Abstract: A heat sink apparatus for electronic components provides a heat sink and a deformable, convex foil construction affixed to the heat sink around a periphery of the foil construction and adapted to extend away from the heat sink to enable deformation of the convex foil construction as a result of contact with a top surface of an electronic component mounted opposite the foil construction.

Abstract: A cooling assembly is located in a chassis with a conduction-cooled circuit module and permits the conduction-cooled circuit module to be utilized in an air-flow-through or liquid-flow-through circuit module chassis assembly. The cooling assembly may be a removable cooling adapter or may be integral with the chassis. The cooling assembly includes a housing having a first end and a second end and defining one or more fluid passages. The housing further includes a thermal contact surface to contact the conduction-cooled circuit module. The cooling assembly may be configured for air-flow-through or liquid-flow-through cooling of the conduction-cooled circuit module.

Abstract: A pneumatic sonobuoy launcher adapted for simultaneously storing, and sequentially and independently launching, at least two sonobuoys includes a barrel with a closed back end, an expulsion end opposite the back end and an interior sonobuoy-guiding channel extending between the opposed ends. The channel is adapted for storing a series of sonobuoys including rearwardmost and forwardmost sonobuoys stored, respectively, closest to the back end of the barrel and closest to the expulsion end of the barrel. Each stored sonobuoy occupies a distinct region of the channel separated by an interval from at least one other region.
