  • Patent number: 11586795
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a turnkey modular printed circuit board enclosure that is generated using a template generator. The template generator accepts a user input comprising an enclosure parameter, based on which a manufacturing file may be generated. The manufacturing file may be provided to a fabricator for fabricating the enclosure or the manufacturing file may be modified in a printed circuit board design environment to incorporate a printed circuit board into the enclosure. The printed circuit board may be a separate printed circuit board that is inserted into the enclosure or it may be embedded in a face of the enclosure.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180220546
    Abstract: A modular equipment chassis for an electronic equipment rack is disclosed. The modular equipment chassis can include a first top support, a first bottom support, a first side member, a second side member, and a first guide rail. The first side member can be coupled to a first end of each of the first top support and the first bottom support. The second side member can be coupled to an opposite second end of each of the first top support and the first bottom support. The first guide rail can be coupled with at least one of the first top support and the first bottom support at one or more of the mount locations, and the first guide rail can be configured to receive and retain at least a portion of a first electronic appliance mount.

  • Patent number: 5377460
    Abstract: Building structures are disclosed which employ isosceles triangles, isosceles trapezoids and rectangles as the panel shape of which the structure is made. The structure is arranged in horizontal levels with at least one upper level having a common panel type with the remaining levels having alternating patterns of rectangles and trapezoids or rectangles and triangles. The structures employ a substantial number of rectangular panels which contributes to less waste of construction material, while at the same time facilitating easier assembly.
