  • System for reducing the emission of high frequency electromagnetic waves from computer systems
    Patent number: 5285007
    Abstract: A containment system for significantly reducing the emission of high frequency electromagnetic waves from a computer system into the external environment. The containment system includes the combination of two enclosures and a shielding assembly. One of the enclosures is associated with the high frequency components and the other with the low frequency components of the computer system. The shielding assembly is positioned between the two enclosures to prevent high frequency electromagnetic waves from passing from one chamber to the other over the connection between the two chambers.

  • Apparatus for transferring control of a plurality of electrical devices upon interconnection
    Patent number: 5191227
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a plurality of electrical devices, each of the electrical devices including circuitry for switching the electrical device to a standby mode or an operational mode. A main control unit and a secondary control unit is provided in each of the electrical devices. When a main control unit of one electrical device is connected to a secondary control unit of a second electrical device, control of the operational state of the second electrical device is transferred to the remotely located first electrical device. When the two electrical devices are disconnected, local control of the second electrical device is maintained.

  • Integrated installation assembly with self aligning connector
    Patent number: 5128830
    Abstract: An integrated installation assembly for removably supporting a hardware module within a computer cabinet. The integrated installation assembly comprises a substantially ridgid frame work having interconnected top frame member and bottom frame member which has a back portion. Also included is a cover spaced from the back portion of the bottom frame member. The frame members and the front cover define an interior support space in which a hardware module can be mounted. Shock absorbing means are connected to the framework of the assembly for minimizing the vibration of the hardware module. Ventilation is provided through the front cover and the top and bottom frame member for cooling the hardware module. The front cover also includes control elements for operating the hardware module and status information elements which give operating status information about the hardware module.
