  • Patent number: 9310145
    Abstract: A device comprises equipment (101) with a heat source, a cold part (102) relative to the equipment, and a thermal conductor element (103) capable of conducting the heat from the equipment to the cold part. The element (103) is such that, under certain thermal conditions above a given thermal condition, the equipment and the cold part are essentially thermally isolated.

  • Patent number: 8717776
    Abstract: An assembly for connection of an electronic equipment item to wiring of an aircraft, in which the item of electronic equipment is disposed in a support means and includes connection means configured to be connected to the wiring, a connection interface disposed between the wiring and the connection means to provide connection of the item of electronic equipment to the wiring, the connection assembly configured to change over from a connected state in which the connection means are connected to the connection interface to a disconnected state in which the connection means are free. The connection interface is fastened to the structure of the aircraft; whether the connection assembly is in the connected or disconnected state. The support means is movable and includes an at least partially open face turned toward the connection interface and onto which the connection means emerge.

  • Patent number: 8659902
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic module (2) comprising: an electronic card (4) on which electronic components (10) are disposed, two covers (6, 8), disposed on either side of the card (4). The cover (6) facing the components (10) has a central part (22) extending at a distance from the card (4) and a flanged edge (24) turned toward the card (4), prolonging one of the two opposite sides of the central part (22). This flanged edge (24) is prolonged by a flat support (26), extending in a plane parallel to the plane of the electronic card (4), the card (4) being added onto the said support (26). The covers (6, 8) bear indexing means (34), the electronic card (4) having indexing holes (36) cooperating with the indexing means (34) during positioning of the card (4) between the covers (6, 8).

  • Patent number: 8441802
    Abstract: A base for an electronic card includes at least one slot adapted for accommodating an electronic card with an extraction lever installed rotatably in relation thereto and adapted for pivoting between a first position and a second position. The lever has a support end adapted for coming to rest on a support element of the base in order to extract the electronic card from the base when the lever changes from the first to the second position. The support element has a first state in which the extraction lever does not bear on the support element when changing from the first position to the second position, and a second state, in which the lever bears on the support element when changing from the first to the second position. This creates a movement for extraction of the card through the support end along a support direction.
