Abstract: An interface includes an enclosure having a plurality of walls interconnected to form a parallelepiped having a space therein. The enclosure is positionable to occupy a plurality of slots located in a computer housing of a first type computer. The enclosure has a width corresponding essentially to a total width of the plurality of slots. The interface further includes a computer subsystem of a second type computer disposed within the space of the enclosure. The computer subsystem includes a circuit card, and a distribution card attached to, and electrically coupled with, the circuit card. The distribution card is connectable to a backplane of the first type computer located external to the enclosure and within the computer housing.

Abstract: An electrical interface arrangement includes a first buss bar, and a feed through connector fixed to the first buss bar. A second buss bar extends through the feed through connector, and is slidable relative thereto. The feed through connector electrically couples the first buss bar to the second buss bar as the second buss bar is slid through the feed through connector.

Abstract: An enhanced electrical arrangement for a computer includes a first circuit board, and a second circuit board arranged essentially parallel to the first circuit board. A removable array connector is positionable between the first circuit board and the second circuit board. The array connector causes the first circuit board to be in electrical communication with the second circuit board. A clamping arrangement is provided for urging the first circuit board and the second circuit board toward each other, so as to exert a force against the array connector and cause an electrical connection between the first circuit board and the second circuit board. The clamping arrangement includes a back-up plate positionable adjacent to a major surface of the second circuit board, and an arm pivotally connected to the back-up plate.

Abstract: A matrix tray feeder includes a matrix tray platform, which includes a pan for receiving a component, and an adjustment mechanism connected to the pan. The adjustment mechanism is activatable to move the pan from a first position to a second position while maintaining a surface of the pan in one of an infinite number of substantially parallel planes. A position indicator is positionable adjacent to the surface of the pan, and includes an arrangement for indicating when the component is in a desired position during the activation of the adjustment mechanism.

Abstract: A cover includes a side panel having an opening therethrough. A sliding member is connected to the side panel, and is slidable to an opened position in which the opening is at least partially uncovered, and is slidable to a closed position in which the opening is closed. A mounting is tab connected to the side panel and is arranged to be accessible through the opening only when the sliding member is in the opened position. A front panel is also provided, which can be fastened and locked to the side panel using no visible fasteners.

Abstract: An electrical cabinet includes at least one modular enclosure connectable to at least one of a further, substantially identical modular enclosure, and a pedestal enclosure. The modular enclosure has a generally parallelepiped shape, with at least one space therein for the placement of components. A cover is positionable over the exterior sides of the enclosure, and includes a modular rear cover section positionable over the rear side of the modular enclosure to essentially hide the rear side of the modular enclosure from view.

Abstract: A processor book includes a processor card having front and rear surfaces, and at least one high heat component attached to the front surface. Two separate flows of cooling gas are conveyed to the processor card from two separate directions. A cooling duct is provided adjacent to the front surface of the processor card, and conveys one of the flows of cooling gas. The cooling duct has an outlet in a region of the high heat component.

Abstract: A computer arrangement includes an electronics enclosure located within a computer housing, which is divided into a plurality of physically separated cooling zones. The enclosure has a plurality of inlet and outlet openings. Each cooling zone is in registration with respective inlet and outlet openings. A backplane is disposed within the electronics enclosure, and has front and rear surfaces. A first electrical component is attached to one of the surfaces and is arranged in one of the cooling zones. At least one circuit board is disposed within the electronics enclosure and is attached to the front surface of the backplane. The circuit board has a second electrical component attached to a surface thereof, which is arranged in another one of the cooling zones. A system operation card is disposed within the electronics enclosure, and is attached to the rear surface of the backplane.
