  • Publication number: 20110052356
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a handtruck is provided. The handtruck may have wheels. Legs, approximately parallel to the ground, are coupled to the wheels. The legs may also be moved within a plane that is approximately parallel to the ground. A back is coupled approximately perpendicular to the legs. A payload coupler is coupled to the back and allows the coupling of a payload to the handtruck.

  • Patent number: 5482109
    Abstract: A heat exchanger and method for mounting and cooling electronic components includes a chassis with plural removable mounting modules and a coolant distributor mounted on the modules. Each of the modules has a thermally conductive core for mounting electronic components and heat transfer ducts integral therewith that form uninterrupted thermal paths for conduction of heat from the electronic components to the coolant in the ducts. Each module has it own coolant ducts so that the weight of the heat exchanger may be reduced by the weight of the ducts when a module is removed, and so that cooling for each module may be separately tailored.

  • Patent number: 5382175
    Abstract: A clamp for seating a circuit card assembly (CCA) in a chassis, and for thereafter establishing thermal contact between the CCA and the chassis, includes a shaft and two wedges that extend substantially the length of the CCA. One wedge is affixed to the CCA and the other wedge moves laterally relative to the fixed wedge to expand the width of the two wedges and thereby urge thermal contact between the CCA and the chassis. The shaft is disposed in mating slots in the sliding faces of the two wedges and is joined to the fixed wedge to seat the CCA in the chassis by threading the shaft into the chassis, without effecting lateral expansion of the wedges. A flanged nut on the shaft may thereafter be used to effect longitudinal movement of the free-floating wedge to laterally expand the two wedges without affecting CCA seating.
