Abstract: An apparatus including a primary device and at least one secondary device coupled in a planar array to a substrate; a first passive heat exchanger disposed on the primary device and having an opening over an area corresponding to the at least one secondary device; a second passive heat exchanger disposed on the at least one secondary device; at least one first spring operable to apply a force to the first heat exchanger in a direction of the primary device; and at least one second spring operable to apply a force to the second heat exchanger in the direction of the secondary device. A method including placing a passive heat exchanger on a multi-chip package, and deflecting a spring to apply a force in a direction of an at least one secondary device on the package.

Abstract: A rework grid array interposer with direct power is described. The interposer has a foundation layer mountable between a motherboard and a package. A heater is embedded in the foundation layer to provide local heat to reflow solder to enable at least one of attachment or detachment of the package. A connector is mounted on the foundation layer and coupled to the heater and to the package to provide a connection path directly with the power supply and not via the motherboard. One type of interposer interfaces with a package having a solderable extension. Another interposer has a plurality of heater zones embedded in the foundation layer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe package alignment frames for a local reflow process to attach a semiconductor package to an interposer. The frame may comprise a two frame system. The interposer may be on a mounting table or on a circuit board. The frame may include a body with a rectangular opening dimensioned to receive a semiconductor package to be coupled to the interposer. The frame may be to align a ball grid array of the semiconductor package with pads of the interposer. A second frame may be to receive the first frame and may be to align a ball grid array of the interposer with pads of the circuit board. A single frame may be used to couple a semiconductor package to an interposer and to couple the interposer to a circuit board. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a heat removal assembly that is to thermally couple with two or more dice of an electronic device. The heat removal assembly may include a bellows to automatically adjust a position of at least one surface of the heat removal assembly relative to another surface of the heat removal assembly. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A self-retaining rack slide for rack-mounted computer systems. The rack slide includes a slide and a rack mounting member which are fastened together while permitting relative longitudinal movement between the two parts. A biasing mechanism such as a spring is fastened to the mounting member and the slide to urge the two lengthwise apart to increase the length of the slide rack. A complementary slide fastened to a rack component slidingly engages the rack slide to permit the component to be slid into and out of the rack.
