Patent number: 6862180Abstract: A housing for circuit cards is provided. The housing has a shell. A thermally conductive liner integral with the shell lines an interior of the shell. A protrusion of the liner extends through the shell and contacts the shell to form a pressure seal between the liner and the shell. A heat sink is disposed on an exterior surface of the shell and is thermally coupled to the protrusion of the liner. A case is disposed within the liner and is thermally coupled to the liner. The case is adapted to receive a plurality of circuit cards so that the plurality of circuit cards is thermally coupled to the case.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: ADC DSL Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Sawyer, Matthew J.

Patent number: 6245994Abstract: An apparatus, such as a fuse box structure, containing circuitry capable of receiving and processing a current having a power of at least 0.1 megawatts, and associated method of fabrication, for use with a vehicle such as a railed vehicle, or with a static structure such as a building. The fuse box enclosure is made of a material having high impact resistance such that the fuse box enclosure is able to reliably remain intact when the fuse blows. The fuse box material is a plastic that has a hardness of at least D-50, or at least A-95, on the Shore scale. A preferred fuse box material is an ether-type urethane with a hardness of about D-75 on the Shore scale.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1999Date of Patent: June 12, 2001Inventor: Fredrick Daniel McKenzie
