  • Patent number: 10782751
    Abstract: Computer processing systems are cooled and the otherwise wasted heat is extracted for space heating by providing a cooling dielectric liquid in a tank which passes from a manifold at the bottom of the tank through an array of tubular housings each having open top and bottom ends and containing row of the circuit boards. The housings sit on a divider sheet which has arrays of openings aligned with the housings allowing the liquid to pass from the manifold under little or no pressure so that the liquid flows through the housings by convection and stratifies to generate a layer of heated liquid above the open tops of the housings which can be tapped off to a heat exchanger. The liquid around the housings is not fed from the manifold and the power supplies for the circuit boards sit in this body of liquid and are cooled thereby.

  • Patent number: 10707043
    Abstract: A fuse device and a fuse element having excellent rapid blowout properties and excellent insulation properties after blowout even in a size-reduced fuse device are provided. A fuse element constitutes a current path of a fuse device and blows out due to self-generated heat when a rating-exceeding current flows, a length W in a width direction perpendicular to a conduction direction being greater than a total length L in the conduction direction in the fuse element. In particular, the fuse element includes a low melting point metal layer and a high melting point metal layer, the low melting point metal layer eroding the high melting point metal layer when current flows to cause blowout.
