Patent number: 10455741Abstract: The present examples include a rack enclosure with perforations formed within vertical rack columns. Front vertical rack columns may include front perforations formed therein. The front perforations may draw air into the rack enclosure and further into a chassis. Side plenums along the side surface of the chassis may consume less space with the use of the front perforations. The space not consumed by the side plenums may be available to accommodate a chassis of a substantial volume. The chassis may expand a substantial width of the rack enclosure to house an enlarged or a maximum number of computing components within the rack enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT LPInventors: Dave Mayer, Arlen L. Roesner

Patent number: 10356964Abstract: Examples described herein include an electromagnetic interference shield. In some examples, the electromagnetic interference shield includes a wall comprised of a conductive material. The wall may have a first surface, a second surface, and a thickness between the first surface and the second surface. The shield may include a rounded opening in the wall that creates an air passageway through the thickness of the wall. The shield may also include a first obstruction in the opening and a second obstruction in the opening. The first obstruction may span across the opening. The second obstruction may span across the opening and intersect the first obstruction. The first obstruction and the second obstruction may be waveguide structures.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Elene Chobanyan, Karl J.

Patent number: 9499306Abstract: A gift bag is provided having a generally traditional gift bag configuration with four side panels, a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end for inserting therein and removing therefrom a gift or other such item. At least one of the side panels of the gift bag is double-walled, thereby forming a cavity within the gift bag. A plurality of candy pieces is contained within the cavity. A candy dispenser is integral with the gift bag having a container into which one or more of the plurality of candy pieces may enter after exiting the cavity through a small opening therein. Once the candy dispenser is moved to an open position, a user can remove the candy therefrom and then move the candy dispenser back to a closed position in order to contain the remainder of the plurality of candy pieces within the gift bag.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: American Greetings CorporationInventors: Carol Miller, Dave Mayer
