  • Patent number: 6115251
    Abstract: An improved apparatus is disclosed for cooling the power dissipating components of a computer subsystem, including microprocessors and hard disk drive assemblies. The apparatus utilizes the computer subsystem's chassis or enclosure, by configuring it as a roll bond panel formed from two sheets bonded together to define a fluid channel therebetween. Various concentrated sources of power dissipation are mounted within the enclosure on special component panels that themselves define a fluid channel. A working fluid is disposed within the channels of the component panels and the enclosure panel. During operation, heat generated by the sources of power dissipation is transferred to the working liquid within the fluid channels of the component panels and, in turn, to the working fluid disposed within the fluid channel of the enclosure panel, for dissipation by convection.

  • Patent number: RE29982
    Abstract: A three-output level logic circuit in which in addition to zero and one binary logic levels a third off-logic level is provided in which the output impedance is relatively high to in effect isolate the switching circuit from a common line to which it is connected thereby allowing several switching circuits to be used in common without deleteriously affecting switching speed in an overall computer or calculator unit.
