Abstract: An electronic system includes a chassis defining a substantially plane-shaped cavity. The chassis is arranged to contain an air stream (e.g., provided by a cooling subsystem) which flows from an air intake side of the chassis to an air exhaust side of the chassis through the substantially plane-shaped cavity. The air intake side of the chassis is opposite the air exhaust side of the chassis. The electronic system further includes a jacket circuit board disposed within the plane-shaped cavity, and a set of pluggable electronic modules. The jacket circuit board is oriented within the plane-shaped cavity to receive cooling from the air stream. Each pluggable electronic module is arranged to (i) electronically connect to the jacket circuit board through a front of the chassis and (ii) define a supplemental ventilation port through which air passes to augment the air stream.

Abstract: An automatic thermal debonding system removes slider rows from a stainless steel processing fixture. The system uses a bimodal pitch adjustment and a mechanical row detainment mechanism to remove the rows from the fixture. The system allows full control of all critical process parameters such as accurate and repeatable row placement; controlled temperature and heat flow; controlled mechanical removal pressure; temporal control and variability; clean and contaminant-free working area; and full electrostatic discharge grounding and compatible materials. The bimodal pitch adjustment feature allows for continual, high-speed removal of the ceramic rows from the fixture after an automated heating cycle is complete. As the rows are removed, they are accurately placed into the detainment mechanism for the next process step.
