Patent number: 12322916Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus for connecting an electronic component to a conductor. A housing includes at least one slot and defines at least one component chamber for carrying the electronic component. A liquid coolant can pass through the housing. A pair of conductive members extends from the housing through the at least one slot and can be releasably inserted into a channel defined in a support assembly. The support assembly facilitates an electrical connection between the conductive members and corresponding conductive contact members connected to a respective power supply or electrical load. The support assembly can provide an inward sealing force to a seal on the housing circumscribing the pair of conductive members.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2022Date of Patent: June 3, 2025Assignee: GE AVIATION SYSTEMS LLCInventors: Christopher James Kapusta, David Richard Esler, Arun Virupaksha Gowda, Brian Magann Rush, Liang Yin, Richard Anthony Eddins, Liqiang Yang, Judd Everett Swanson

Patent number: 10794637Abstract: A circular heatsink can include a thermally conductive cylinder with an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface. An emissive and convective and convective surface area can extend radially from the outer circumferential surface. At least one thermally conductive ledge can extend from the inner circumferential surface and be configured to support a planar substrate having heat-generating electrical components. Air flow over the emissive and convective surface area can cause thermal conduction away from the heat-generating electrical components and through the at least one thermally conductive ledge, the thermally conductive cylinder, and the emissive and convective surface area.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: GE Aviation Systems LLCInventors: Judd Everett Swanson, Richard Eddins, Michel Engelhardt, Christopher Mouris Astefanous
