Abstract:
A method of forming a dual chamber seamless tube (64) includes providing a slug of steel (56) and cold working a first end (70) of the slug (56) to form a first chamber (114) and cold working a second end (72) of the slug (56) to form a second chamber (116). The first and second chambers (114 and 116) are axially aligned and separated by a wall portion (126) of the tube (64).
Abstract:
A multi-entry socket power delivery structure is attachable to a printed circuit board to provide improved delivery of one or more power supply signals to a socket. The power delivery structure provides an additional path for power supply signals to be delivered to a socket (in addition to the “power corridor” of the printed circuit board). The power delivery structure comprises one or more portions, with individual portions comprising a printed circuit board connection portion that attaches to the printed circuit board to receive a power supply signal generated by a voltage regulator, and a socket connection portion that attaches to the printed circuit board to deliver the power supply signal to the socket via the printed circuit board. The power delivery structure can be located in the recess of a reinforced backplate that provides structural integrity to a processor stack and associated thermal management solution loading mechanism.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a low-carbon steel member. The low-carbon steel member yields plastically more than about 5% before fracturing at temperatures down to about −40° C. when stress is applied to the low-carbon steel member sufficient to cause the low-carbon steel member to so yield.
