    Abstract: A first electronic device may comprise a chassis and first fins. The chassis may be configured to removably couple with a second electronic device. The first fins are configured to interleave with second fins of the second electronic device in a coupled state of the first and second electronic devices. A corrugated thermal interface device comprises folded fins. The folded fins are coupled to the first fins and are also removably couplable to the second fins in the coupled state of the first and second electronic devices. Each folded fin comprises one or more lateral walls, and the corrugated thermal interface device further comprises a plurality of spring fingers coupled to and extending at least partially in a lateral direction from the lateral walls. The spring finger contacts may be contacted and displaced by the second fins in the coupled state of the first and second electronic devices.

    Abstract: A pair of fluid couplings for liquid cooling electronic devices comprises a first fluid coupling and second fluid coupling. The first fluid coupling comprises a female coupling interface and the second fluid coupling comprises a male coupling interface to couple with the female coupling interface. Each of the fluid couplings comprises a magnetic latch assembly coupled to the coupling interface thereof. Each magnetic latch assembly comprises a shell, magnets housed within the shell, and a group of ramp-and-hook latches coupled to the shell. The magnets cause the magnetic latch assemblies to magnetically attract one another during coupling, reducing the force a user may need to apply to complete the coupling. The ramp-and-hook latches of one magnetic latch assembly are complementary to the ramp-and-hook latches of the other magnetic latch assembly, and they are arranged to engage with one another and interlock when the first and second fluid couplings are coupled.

    Abstract: A flow-through folding membrane accumulator comprises a hollow cylindrical housing and a folding flexible membrane disposed in an interior volume of the housing. The membrane defines an interior liquid channel extending through the membrane along a longitudinal axis, and liquid coolant flows from an inlet of the accumulator through the interior liquid channel to an outlet of the accumulator. The membrane is sealed to the housing such that an air-tight cavity filled with a gas is formed between the housing and the membrane. The cavity radially surrounds the internal liquid channel, with the membrane separating the cavity and the internal liquid channel. Volumes of the cavity and channel change in response to deformation of the membrane and based on pressures of the liquid coolant. The membrane may comprise multiple folds extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and distributed circumferentially around the axis.

    Abstract: A lift device including a body, a drive unit, an actuator, one or more output gears, and one or more bearing structures. The lift device has an attached state and a detached state. In the attached state, the lift device is removably attached to and may translate vertically along one or more vertical columns having a first side including a linear gear and a second side opposite the first side. The one or more vertical columns support the lift device via the one or more output gears engaging the linear gear, to drive vertical translation, and the one or more bearing structures movably bearing against the second side. The one or more vertical columns are integral with, or removably attached to, a chassis. In the detached state, the lift device is detached from the one or more vertical columns and freely maneuverable.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for cooling electronic components. An apparatus of the presently claimed invention includes a connector and an electronic component that plugs into the connector. The electronic component contacts a heat sink, where the heat sink moves in an upward direction as the electronic component is plugged into the connector. Soft thermal pads located between the heat sink and liquid cooling tubes/pipes compress as the heat sink moves upward. When compressed, the thermal pads contact the heat sink and the liquid cooling tubes/pipes. Heat is then transferred from the electronic component through the heat sink, through the thermal pads, through the coolant tubes, and into liquid contained within the liquid coolant tubes.

    Abstract: A system chassis may comprise a frame having a width, depth, and height and a plurality of divider walls coupled to the frame and forming a plurality of receptacles each configured to receive an electronics tray containing an electronic assembly. Each of the plurality of divider walls comprises a metal sheet having a front edge, a back edge, and two lateral edges, the two lateral edges attached to two lateral walls of the frame. The front edge of the metal sheet has a concave shape such that a distance between the front edge and the back edge of the metal sheet continuously decreases while moving laterally from one lateral edge to a center of the front edge and continuously increases while moving laterally from the center to the opposite lateral edge.
