Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include an inductor including at least one inductor coil, the at least one inductor coil including a plurality of outer longitudinal portions aligned around an outer periphery of the inductor, and a plurality of inner longitudinal portions aligned around an interior of the inductor. The plurality of outer longitudinal portions and the plurality of inner longitudinal portions collectively form two width-wise sides of the inductor and two length-wise sides of the inductor. The two width-wise sides and the two lengthwise sides define a substantially rectangular prism shape. The two width-wise sides and the two lengthwise sides define a hollow inductor core.

Abstract: At least one thermal module in fluidic communication with the one or more electronic components. The thermal module including a hydraulic motor operable to rotate a motor output shaft. The module further including a fan coupled to the motor output shaft, at least one heat exchanger in fluidic communication with the fan to provide passage therethrough of an air stream in response to rotational movement of the fan, and a conduit carrying a pressurized liquid stream through the hydraulic motor and each of the at least one heat exchanger. The pressurized liquid stream causing the motor output shaft to rotate and wherein heat in one of the air stream or the pressurized liquid stream is passed through each of the at least one heat exchanger and rejected into the other of the air stream or the pressurized liquid stream. A thermal management system including the at least one thermal module is disclosed.

Abstract: A heat sink for cooling an electronic component includes a substrate comprising an electrically non-conductive material and an inlet port and an outlet port extending outward from the substrate. The inlet and outlet ports are fluidically coupled to a fluid flow surface of the heat sink by passages that extend through a portion of the substrate. The heat sink also includes a shield comprising an electrically conductive material. The shield is disposed atop or within the substrate and is configured to suppress electromagnetic interference generated by an electronic component coupled to the heat sink.

Abstract: A device for cooling an electronic component includes a substrate having a component mounting surface and a fluid flow surface recessed relative to the component mounting surface. The device also includes an inlet orifice positioned proximate a first end of the fluid flow surface and an outlet orifice positioned proximate a second end of the fluid flow surface. A pattern of surface features is arranged on the fluid flow surface. The pattern of surface features is configured to entrain a coolant flowing across the fluid flow surface and redirect the coolant upward and away from the fluid flow surface.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides an oven appliance with a fluid analysis assembly fluidly mounted to a duct. The fluid analysis assembly includes a casing and a sensor array. A fluid inlet of the casing extends between the duct and a dilution chamber of the casing. An ambient inlet of the casing is contiguous with ambient air about the casing and the dilution chamber. The sensor array includes a plurality of fluid sensors positioned at the dilution chamber of the casing.

Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, a tool for evaluating the thermal layout of a scan room is discussed. In practice, the tool may be used to quickly generate and test different room and imaging system layouts to identify a suitable layout. A scan room and imaging system may then be placed and oriented in accordance with the layout that has been tested and found acceptable using the tool.

Abstract: Apparatuses useable in an offshore drilling installation close to the seabed for controlling well influx within a wellbore are provided. An apparatus includes a centralizer and flow constrictor assembly, a sensor and a controller. The centralizer and flow constrictor assembly are configured to centralize a drill string within a drill riser and regulate a return mud flow. The sensor is located close to the centralizer and flow constrictor assembly and configured to acquire values of at least one parameter related to the return mud flow. The controller is coupled to the centralizer and flow constrictor assembly and the sensor. The controller is configured to control the centralizer and flow constrictor assembly to achieve a value of a control parameter close to a predetermined value, based on the values acquired by the sensor.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a gasification system component, such as a quench unit or scrubber may retain of pool of a cooling fluid for cooling another fluid. The gasification system component includes a flow damping mechanism designed to dampen flow of the cooling fluid, the other fluid, or both, within the gasification system component. The flow damping mechanism may be disposed in an inner chamber formed between a dip tube and a draft tube or disposed in an outer chamber formed between the walls of the gasification system component and the draft tube. The flow damping mechanism also may be disposed between the inner chamber and the outer chamber.
