Abstract: A latch assembly includes a lever arm affixed to a latch pivot point of rotation with a cam having a connecting slot. A load mechanism is configured to apply a force on the latch pivot point to retain the lever arm in a first position. The load mechanism is tuned to apply the force along a tolerance range of operation of the latch assembly.

Abstract: Systems for optimizing mounting points for coaxial RF connectors, including a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a coaxial radio frequency (RF) connector; a faceplate comprising an opening adapted to receive the coaxial RF connector; and a bushing positioned within the opening, wherein the coaxial RF connector is positioned within the bushing.

Abstract: A system, an article of manufacture, and a method are disclosed. The system includes a set of components in an enclosure. The set of components includes electronic devices and airflow moving components configured to maintain airflow across the electronic devices from a front plenum of the enclosure to a rear plenum of the enclosure and direct air from the rear plenum through the first heat exchanger. The set of components also includes a first heat exchanger configured to circulate a cooling liquid and a second heat exchanger configured to maintain a constant temperature of the cooling liquid, wherein the constant temperature is a temperature of the cooling liquid within a threshold distance from a selected temperature.

Abstract: An electronic component system includes a chassis that includes a body, an electrically isolated portion, and an insulator disposed between the electrically isolated portion and the body, wherein the insulator is comprised of a first electrically insulating material. The electronic component system further includes a first electronic component mounted to the electrically isolated portion, and a second electronic component mounted to the body and electrically connected to the first electronic component.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for implementing enhanced component reliability for leading edge components in a server computer system based upon system humidity conditions. A humidity value is identified and compared with a threshold value at an air flow input in contact with the leading edge components. One or more air flow control elements are used to direct air flow based upon the compared humidity values of the server system.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems directed to a circuit board assembly configured for parallel plugged card removal are disclosed. A circuit board assembly includes a main circuit board configured to dock an expansion card in a parallel arrangement, at least two circuit board connectors disposed on a surface of the main circuit board and operable to receive respective plug connectors of the expansion card, and a pivoting assembly comprising a plurality of lever arms, the pivoting assembly being coupled to main circuit board such that a first circuit board connector is disposed between a first pair of lever arms and a second circuit board connector is disposed between a second pair of lever arms, wherein a force applied to the pivoting assembly in direction approaching the main circuit board is translated to a force applied by each lever arm in direction away from the main circuit board.

Abstract: A slam latch includes a retaining screw that is held in position by a distal upper support that constrains a distal portion of the retaining screw from moving upward, a middle lower support that constrains a middle portion of the retaining screw from moving downward, and a proximal upper support that constrains a proximal portion of the retaining screw from moving upward. The slam latch further comprises one or more L-shaped retaining members on the side that allow sliding the one or more L-shaped retaining members into a corresponding slot(s) of a device being secured, thereby preventing the slam latch from torqueing and bending with respect to the device.

Abstract: A slam latch includes a retaining screw that is held in position by a distal upper support that constrains a distal portion of the retaining screw from moving upward, a middle lower support that constrains a middle portion of the retaining screw from moving downward, and a proximal upper support that constrains a proximal portion of the retaining screw from moving upward. The slam latch further comprises one or more L-shaped retaining members on the side that allow sliding the one or more L-shaped retaining members into a corresponding slot(s) of a device being secured, thereby preventing the slam latch from torquing and bending with respect to the device.
