Abstract: A system is provided and includes a system chassis through which an airflow is defined, including a set of receiving units, a set of 3.5? HDDs, each being disposed in a receiving unit of a portion of the set, and each having a profile that blocks a first quantity of the airflow, a set of 2.5? HDDs, each being disposed in a receiving unit of a remaining portion of the set, and each having a profile that blocks a second quantity of the airflow, and a set of airflow blockage devices, each being respectively disposed within each of the receiving units of the remaining portion of the set, to each have a cavity defined therein in which the corresponding 2.5? HDD is secured with a third quantity of the airflow traversing a surface thereof and a profile that blocks a fourth quantity of the airflow through the corresponding receiving unit.

Abstract: Systems and arrangements to provide electromagnetic compliance (EMC) for a drive carrier are disclosed. Embodiments may include an EMC spring. The EMC spring may include a shield portion to fasten to one side of a frame of the drive carrier and multiple fingers attached to the shield portion. At least one of the fingers may include an upper spring section to contact an adjoining drive carrier as the drive carrier is inserted into a computing device and a lower spring section. The lower spring section may be folded over against the upper spring section and attached to the shield portion of the spring. The lower spring section may deflect in response to the upper spring section contacting the adjoining drive carrier. In some embodiments, a lead in portion of the upper spring section may deflect to a position nearly parallel to the adjoining drive carrier.

Abstract: Methods for orienting fibers and an apparatus for orienting fibers are provided for the fabrication of improved thin abrasive wheels utilizing uniform non-woven fiber reinforcement discs. The wheels are more resistant to hub push-out failure during grinding than wheels reinforced with woven fiber cloth.

Abstract: In an electrical system having a connector board with at least one electrical connector thereon for receiving an electrical device therein, volumetric vital product parametric data is stored in memory associated with the connector board. The stored volumetric vital product parametric data can be accessed with the electrical system to check for available space for a proposed electrical device, for example. The stored data may include information about dimensional characteristics of the connector board and the at least one electrical connector. This data can be compared with corresponding data for the electrical device to determine compatibility, for example.

Abstract: A stacked electrical connector assembly and cover arrangement includes a stacked electrical connector assembly that includes a lower electrical connector, and an upper electrical connector disposed over the lower electrical connector in a stacked relationship. Each of the lower electrical connector and the upper electrical connector have at least one lead, with the lead of the upper electrical connector being longer than the lead of the lower electrical connector. A cover is disposed over the leads to protect at least the lead of the upper electrical connector from damage. The cover includes a back wall, and an edge wall that projects outward from the back wall. The back wall and the edge wall collectively define a recess that accommodates at least the lead of the upper electrical connector therein.

Abstract: An autodocking assembly for use with a circuit board includes a card holder adapted to accommodate and secure one of a plurality of electronic cards therein, and a pivot arm attached to the card holder which is adapted to pivot such that an edge connector of the one electronic card in the card holder docks with a corresponding slot connector on the circuit board.
