摘要： The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a system for providing fuel to a backup electrical fuel cell. In this particular embodiment, the system includes a sealed fuel container having a pierceable membrane with a container seal associated therewith, an acerate tube proximate the pierceable membrane, and an actuator. The actuator is coupled to the acerate tube and automatically drives the acerate tube through the pierceable membrane to provide fluid communication from the fuel container to the fuel cell in response to a failure of a primary electrical power system. The container seal is configured to form a seal about the acerate tube when the acerate tube pierces the pierceable membrane to prevent unnecessary loss of fuel, such as methanol, from the container. In alternative embodiments, the system may also include the primary power system and a backup electrical fuel cell that is electrically coupled to the primary power system.

摘要： The present invention provides an electromagnetic interference (EMI) module cover for use in an electronics module that is configured to house electrical components that are capable of generating electromagnetic emissions that cause EMI. In one embodiment a conductive sidepanel has a resilient cantilever member formed therefrom with a fixed end that is integrally formed with the sidepanel and a movable end that is free of a module coupler, thereby allowing the resilient cantilever member to flex as the module is installed in a chassis. The resilient cantilever member has a boss that is formed proximate to the movable free end. The boss extends outward from the sidepanel a distance sufficient to provide a conductive path between the conductive sidepanel and an adjacent conductive surface when the module is installed in the chassis.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a mounting clip for electronic components and, more specifically, to a component retention spring clip for securing electronic components to an electronic device support such as the leg of a heat sink. In one embodiment the component retention clip is comprised of a resilient strip that has an arcuate portion and first and second ends. The resilient strip is configured to encompass an electronic component and an electronic device support adjacent to the electronic component. The arcuate portion of the component retention clip contacts a portion of the electronic component, thereby partially supporting the electronic component against the electronic device support. Located at the first end of the resilient strip is a first latch configured to cooperatively engage a corresponding second latch located at the second end and retain the electronic component on the electronic device support.
