Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to footwear, such as a boots and shoes, and in particular to footwear having a removable element, such as a liner, that includes temperature control elements for controllably regulating and/or altering the temperature of the footwear and thus the wearer's foot. Various embodiments also include an electrical contact in the foot bed adapted to couple to the temperature control element in the liner, and a power source, controller, and actuator coupled to the footwear upper.

Abstract: A hinged disk drive bay for a server. The bay is hinged such that it moves between a stowed position in which the bay is vertical, and a tilted position in which the bay is open. When open, the connections are exposed to the user.

Abstract: An input/output (I/O) panel with one chassis that supports multiple baseboards. In an aspect, the I/O panel has an extension to mate with a server chassis U-seam. In an aspect, the I/O panel includes a fastener for fastening to a server chassis, and unfastened from a server chassis, without the use of a tool. In an aspect, the fastener is a tab that fastens to a server chassis spring latch. In an aspect, an I/O panel is provided that maximizes EMI containment. In an aspect, an I/O panel is provided that maximizes thermal evacuation.

Abstract: An assembly for a computer system is described. That assembly comprises a frame that has a base, a first side and a second side. The assembly also includes a backplane, which is coupled to the frame, and a connector. The connector has a first end that is coupled to the backplane and a second end for receiving a disk drive connector. The assembly enables a disk drive carrier to be secured between the first and second sides such that it is oriented sideways with respect to a front surface of a computer system chassis. Also described are a disk drive storage unit and a computer system that include that assembly.

Abstract: A computer having a motherboard moused in a chassis having a bottom panel and a rear panel perpendicular to the bottom panel. The rear panel has a cutout therein. The motherboard is secured to the chassis in parallel with the bottom panel. The motherboard has a socket, such as a single in-line memory module (SIMM) socket. The I/O riser card is mounted in the socket perpendicular to the motherboard. An I/O riser card has connectors such as Standard 9 pin D-Sub, 25 pin D-Sub, Keyboard/Mouse Mini DIN, SCSI 2, wide SCSI and Pin Connectors mounted on the I/O riser. The connectors are mounted perpendicular to the I/O riser card such that the connectors are aligned with the cutout in the rear panel. The connectors are grounded to the chassis with an electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket contoured to the cutout.
