Abstract: Systems for controlling louver positions are described herein. Such systems may include: a louver frame; a louver coupled to the louver frame via a rotation member and adapted to rotate at a louver side around an axis of rotation at the rotation member. In one embodiment, the louver includes a spring member engagement feature. The system also includes a spring member coupled to the louver frame and adapted to engage with the spring member engagement feature of the louver and apply a force to the louver when a forward airflow is applied to the louver in a forward airflow direction.

Abstract: In general, embodiments relate to systems for latching electrical modules to one another. Specifically, embodiments provide for a latching assembly to mechanically aid an operative connection between electrical modules. Further, embodiments enable a user to physically latch electrical modules to one another and to retain the latching of the electrical modules.

Abstract: To increase air flow, an air intake/outtake (i.e., intake, outtake, or both) is positioned on a front surface of a housing, such as a rack-mounted computer network switch housing. The front surface includes jacks, controls, plugs, receptacles or other input/output for connection with the processor in the housing. The air intake/outtake is one or more openings on the front surface with the input/output components. In one embodiment, to avoid interference with the input/output components and increasing the height of the housing, the air intake/outtake is a slot extending most of or all of the distance between the sides of the housing and being above or below the input/output. An intermediate plate may be used to form and support the air intake/outtake.
