Abstract:
An assembly includes a first component having a surface and a deformable stake extending from the surface and defining a gap between the surface and the deformable stake, and a second component defining a slot configured to receive the deformable stake for coupling the first component and the second component. In some example embodiments, the gap is surrounded by the surface and the deformable stake. In other example embodiments, a width between legs of the deformable stake is greater than a width of the slot of the second component. In yet other example embodiments, the surface from which the deformable stake extends may be an edge surface.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes linking a plurality of load distribution points in a power distribution unit to a plurality of electrical loads in response to user input, receiving data indicative of one or more electrical parameters associated with the plurality of load distribution points, selecting a visual indicator from a group of indicators based on the one or more electrical parameters associated with the load distribution point for each of the plurality of load distribution points, and displaying the selected visual indicators for the plurality of load distribution points on a visual display for viewing by a user. Each of the electrical loads are electrically coupled to one or more of the plurality of load distribution points. Example computer systems and non-transitory computer readable medium including computer executable instructions for performing one or more computer-implemented methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An electronic equipment enclosure for outdoor deployment includes a housing defining an interior and having an intake port, an exhaust port, an airflow path extending from the intake port to the exhaust port, and an equipment bay for receiving the electronic equipment. The equipment bay is positioned in the airflow path. The equipment enclosure further includes an intake fan for creating positive pressure within the interior of the housing and a pressure-activated damper having an open position for allowing air to exit the enclosure through the exhaust port in response to positive pressure within the interior of the housing and a closed position for preventing external air and/or water from entering the enclosure through the exhaust port when the intake fan is not operating. Other example equipment enclosures and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract:
An electric power distribution panel includes a plurality of slots for supplying power to circuit breakers, a first input bus for coupling to a first power source, a second input bus for coupling to a second power source, and a plurality of circuit breaker carriers. Each carrier is positioned in one of the slots and selectably movable in its slot between a first position for coupling a circuit breaker to the first input bus, and a second position for coupling a circuit breaker to the second input bus.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides a base 14 for a data distribution terminal pedestal 10 that includes a first wall structure 30 interlockingly connectable with a second wall structure 34 such that the base can be assembled absent assembly hardware.
Abstract:
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a condenser shroud assembly for a direct current (DC) powered variable capacity air conditioning system (VCACS), the shroud assembly includes a condenser shroud configured to support a condenser air mover of the VCACS, and a condenser shroud cover. The condenser shroud cover is mountable to the condenser shroud. Further, the condenser shroud cover defines an opening having a center axis that approximately coaxially aligns with a center axis of the condenser air mover when the condenser air mover is mounted to the condenser shroud and the condenser shroud cover is mounted to the condenser shroud.
Abstract:
A quarter turn slide lock assembly having a base (30), a cover (32), a slider (34), a rotator (36), springs (40, 42) and washers (44, 46). The base includes a channel (48) for the slider to move between extended and retracted positions. The slider includes internal (152) and exterior (146) cam follower surfaces. The rotator has a hex head (172) for 90° rotation by a special tool and a cam arm for engaging the internal cam follower surface (152) of the slider. The external cam follower surface (146) is biased by an abutting surface on an object to be locked and the springs bias the slider in an opposite direction to an interference fit with the object. The base includes a smooth, slanted outer surface to avoid snags and the washers reinforce the slide lock so that rivets used to attach the slide lock to an object to be locked are strongly secured. The cover snap fits to the base for a simple and reliable slide lock assembly.
