transceiver interface are optically connected by an optical signal path that includes and optical fiber. When the line card is secured within a compatible chassis, the blind mating optical interface of the line card connects to a blind mating optical interface of the chassis and creates an optical connection between an external optical fiber and the transceiver interface.

    摘要: A joystick that detects position and movement using a capacitive sensor. The joystick has a stick mounted to allow movement within a housing, a conductive element at a first end of the stick, and a capacitive sensor. The capacitive sensor may be a capacitive touchpad. It determines position by measuring the change in capacitance on a set of conductive traces. The capacitive sensor may be shaped as a plane or may be hemispherically-shaped. The conductive element may also be triangular or other distinctive shape to allow detection of movement. An advantage of such a joystick is that absolute positioning may be determined, along with relative positioning.
