A mixer can be disposed between the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel such that the mixer is configured to induce streamwise vorticity in at least the first fluid exiting first fluid channel to cause mixing of the first fluid and the second fluid to reduce a flow speed of a mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid.

Abstract: A field-replaceable unit is reversibly secured in place using two captive fasteners. Each fastener includes a telescoping knob that rotates 180 degrees in a first direction to engage a latch mechanism and rotates 180 degrees in the opposite direction to disengage the latch mechanism. The knob automatically extends when the latch mechanism is disengaged. The knob alternately extends and retracts in response to being successively pressed when the latch mechanism is engaged. The knob has two cutaways formed along outside edges to facilitate a two-finger grip for knob rotation and pulling the unit out of another module. A circular groove centered on an axis of rotation of the knob has a contrasting coloration and provides a visual and tactile indication of know location. A nub indicates rotational position of the knob.

Abstract: A spring-pulley system is configured for use within an IT component and includes a cable assembly configured to electrically couple a fixed portion of an IT component to a slidable portion of the IT component. A pulley assembly is configured to engage the cable assembly. A spring assembly is configured to bias the pulley assembly toward a first position to absorb any slack in the cable assembly.

Abstract: A cabling module is configured for use within an IT component, the cabling module including an enclosure assembly configured to be received within the IT component. An input connector is configured to receive electrical power from within the IT component. A plurality of output connectors are configured to provide electrical power to a plurality of subcomponents of the IT component.

Abstract: An openable IT component is configured to be mounted within an IT rack and includes a shell assembly. A drawer assembly is configured to receive a plurality of IT sub-components. A slide assembly is configured to slidably position the drawer assembly within the shell assembly between a fully closed position and a fully opened position. An interlock assembly is configured to prevent the opening of other IT components within the IT rack while the openable IT component is not in the fully closed position.

Abstract: A cabling module is cable management system is configured for use within an IT component and includes an internal cable bundle configured for use within the IT component. An external cable termination module is configured to terminate a first end of the internal cable bundle. A cabling module is configured to terminate a second end of the internal cable bundle. A cable management arm is positioned between the external cable termination module and the cabling module and is configured to absorb any slack in the internal cable bundle.

Abstract: A 1U rack-mountable computing device includes a storage component configured to include one or more storage devices. A second component is configured to be releasably coupleable to the storage component. A coupling system is configured to releasably couple the storage component to the second component.

Abstract: A rack unit for providing a server to be mounted within a storage rack is provided. The rack unit includes a set of low-profile drawer slides configured for mounting the rack unit within the storage rack, the set of low-profile drawer slides configured for mounting upon rails; wherein, the chassis includes at least one wide section for housing computer components.

Abstract: A printed circuit board module for a rack mounted chassis. The module includes a latching assembly having: a handle and a catch. When the module is inserted a predetermined distance into a chassis, the catch becomes inserted into an aperture formed on the chassis and when, at such predetermined distance, the handle is slid inwardly into the chassis, the catch engages the handle to retain the handle within the module. On the other hand if, when the module is inserted into the chassis at a distance less than the predetermined distance, the catch is unable to be inserted into an aperture and when the handle is slid inwardly from the chassis, the catch prevents the handle from being retained and such handle, when released, is urged outwardly of the module thereby indicating that the module is improperly inserted within the chassis.
