  • Publication number: 20220124942
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a liquid cooling interconnect module of a computing system, and a tool-less method of assembling the liquid cooling interconnect module having a housing, a biasing member, and an interconnect block. The housing has an interlocking member, a support assembly, and a bore extending between a first end and a second end of the housing. The biasing member is disposed within the bore such that it contacts the support assembly. The interconnect block having a pair of through openings, is configured to be slidably inserted within the bore such that it contacts the biasing member. Further, the interconnect block is configured to compress the biasing member against the support assembly to a compressed position when the interconnect block is inserted into the bore, and the interlocking member is configured to retain the interconnect block within the housing when the biasing member is in the compressed position.

  • Publication number: 20220091071
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a target, the target having a surface, includes pulsing a defined, energetic particle beam through the surface and into the target such that particle energy deposition from the particle beam is concentrated in a subsurface target volume within a target medium of the target. The deposited particle energy induces a thermoelastic expansion of the target medium in the target volume that generates a corresponding acoustic wave. The method further includes detecting the acoustic wave from the target medium.

  • Publication number: 20220045989
    Abstract: An apparatus receives an upper layer packet that includes data from a source device, a virtual private network (VPN) identification, a destination address, and a destination option type. The apparatus authenticates the upper layer packet by comparing the VPN identification of the received upper layer packet to a customer VPN identification. The apparatus determines whether the apparatus recognizes the destination option type of the upper layer packet. The apparatus discards the upper layer packet on a condition that the apparatus does not recognize the destination option type. The apparatus decapsulates the upper layer packet into a lower layer packet and transmits the decapsulated packet to a destination on a condition that the apparatus recognizes the destination option type.

  • Publication number: 20220000676
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for making elastomeric laminates that may be used as components of absorbent articles. In particular, discrete mechanical bonds are applied to a first substrate and a second substrate to secure elastic strands therebetween, wherein the discrete bonds are arranged intermittently along the machine direction. During the bonding process, heat and pressure are applied to the first substrate and the second substrate such that malleable materials of the first and second substrates deform to completely surround an outer perimeter of a discrete length of the stretched elastic strand. After removing the heat and pressure from the first and second substrates, the malleable materials harden to define a bond conforming with a cross sectional shape defined by the outer perimeter of the stretched elastic strand.

  • Publication number: 20210401634
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for making elastomeric laminates that may be used as components of absorbent articles. The elastomeric laminates may include a first substrate, a second substrate, and an elastic material located between the first and second substrates. During assembly of an elastomeric laminate, a beam is rotated to unwind the elastic strands from the beam, wherein the strands may include a spin finish. First bonds are applied to bond discrete lengths of the stretched elastic strands with and between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the discrete first bonds are arranged intermittently along the machine direction. In addition, second bonds are applied between consecutive first bonds to bond the first and second substrates directly to each other, wherein the second bonds extend in the machine direction and may be separated from each other in a cross direction by at least one elastic strand.

  • Publication number: 20210395538
    Abstract: A composition comprises a solar-reflective pigment that reflects sunlight (including but not limited to infrared light, visible light, and/or ultraviolet light), thereby retarding the heat accumulation from direct exposure to sunlight. The composition further comprises a thermochromic pigment that changes color at a predefined temperature, thereby providing a visible indication of changing temperature. When the predefined temperature is set to a threshold temperature that is dangerously hot to the touch, the visible indication serves as a warning, thereby reducing the possibility of burns or other injuries.
