  • Heat flow measurement tool for a rack mounted assembly of electronic equipment
    Patent number: 8197124
    Abstract: A rack mount assembly measurement tool, for determining physical values including air flow and heat loads, includes a front assembly and a rear duct assembly that are non-intrusively and releasably mounted on the front and rear of such rack mount enclosure. Physical values are sensed at multiple vertical locations to enable a determination of overall and localized heat loads within the enclosure. Front sensor values are collected and wirelessly transmitted from the front assembly to a receiver/processor supported on the rear duct, which generates computed values that are displayed in addition to the sensed values.
    Type: Grant

  • Charged mass thin film condenser accelerometer
    Patent number: 5710376
    Abstract: An accelerometer having a pair of spaced apart planar electrodes in a housing wherein one of the planar electrodes is made of a thin film and has a mass attached to one side such that acceleration causes the thin film to flex. A solid state amplifier is located in the housing attached to one of the planar electrodes to measure the change in capacitance caused by the flexing of the thin film. The solid state amplifier may be an NPN transistor. The mass may be a 4.5 mm steel airgun shot, and the thin film may be 1 mil polyester aluminized metallic film. The output of the accelerometer is connected to one input of a operational amplifier, and the other input of the operational amplifier is connected to a transducer measuring ambient noise such that the ambient noise is removed from the signal from the accelerometer.
