Abstract: A functional heat exchanger structure provides a hermetic seal for the power electronics. The heat exchanger includes one or more features built into the design. The features include a closed loop liquid circuit, air, or extended surfaces built-in to the design to transfer heat from the heat generating devices, spring clips snapped in built-in slots to mount heat-generating devices, preformed threaded rails to mount the printed circuit board (PCB), electrical isolation between the heat sink/cold plate and the electrical components, a sealed enclosure to provide environmental protection for the electronic components, a mounting feature to mount the sealed enclosure onto an external surface, an opening to accept a snap-in style cover, a stackable design, and an easily manifoldable configuration.

Abstract: A blind-mate power charging station includes a receptacle, a base, and electrical circuitry. The receptacle includes a receptacle housing, an inner housing, and electrical contacts. The receptacle housing includes a pair of outer extensions, each outer extension tapering toward an outer extension tip. The inner housing is held within the receptacle housing and includes inner extensions forming parallel slots between pairs of inner extensions. Each electrical contact is held in one of the parallel slots by a pair of the inner extensions. The base receives the receptacle and mounts the receptacle to a stationary surface. The electrical circuitry couples the electrical contacts to an electricity source. The receptacle is shaped to receive a plug including a plug head and at least two prongs. Each prong engages one of the electrical contacts such that the receptacle provides electricity to the plug.
