  • Decoupled latch
    Patent number: 11619081
    Abstract: A latch includes a retention portion. The retention portion is configured to prevent a first device, coupled to the latch, from being removed while the retention portion is in a first configuration. The retention portion is configured to allow the first device to be removed while the retention portion is in a second configuration. The latch also includes a spring portion configured to allow the retention portion to transition between the first configuration and the second configuration.

  • Hybrid power delivery assembly
    Patent number: 10424887
    Abstract: A busbar and connector assembly is provided. The busbar and connector assembly includes a printed circuit board having an attached connector arranged to couple to a first busbar and a second busbar coupled to the connector. The busbar and connector assembly includes the connector arranged to distribute a first portion of current from the first busbar to the printed circuit board and distribute a second portion of the current from the first busbar to the second busbar.

  • Electromagnetic interference absorber ring
    Patent number: 10424546
    Abstract: An electromagnetic interference absorber for an integrated circuit is provided. The absorber includes a geometric ring of electromagnetic energy absorbing material, dimensioned to fit over a ball grid array (BGA) integrated circuit package assembled to a substrate. The geometric ring has at least one projection arranged to fit into a gap between the substrate and a body of the BGA integrated circuit package so as to retain the geometric ring to the BGA integrated circuit package. Methods to contain electromagnetic interference and to manufacture an electromagnetic interference absorber are also provided.

  • Method and apparatus to mitigate assembly torsion
    Patent number: 10211555
    Abstract: A mechanism to mitigate assembly torsion on an electronics assembly is provided. The mechanism including an electronics assembly and a first connector, mounted to the electronics assembly with a lower portion of the first connector proximal to the electronics assembly and an upper portion of the first connector distal to the electronics assembly. The mechanism includes a spring, mounted so as to press the upper portion of the first connector and preload the first connector against assembly force imparted by assembly of the first connector to a second connector. A method to mitigate assembly torsion on an electronics assembly is also provided.
