Abstract: An air duct formed from an electromagnetic wave absorber in the form of a sheet is disclosed. The sheet can be bent into a duct or scored, and folded at the score lines to bring the ends of the sheet into proximity. The ends can then be joined by adhesive, welding, or mechanical fasters. The air ducts disclosed herein provide dual functions of providing ventilation for electronic components in an electronic module, while at the same time, reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). One or more air ducts, of the same or different dimensions, shapes, volumes can be combined with electronic modules, such as a server, to provide both ventilation and EMI suppression to various components within the electronic module.

Abstract: A cable pliers structure includes a left plier body and a right plier body pivotally connected to each other. The right plier body has an adjusting region. The left plier body is connected with a drive seat movably disposed on one side of the adjusting region. A pressing block is disposed at the top of the drive seat. A clamping component is disposed in the adjusting region and has a clamp base that is movable relative to the pressing block. When the relative distance between the clamp base and the pressing block is changed, that is, the clamp base moves away from or approaches the pressing block, the distance is equivalent to the specification and dimension of a cable connector to be used. Therefore, the cable pliers structure is suitable for cable connectors of various specifications and dimensions through adjusting the distance, without replacing the pressing block.
