  • Publication number: 20210315132
    Abstract: A system includes a pair of chassis, a housing, and a cooling module. Each chassis including multiple rails with adjacent rails defining card slots. The housing connected to the chassis in first card slots on the pair of chassis and formed to contain electronic components including a heat generating component. The cooling module connected to the chassis in second card slots on the pair of chassis and formed to contact the heat generating component through an aperture in the housing.

  • Patent number: 5545821
    Abstract: Improved rape plants, seeds capable of forming the same, and a novel improved edible endogenous vegetable oil derived from the rapeseeds are provided. Such plants have the ability to yield an endogenous vegetable oil having an unusually low saturated fatty acid content. More specifically, the rape plants upon self-pollination are capable of forming rapeseeds which yield an improved vegetable oil following crushing and extraction having a saturated fatty acid content of no more than 4 percent by weight (preferably no more than 3.5 percent by weight and most preferably less than 3 percent by weight) in the form of stearic and palmitic acids based upon the total fatty acid content. A relatively low concentration of erucic acid (as described) also is exhibited in the endogenous oil. It has been found that the novel rape plants of the present invention can be formed by mutagenesis followed by selection as described.

  • Patent number: 5049503
    Abstract: Plant embryogenesis from cultured, immature gametic cells can be exploited to overcome the problem of phenotypic sterility in the products of many techniques for plant modification, including interspecific and intergeneric sexual crossing or somatic fusion somaclonal selection, genetic transformation and mutagenesis.
