Patent number: 8256627Abstract: A snap-mount blanking panel for an equipment rack or cabinet enclosure has ergonomic grips spaced laterally inwardly and offset forwardly to permit comfortable and reliable mounting and removal of the blanking panel regardless of lateral clearance. A special stacking structure engages the grips in a manner to position a blanking panel, when stacked upon a lower blanking panel, in a fixed and stabilized relation to the lower blanking panel. The stacking features enable stable stacking of multiple units, one on top of another, without requiring external confinement of the stack.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2011Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Upsite Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Arthur T. Sempliner, Berkeley T. Merchant

Patent number: 8049109Abstract: A cable grommet system for installation in data centers, offices and the like, for sealing cable openings in raised flooring, wall or ceiling panels, server cabinets, etc. to facilitate the installation and revision of wiring and cabling to server installations while minimizing losses of any provided conditioned air. A wide variety of grommet configurations is possible with a limited number of component parts. An advantageous acute angle mounting of sealing brushes enhances the sealing effectiveness thereof, particularly for smaller sizes of cable openings. In some embodiments, a novel arrangement of electrical conductors is incorporated into the grommet structures for dissipation of electrostatic charges, enabling the basic frame components to be formed of a flame retardant material.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Upsite Technologies, IncInventors: Arthur T. Sempliner, Berkeley T. Merchant

Patent number: 7959015Abstract: A snap-mount blanking panel for an equipment rack or cabinet enclosure has ergonomic grips spaced laterally inward to permit comfortable and reliable mounting and removal of the blanking panel regardless of lateral clearance. Resiliently flexible sealing skirt members create a positive seal with adjacent electronic devices or blanking panels. Stacking structure enables stable stacking of multiple units outside a container. An off-set platform allows for mounting ambient atmospheric indicators or signage, or may be used as a writing surface. A cable pass-through is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2008Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Upsite Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Arthur T. Sempliner, Berkeley T. Merchant
