Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are presented for managing an apparatus for thermal energy management including a first container. The first container includes a first cavity, and is configured to hold a first liquid coolant within the first cavity to at least partially surround a second container. The second container includes a second cavity configured to hold one or more heat sources, and a second liquid coolant to at least partially surround the one or more heat sources. The second container is sealed to separate the first liquid coolant from the second liquid coolant. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a cold plate. In some examples, the cold plate includes a surface with fins and at least two channels, wherein a first channel is shaped with a first opening extending towards the surface, a second opening proximate and across a first fin attached to the surface, and a third opening from the surface and extending away from the surface. In some examples, when a fluid is provided to the first opening, the first opening directs the fluid towards the surface, the second opening directs the fluid across the first fin, and the third opening directs the fluid away from the surface. In some examples, the second opening comprises split openings around opposite sides of the first fin.

Abstract: An expander module for connection to a hot-swap backplane is disclosed.

Abstract: A device is disclosed herein for engaging and disengaging electrical connector halves, particularly electrical connector halves mounted on printed assembly boards that are to be electrically connected to a back plane. The device provides a drive train mechanism comprised of a plurality of gears and racks that, when attached, act to reduce the insertion force required to make the electrical connector halves disposed on the printed board assemblies and the back plane. A further aspect of the present invention involves the method of attaching a back plane to at least one stationary printed board assembly by actuation of a drive train.
