  • Publication number: 20240074100
    Abstract: A cold plate assembly for use in a liquid cooling system for cooling of a computing device having a plurality of active regions from which heat is dispersed with varying intensity ranging from one or more high-intensity zones to one or more low-intensity zones. The cold plate assembly has a cold plate for exchanging heat between said computing device and cooling liquid and a distribution layer configured to be mounted onto the cold plate. The cold plate comprises guiding means for guiding cooling liquid from an inlet channel to an outlet channel along an inner surface of the cold plate in a predefined pattern focusing the liquid flow across one or more predefined high-priority zones. The inlet channel is arranged such that it is at least partially coinciding with a high-intensity zone of the computing device when the cold plate assembly is arranged to cool the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11897444
    Abstract: A brake cylinder configured to provide braking signaling to an automotive simulator, the brake cylinder includes a damper housing, a resilient damper arranged within the damper housing and a piston configured to move a block in the axial direction at least partially into the damper housing towards said resilient damper. The block comprises a mechanical stop configured to limit the axial movement of the piston in the axial direction. The brake cylinder further has a sensor configured to measure a response to movement of said piston and send a signal to a processor indicative of that movement. The brake cylinder is configured to be connected to a brake pedal. The mechanical stop divides the braking process into two phases a first phase where the pedal can be depressed and a second phase where the pedal cannot be pressed further due to the mechanical stop. In one variant the brake cylinder is a purely mechanical system with only the damper housing or in combination with a single cylinder chamber.

  • Publication number: 20230324943
    Abstract: A brake system for a driving simulator, the brake system comprising a master cylinder chamber and a slave cylinder chamber which are arranged in fluid communication via a hydraulic system. The master cylinder chamber comprising a master cylinder piston which is mechanically connected to a brake pedal such that movement of the brake pedal results in translation of the master cylinder piston along the axis of said master cylinder chamber. The hydraulic system comprising a pressure module which is arranged such that it divides the hydraulic system into a master side in fluid communication with the master cylinder chamber and a slave side in fluid communication with the slave cylinder chamber. The pressure system is adapted to intermittently increase and decrease the pressure in the hydraulic system such that tactile feedback is provided to the brake pedal.
