Patent number: 10674647Abstract: The description relates to devices, such as computing devices that can include structural assemblies. One example can include a structural component defining a periphery of the structural assembly and an internal region of the structural assembly. The example can also include a sacrificial component positioned in the internal region and secured to the structural component by a breakaway connector that defines a first void and an opposing second void that is at least partially offset from the first void.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Zhicong Yao, Guang Lei Wang, Tianyu Zhao

Patent number: 9913413Abstract: This disclosure relates to a multi-piece shield comprising a fence, a lid, and an insert. The lid attaches to the fence, which is attached to the circuit board. The lid is a relatively thick, flexible material for supporting the insert. The lid has a recess so that the insert can be recessed into the lid to position the insert closer to the circuit for enhanced heat absorption. The insert is made of a thicker heat absorbing material than the lid, again to facilitate heat absorption. The insert can be press-fit into the recess of the lid. The lid can have a dovetail configuration to retain the insert in the lid.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: A.K. Stamping Company, Inc.Inventors: Arthur Kurz, Mark Andrews, Michael Schneider

Patent number: 9820416Abstract: A shielding cage with an improved construction is disclosed that permits such cages to be more closely spaced together when a plurality of them are arranged in side-by-side arrays of cages. The cage is formed from a sheet metal blank that is stamped and formed to define sidewalls, top wall, bottom wall and a rear wall. In one embodiment, the ends of the blank are formed with interengaging elements in the form of tabs and slots that interfit within the plane of one of the cage walls, thereby eliminating the need for projections disposed on the sidewalls of the cage.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Molex, LLCInventors: Richard Miklinski, Kenneth Janota, Michael Alan Johnston

Patent number: 9787073Abstract: An improved electrical box for use with ICF foam block walls, or the like, and having two main components, namely, a female component which is open at a front end thereof and closed at a rear end thereof and is sized and shaped to receive a male component which is opened at both a trailing front end and a leading rear end thereof. The female and male components having knockouts to accommodate conduit. The male and female components having flanges and mating locking mechanisms to retain the improved electrical box in position on the ICF foam block wall until removal with the use of a removal tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Inventor: Richard Townsend

Patent number: 9345183Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration of a computer-chassis containment or other electromagnetic device method for manufacture in which a “one-hit” solution may be implemented to provide adequate electromagnetic interference shielding (EMC shielding) and is configured such that shielding gaskets, “spoons” or other excessive structures may be reduced or eliminated completely. Two sheets of conductive material are formed into two and three-dimensional “patterns” and channels with contact points that are stamped, molded, cut, or extruded into one or more sides of a “box” providing sufficient EMI shielding.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2009Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Stealthdrive Canada Corp.Inventor: Paul Douglas Cochrane

Patent number: 8993898Abstract: A radio frequency shield which reversibly transects an electromagnetic frequency enclosure is provided. The shield includes first a number of panels attached to a first surface of the enclosure. The panels are adapted to move through a first arc relative to the first surface. Shield also includes a first panel from the number of panels having a first leading edge capable of transecting the first arc. The shield further includes a second number of panels attached to a second surface of the enclosure. The second set of panels is adapted to move through an arc relative to the second surface of the enclosure. Also a second panel from said second set of panels has a second leading edge capable of transecting the second arc so as to oppose the first leading edge. Finally, the shield includes a means for reversibly attaching the first leading edge to the second leading edge while simultaneously establishing electrical communication between the first and second plurality of panels.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: ETS-Lindgren Inc.Inventors: Joseph C Weibler, Thomas W Orzechowski, Steven T Kilgore, Michael G Hamouz
