  • Patent number: 7313706
    Abstract: An electronic processing system contains a power supply subsystem and a multi-processor module. Programmable control circuitry manages power consumption in the electronic system by allocating priority among a plurality of competing demands, such as total power consumption, power consumption at any one of the processors, and thermal measurements. Analog sense measurements of incoming power are transmitted to the control circuits, which are protected from noise through use of an isolation barrier established by a linear isolation amplifier.

  • Patent number: 6947286
    Abstract: A first printed circuit board is built including one or more openings configured to correspond to heat-generating devices attached to a second printed circuit board. The first and second printed circuit boards are aligned with each other and a heat sink, such that the heat sink is thermally coupled with heat-generating electronic devices on both the first and second printed circuit boards. Heat-generating devices are thermally coupled with a thermal pad on one or more of the printed circuit boards. The thermal pad is then thermally coupled with the heat sink. Optionally, the first and second printed circuit boards may be electrically coupled with each other through an electrical connector.

  • Publication number: 20040150954
    Abstract: A power module assembly for multi-chip printed circuit boards: A heat distribution plate has first and second fields of receptacles integrally formed therein. The receptacles are populated with first and second fields of thermally-conductive pins. A power module printed circuit board is mounted to the heat distribution plate and has first and second clearance holes formed therein. The first and second fields of pins protrude through the first and second clearance holes. A multi-chip printed circuit board may be mounted underneath the power module such that the thermally-conductive pins contact a surface of first and second supplied chips. The supplied chips are physically close to the power module, and thermal management for the supplied chips is provided by virtue of contact between the supplied chips and the thermally-conductive pins. Space on the multi-chip printed circuit board is conserved.

  • Patent number: 6263604
    Abstract: The present invention, a hermetically sealed picture frame, comprises a frame, a lens and a seal wherein the seal is an elastomeric seal, preferrably an elastomeric o-ring seal. The frame comprises a lens locking groove, a seal groove and mounting framework. The lens snaps into the lens locking groove, compressing the seal in the seal groove between the lens and the frame, providing a hermetic seal for a picture contained between the lens and the frame. The mounting framework is slideable over a mounting base that can be attached to a surface.

  • Patent number: 6067748
    Abstract: A memorial vase comprises a container, a liner insert, a drain plug, a base, and a bolt and nut for securing the container to the base so the container can swivel with respect to the base. An adhesive gasket can be used to secure the base to a surface. An alternate embodiment uses a base that can be attached to a wall surface wherein the base has a shelf with an aperture for holding an alternate container with a flanged rim that is an assist for removal of the alternate container from the shelf.
