摘要:
A cam shaft is fitted with one or more sleeve bearings to negate friction between the rotating cam shaft and a surface onto which the cam shaft is rotated. A metal sheet is bent upward or downward by rotating cam shafts from a first position to either a second position or a third position. Rotating a cam shaft from the first position to either the second or the third position forces an offset portion of the cam shaft against a side of a U-bend in the metal sheet. The rotation generates a normal force against the U-bend that is translated to a bending of the metal sheet. The rotation also generates a tangential force. The sleeve bearings negate friction that may be generated by the tangential force.

The rear panel of an electronics enclosure includes one or more heat exchangers. The rear panel can be cooling door configured to provide access to the cables and equipment located within the electronics enclosure. Such access can be provided by swinging the door open on hinges like a standard door. In the case where there are multiple heat exchangers, the door can be configured into segments, one segment per heat exchanger, and each segment includes hinges so as to be opened independently from the other segments. In some embodiments, each segment swivels open like a standard door. In other embodiments, each segment is configured to swivel up or down about a horizontal axis. In still other embodiments, each segment is configured to be disconnected from the electronics enclosure and moved out of the way, in which case each heat exchanger is connected using either flexible tubing that can be bent out of the way or quick disconnects. In other embodiments, the entire rear door, or each segment of the rear door, can be configured to slide open and closed like a drawer.

A cooling door assembly includes a frame and a cooling door coupled to the frame. The cooling door includes multiple heat exchangers. The frame is configured to mount to the back of a server rack or other electronics enclosure in such a manner that the cooling door opens to allow access to the electronics servers within the server rack while maintaining a fluidic connection to an external cooling system. The frame is coupled to the external cooling system and the cooling door includes one or more swivel joints, each configured to provide one or more fluid paths between the cooling door and the frame. The cooling door assembly includes separate and independent fluid paths, where fluid is separately provided to each independent fluid path. Different groups of heat exchangers are coupled to each independent fluid path. In the event of failure of one of the independent fluid paths, the other independent fluid path(s) remain operational.

A tangential force sensor is used instead of a coaxial strain gauge to measure the torque required to produce the rotation of a part. The force sensor is coupled tangentially to the rotating part through a non-slip contact produced by a force applied radially on the part. A progressively increasing tangential force produced by translating the force sensor in a direction normal to the axis of rotation of the part is then applied to initiate and maintain its rotation. The radial force applied to the part is judiciously selected and measured such that the part is engaged with enough friction to ensure a non-slip condition. By measuring the tangential force applied to the part, the torque characteristics of the rotatable part are determined. By sensing and controlling the radial force applied to the part, damage to the part or the mechanism supporting it is avoided.

A universal tester includes modular sample stages, each dedicated to a test configuration. The modules are manually coupled to the base of the tester and automatically recognized for activation of the correct software relevant to its configuration and test scripts. As a result, no extraneous script can be activated erroneously by an operator. A single motor in the frame of the tester actuates the drive of each sample stage through a drivetrain that is automatically engaged by the manual installation of the stage. Means for controlling and/or measuring temperature, humidity, voltage, resistance, and acoustic emissions are provided through dedicated expansion slots and cards that activate respective software. An electronic identification in each card ensures that only relevant software is enabled.

A cooling system distributes fluid to a plurality of docking bays within a server rack. The server rack includes docking bays for housing electronics devices. A two-phase fluid-based heat exchanging system is coupled to each docking bay, which functions to remove heat from the electronics server. The docking bays are conceptually divided into one or more sections, and a dynamic fluid flow regulator is included within a section input line that supplies a liquid-phase fluid to each section. The section input line branches into a plurality of parallel fluid paths, one parallel fluid path coupled to each docking bay in the section. A fixed fluid flow regulator is included within each branching fluid pathway. The combination of the dynamic and fixed fluid flow regulators provides balanced fluid flow to each two-phase heat exchanging system.
