  • Publication number: 20160029519
    Abstract: A circuit layout includes two or more high performance processing nodes that are cooled by a cooling fan. The cooling fan resides in a cooling fan assembly that relies on principles of aerodynamics to maximize airflow. The cooling fan assembly is coupled to the opposite side of a backplane to which the circuit layout is mounted. The backplane includes large ventilation holes to permit the cooling fan to induce significantly more airflow across the circuit layout than possible with conventional designs. At least one advantage of the approaches discussed herein is circuit layouts can be constructed to meet the competing objectives of high node performance and high node density. Accordingly, data centers can be built that offer high performance computing without requiring a significant increase in physical real estate.

    Abstract: A digital pressure gauge is configured for coupling with an external fluid pipe, and includes a housing, a pressure sensing unit, a battery seat and a cover. The housing includes an inlet for coupling with the external fluid pipe to permit flow of fluid from the external fluid pipe into the housing. The pressure sensing unit is operable to sense fluid pressure of the fluid flowing through the inlet. The battery seat is disposed in the housing for receiving a battery. The housing is formed with an opening registered with the battery seat to permit placement of the battery in and removal of the battery from the battery seat through the opening. The cover is removably attached to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20120168535
    Abstract: A telescopic water spray tool includes a telescopic tube and a water delivering tube located in the telescopic tube. The telescopic tube includes an outer tube and an inner tube held in the outer tube and movable relative to the outer tube for a displacement to extend outside or retract inside the outer tube. The telescopic tube has a water inlet and a water outlet. The water delivering tube is located in the inner tube and has a first connecting section connected to the water inlet, a second connecting section connected to the water outlet, and a telescopic section bridging the first and second connecting sections. The telescopic section is extended and retracted with the inner tube in the displacement. Hence length of the telescopic tube is adjustable according to cleaning locations, and water in the telescopic tube is not spilled out through gaps between the inner and outer tubes.

  • Publication number: 20120021622
    Abstract: A stacked multilayer connector includes two seat bodies oppositely disposed on a circuit board and two connection seats. Multiple electronic card units can be previously held between the connection seats as stacked layers and then the connection seats with the electronic card units can be plugged into the seat bodies into electrical contact with the circuit board. Each seat body has multiple terminal passageways in which multiple first terminals are inlaid. Each connection seat has multiple terminal passages in which multiple second terminals are inlaid. Each second terminal has multiple electronic card contact sections for clamping the electronic card units and a contact arm for contacting with the first terminal. The contact arm of the second terminal is a projection below the electronic card contact sections, whereby the width of the insulation main body of the connection seat is reduced to minify the required installation space and lower manufacturing cost.
