    摘要: Systems and methods for cooling computer components in large computer systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a computer system configured in accordance with aspects of the invention can include a computer module positioned in a chassis, and an air mover configured to move air through the chassis and past the computer module. The computer system can further include a pressure sensor operably coupled to the air mover. If the pressure sensor determines that the difference between a first air pressure inside the chassis and a second air pressure outside the chassis is less than a preselected pressure, the air mover can increase the flow of air through the chassis and past the computer module.

    摘要: The field of the manufacture of electronic components, specifically to manufacturing flexible conductive strips having contact pads thereon, wherein a first set of alignment marks are provided on a substrate. Using the first set of alignment marks, several electronic components are formed in selected positions on the substrate. The electronic components may be formed in various groups, with a first group being formed using a first mask then, subsequent groups being formed using subsequent masks. Each of the respective masks are aligned with the first set of alignment marks in order to position the electronic components formed using the masks at the desired locations on the substrate. A second set of alignment marks are produced using the same mask as a set of electronic components that are located on the substrate. Subsequently, when a different set of features is produced, it is positioned using the second set of alignment marks located on the individual parts. Thus, tolerances can be achieved that would normally be possible only in the manufacture of individual parts, while still obtaining the advantages of the economies of scale possible by making many parts on a large sheet.

    摘要: The flexible connector for high density circuit applications comprises a multilayer flexible substrate upon which are formed a plurality of contact pads, in a density required by a particular application. This density may exceed two hundred contact pads per square inch. Contact pads of similar size and configuration are formed on the surface of another device, i.e., circuit board, and provision made to align the contact pads of the connector with those of the circuit board. Micro-pads are formed on the surface of the contact pads on the connector such, that when the connector is brought into contact with the circuit board, and sufficient pressure is applied, the micro-pads make actual electrical contact with the pads of the circuit board. Since the total surface area in contact, namely the sum of the surface areas of the micro-pads, is a small fraction of the total area of the connector, a large pressure is provided at the electrical contact interface even when low pressure is provided to the connector as a whole.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for coupling electrical connectors to a printed circuit board. The first and second clamp member are held in an open position with electrical connectors therebetween. While in the open position, the clamp is positioned over a printed circuit board, with the first and second clamp members aligned for connection to the circuit board. The clamp is then partially closed, to a preloaded position which aligns the electrodes in the clamping assembly with the electrodes on the circuit board. After the initial alignment has occurred, the clamp is firmly fastened to the printed circuit board, to electrically couple the electrodes of the connectors and the clamp to the electrodes on the printed circuit board.
