Abstract: Described are systems for electronic heatsink safety including a system comprising a thermoelectric generator integrated into a heatsink, where the thermoelectric generator includes a first portion exposed to ambient temperature and a second portion contacting the heatsink, and where the thermoelectric generator is configured to produce a current based on a temperature difference between the first portion and the second portion. The system further comprises a first Light Emitting Diode (LED) electrically connected to the thermoelectric generator, where the current is configured to activate the first LED.

Abstract: A cold plate is provided and includes fins defining first channels, a plenum adjacent to an upstream end of each of the first channels, a lid, ribs and a blocking element. The lid defines an inlet fluidly communicative with the plenum. The ribs extend between the lid and the fins to define second channels oriented transversely relative to the first channels. The second channels include a proximal second channel fluidly communicative with the plenum. The blocking element is configured to normally encourage coolant flowing through the inlet to flow toward the plenum and the upstream end of each of the first channels and to normally discourage the coolant from flowing into the proximal second channel.

Abstract: A pump is provided which includes a rotating element, and a volute housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. In operational state, the rotating element rotates, drawing fluid through the fluid inlet of the volute housing and expelling the fluid at a higher pressure through the fluid outlet. Further, the pump includes a bypass mechanism integrated, at least in part, within the volute housing and exposing in nonoperational state of the pump, a bypass path through, at least in part, the volute housing that allows the fluid to pass from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet of the pump.
