  • Patent number: 6564571
    Abstract: A rack system for mounting electronic devices such as computers or telecommunication devices is disclosed. The rack includes an integrated liquid heat exchange cooling system for dissipating the heat generated by the electronic devices. The rack also includes integrated alternating current and direct current power supplies for supplying power to the electronic devices. The entire system is of modular construction, providing both scalability and redundancy.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5467609
    Abstract: A modular floor sub-structure is provided wherein discrete floor modules having bottom surfaces and sides extending upwardly to support paired floor tile are interconnected to sit upon a floor surface and, in turn, support rack-mounted computer components. Select ones of the floor modules contain air cooling coils and blowers, while others are provided with uninterrupted power supplies and still others retain power distribution networks. The cooling system of a given module as well as the UPS components of another given module are provided having a capacity for supporting one computer component. Where more than one computer component is to be supported by the system, then additional modules are provided to develop an expanded elevated floor surface with power and heat removal servicing specific to each computer component.

  • Patent number: 4270362
    Abstract: Temperature and humidity electrical/electronic control circuits and apparatus to maintain a room at a constant temperature and humidity. The control system is adapted to an environmental condition controller for year-around cooling utilizing a liquid recirculating to an outside coil for free cooling or free reheat dehumidification. The controls provide a sequencing function to actuate one or more temperature and/or humidity conditioners in response to the degree and percentage of change. The circuit provides a ramp function signal for proportional control over an initial temperature range of free cooling and step controls over other predetermined temperature ranges. The circuit comprises a high fidelity ramp generator linearly responsive to the degree of temperature change up to a predetermined set point. A dehumidification signal is developed and fed to the same ramp generator to carry out air cooling to remove moisture.

  • Patent number: 3953100
    Abstract: A holder for infrared heat source lamps and particularly a holder comprising a block structure having entry sections on both sides separated by a wall. The separating walls provide an entry section oversized and otherwise notched to dissipate heat. A port in each entry section leads to a separate conductive bar positioned on a stair-step surface. The energization protruding wires of the infrared lamps are secured through the ports to the conductive bars. The energization wire power source for the infrared lamps is also connected to the conductive bars. Detailed refinements for positioning the holder in a reflector are disclosed.
