Publication number: 20230422445Abstract: Various aspects include devices, systems, and methods for cooling a heatsink of electronic equipment immersed in an immersion coolant tank with a coolant shroud. The coolant shroud includes side walls and a covering wall. The side walls mounted on a mounting surface within the immersion coolant tank and on which the heatsink is secured and at least one of the side walls includes a fluid port and a fluid aperture. The covering wall extends from and between the side walls, wherein the side walls and the covering wall together form a cooling chamber that receives the heatsink. Dielectric fluid inside the cooling chamber is in fluid communication with dielectric fluid outside the cooling chamber via the fluid aperture. The fluid port is in fluid communication with a dielectric fluid pump disposed outside the cooling chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Derek GORDON, Jr., John BEAN, Jr., Jerry MAYFIELD, Clay BAKER

Patent number: 9723709Abstract: The present invention is a mobile device capable of transmitting or receiving wireless signals and incorporating an FPC shielded RF signal conductor for connecting transmitter and/or receiver circuitry to an associated RF antenna or antennas. In some embodiments FCP may incorporate the antenna in an unshielded section of the FPC. In some embodiments a single FPC may provide for multiple RF carrier conductors each with their own associated shielding.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2008Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Inventors: Todd Steigerwald, Tom Bentley, Jerry Mayfield, Brad Vier

Patent number: 8374660Abstract: An apparatus for reducing the electromagnetic interference between two or more co-located antennas is described herein. In one embodiment, the apparatus is positioned proximate to a second antenna for intercepting electromagnetic energy radiated from a first antenna during transmission of a signal. To reduce interference at the second antenna, the apparatus includes a plurality of resonant circuit elements, each being configured to resonate at or near a carrier frequency of the transmitted signal for redirecting at least a portion of the electromagnetic energy away from the second antenna. A method for reducing the electromagnetic interference between two or more antennas coupled to a wireless communication device is also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2007Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Motion Computing, Inc.Inventors: Todd W. Steigerwald, Jerry Mayfield

Patent number: 8347486Abstract: Various methods are disclosed herein for forming an apparatus, which is configured to reduce the electromagnetic interference between a pair of antennas coupled to a wireless communication device. In some embodiments, the method includes extracting a shape of the apparatus from a thin sheet of conductive material, and folding the shape into a plurality of resonant circuit elements. In other embodiments, the apparatus is formed within various cavities of a mold; a liquefied substance may be inserted into the mold for filling the various cavities and forming a plurality of resonant circuit elements. In all embodiments, the plurality of resonant circuit elements are each configured to resonate at (or near) a carrier frequency of a signal transmitted by one of the pair of antennas.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Motion Computing, Inc.Inventors: Todd W. Steigerwald, Jerry Mayfield

Patent number: 7725132Abstract: A system for reducing electromagnetic interference between two or more co-located antennas is described herein. In one embodiment, the system includes a first antenna for transmitting a first signal within a first frequency band, and a second antenna for operating within a second frequency band during transmission of the first signal. The first and second frequency bands may be substantially identical, or may occupy overlapping or nearby channels within the radio frequency spectrum. The system also includes an apparatus. In one embodiment, the apparatus is positioned proximate to the second antenna for intercepting the electromagnetic energy radiated from the first antenna during transmission of the first signal. In other embodiments, the apparatus may be positioned proximate to the first antenna for intercepting the electromagnetic energy radiated from the second antenna during transmission of a second signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2007Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Motion Computing, Inc.Inventors: Todd W.
