  • Patent number: 8541696
    Abstract: 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. Patterned sinusoidal “patterns” that are stamped, molded, cut, or extruded into one or more sides of a “box” provide sufficient EMI shielding, such that the need for gaskets is reduced or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 8116076
    Abstract: The present invention includes several hard disk drive (HDD) enclosures that use pre-stressed polymer compression members to provide integral vibration shock and acoustic noise dampening and isolation. The vibration dampening system has springs of polymeric material located between outer surfaces and existing HDD FRU mounting walls. The suspension system secures the hard drive in a slot in the structure within the polymer springs, isolating the hard drive from the side panels and dampening the vibration internal and external. The minimal structure allows for significant air flow to provide the cooling Beams are designed to consider temperature effects, creep and long term fatigue of the plastics. Multiple beams will be recruited to support the drives and each other to ensure that no individual beam sustains a substantial portion of the load.

  • Patent number: 8066559
    Abstract: The invention eliminates recirculation or back draft associated cooling air flows in systems that use two or more cooling fans/blowers (or other possible cooling devices). The inventive device with accomplish this by mean of an “Iris-like” in-plane device. The solution described herein is to be passive in nature (although it could be made to respond to electronic or other signals/commands/control mechanisms) and will be capable of responding to a filed fan/blower and engage at the time of fan/blower failure simply by detecting the change of pressure associated with the failed cooling device. The inventive device will reduce the space required and the cost associated with back draft damping or recirculation. In addition, the device can be retrofitted to existing systems and can be designed to be an integral part of a finger guard (a safety feature) of a cooling fan.

  • Patent number: 7995355
    Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration of an electronics enclosure, including a computer chassis in which three-dimensional shapes that may be in the form of a partial or quarter-sphere or cube or other periodic “patterns” may be stamped, molded, cut, or extruded into a lid and a five-sided “box” to provide improved EMI shielding, such that the need for gaskets is reduced or eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20080160896
    Abstract: The invention eliminates recirculation or back draft associated cooling air flows in systems that use two or more cooling fans/blowers and will accomplish this by “Ins-like” solution The solution is to be passive in nature and will be responding to a tiled fan/blower and engage at the time ol tan/blower failure simply by detecting ihe change ol pressure associated with the failed cooling device [“he device will reduce the spate required and the cost associated with back dralt damping or recirculation In addition, the device can be retrofit existing systems and can be designed to be an integral part of a linger guard ol a cooling fan The device will also provide acoustic advantages of more traditional back drat or recirculation as the Ins will retract completely out ol the airflow during normal operation and therefore not result in the acoustic vibrations associated with many of the existing solutions
