Publication number: 20240090169Abstract: An immersion cooling system is configured for uniform fluid distribution across computing devices and includes a tank defining an open interior volume, a distribution pipe having a plurality of ports, a distribution plate having a pattern of holes is positioned over the distribution pipe. A siphon wall divides the open interior volume into a first chamber and a second chamber, and the distribution plate and the distribution pipe are in the first chamber. The dielectric cooling fluid enters the first chamber of the tank through the plurality of ports in the distribution pipe, and flows through the pattern of holes in the distribution plate to contact the at least one computing device. The heat dissipates from the at least one computing device into the dielectric cooling fluid, which flows through the siphon wall into the second chamber via a transfer port that is located below a dielectric cooling fluid surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: John BEAN, JR., Paul DIERKES, Shiraz GULRAIZ

Patent number: 8859992Abstract: In a charged particle beam device, such as an electron microscope, a beam generating apparatus generates a focussed charged particle beam e? that is incident on a specimen in a specimen chamber which holds the specimen in a gaseous environment. A pressure limiting aperture provides partial gaseous isolation of the specimen chamber from the beam generating means, and is located in a lens of the latter. The device includes a conduit, such as an intermediate chamber in the lens, through which, in use, gas is supplied to set up a flow of gas from the region of the lens towards the specimen, thereby to prevent material released from the specimen from impinging on the pressure limiting aperture, to prevent contamination of the latter. The device can be used in a method of scanning a specimen with a charged particle beam, for example in a method of electron microscopy.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Carl Zeiss NTS LimitedInventor: Stewart John Bean
