  • Patent number: 10842050
    Abstract: A system. The system includes rack containers and a cooling fluid. The rack containers include rack units stacked in a first direction that is parallel to a floor. Each rack unit has wheels positioned on a supporting structure on the floor which enables adjacent rack containers to move closer to or further from each other. The supporting structure is on the floor and is oriented in the second direction. The second direction is parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first direction. The cooling fluid is flowed through a flexible tube into each rack container via a cooling conduit secured at a first port on a top surface of each rack container. The cooling conduit encapsulates the flexible tube. The top surface is further from the floor than is any other surface of each rack container.

  • Patent number: 10172260
    Abstract: A method. A cooling fluid flows through a flexible tube into each rack container including a plurality of rack units via a cooling conduit that encapsulates the flexible tube and is secured at a first port on a top surface of each rack container. The rack units are stacked in a direction parallel to a floor. The cooling conduit includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment is linked to, perpendicular to, and in direct physical contact with, the second segment through a first articulation. The second segment is linked to, parallel to, and in direct physical contact with, the third segment through a second articulation. The first and second articulations are configured to rotate horizontally in a plane parallel to the floor to enable the flexible tube to maintain smooth contact with the top surface of each rack container.

  • Patent number: 7898117
    Abstract: A structural configuration which includes a computer support structure having at least one module supporting a computer server disposed therein, and methods for connecting servers and using a computer support structure. Each module includes at least one support member separating the module from each adjacent module. The support member is configured to simultaneously conduct both power and data to a computer server located in the module. The method for connecting servers includes placing a first server inside a first module which includes a first structural member configured to conduct electrical power and data to the first server. A second server is placed inside a second module which includes a second structural member. The second module is placed on top of the first module. The first member supports the second module and separates the second module from the first module, resulting in the first member connecting to the second member.

  • Publication number: 20100058685
    Abstract: A floor tile has a top surface, a lower surface substantially parallel to the top surface, and at least one base mount extending along the lower surface of the floor tile at at least one respective mounting angle. A panel can be selectively mounted in a base mount of the floor tile and configured such that a mounted panel projects from the lower surface at a projection angle. An air handling system employing a plurality of the tiles enables formation of baffles in a plenum below mounted tiles by arranging the mounted panel edges.
