Patents by Inventor Gilbert Flores

Gilbert Flores has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9472487
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a semiconductor cooling apparatus includes a heat exchanger configured to thermally couple to a semiconductor element to transfer heat to coolant flowing through the heat exchanger. The apparatus also includes a flexible coolant supply manifold and a flexible coolant return manifold. The flexible coolant supply manifold and flexible coolant return manifold flex to conform to a height of the semiconductor element to apply a force to maintain the thermal coupling between the heat exchanger and the semiconductor element. The apparatus also includes a cold plate located under the semiconductor element, the cold plate configured to couple to the flexible coolant supply manifold via a first riser to provide coolant to the flexible coolant supply manifold and configured to couple to the flexible coolant return manifold via a second riser to exhaust returned coolant to the cold plate.

  • Patent number: 7600928
    Abstract: A method for providing a protected splice in a hybrid cable that has a fiber optic line and an electrical line includes the steps of providing an optic splice in the fiber optic line; providing a electrical splice in the electrical line proximate to the optic splice; connecting a tube over the optic splice; installing a boot over the electrical splice; disposing the tube and the boot in a slotted sleeve; positioning the slotted sleeve within a housing; and anchoring the housing to the hybrid cable on opposing sides of the splices.
