Abstract: A fan module having a frame is provided. A fan is disposed within and attached to the frame so as to align with an aperture passing through the frame. A baffle having first and second inclined surfaces in opposition is disposed within the frame. The first surface is for changing the direction of a first fluid flow from the fan, and the second surface is for changing the direction of a second fluid flow so as to direct the second fluid flow through an exit of the fan module.

Abstract: An electronic circuit card includes a circuit board and a faceplate attached to the circuit board. A connector is mounted on the faceplate such that the electronic circuit card occupies substantially one slot of a housing when the electronic circuit card is contained in the housing. The connector is also mounted on the faceplate to enable contact between the faceplate and a faceplate of an adjacent electronic circuit card for shielding against electromagnetic interference leakage when the electronic circuit card is contained in the housing. A ribbon cable electrically interconnects the connector and the circuit board. A strap is attached to the faceplate. The strap is adapted to secure a mating connector to the connector.

Abstract: A support for aligning the head and torso. The support includes at least one first bladder containing a fluid. The first bladder is communicatively coupled to at least one second-bladder containing a fluid. When the user is in the side position atop the second bladder, at least a portion of the fluid in the second bladder is displaced into the first bladder by the user's torso. The fluid displaced into the first bladder causes the first bladder to raise the user's head when in the side position atop the first bladder.

Abstract: A microchip having a passivation layer on an electrically active surface; a multitude of electrically conducting protuberances for electrically coupling the active surface to a substrate; a layer on the passivation layer for protecting against electromagnetic radiation; and a layer on an electrically inactive surface of the microchip for protecting against electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: A game for a multitude of players based on driving rules applied according to a player's social status. The game has a playing field and a segmented path, disposed on the playing field, the path including a set of indicia-bearing segments. The game has a multitude of tokens, each of the tokens for marking one player's path segment. The game has a first provision for issuing player-directives in response to the path indicia and a second provision for issuing player-directives in response to the directives issued by the first provision. The game has a provision for assigning each player indicia-bearing segments for starting and ending the game and a provision for assigning each player at least one game role. The game has a third provision for issuing player-directives for altering directives issued by the first and second provisions, a provision for temporarily positioning the tokens according to player directives issued by the second provision, and a provision for recording player-directives.
