Abstract: A computer system includes an enclosure, a backplane within the enclosure, a replaceable unit releasably connected to the backplane, an air cooling system configured to create an air flow along the replaceable unit and an air flow blocking system. The air flow blocking system includes a first member coupled to the enclosure and a second member coupled to the replaceable unit. The first member and the second member interact to at least partially block air flow along the replaceable unit based upon at least one characteristic of the replaceable unit.

Abstract: A computer system includes an enclosure, a forced air cooling system configured to create air flow within the enclosure, a printed circuit board and an air flow blockage member. The printed circuit board is within the enclosure and includes a plurality of connectors including a first connector and a second connector separated by a first space. The air flow blockage member is proximate the first space and is movable between at least a first open position and a second open position distinct from the first open position.

Abstract: A keyed filler panel with removably-coupleable airflow resistive filler card assembly is disclosed. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of a filler panel body. The present embodiment is further comprised of an airflow resistive filler portion removably-coupleable with said filler panel body. The airflow resistive filler portion adapted to couple with the filler panel body without additional hardware.

Abstract: The present invention provides a baffle for use with an electronic system including a wall, a first edge guide, and a second edge guide. The wall has a first edge and a second edge opposite the first. The first edge guide is connected to the wall and extends beyond the first edge of the wall. The second edge guide is connected to the wall and extends beyond the second edge of the wall. The first edge guide and the second edge guide are adapted to selectively associate with a first card guide and a second card guide of the modular electronic system. The baffle is adapted to manage airflow within the modular electronic system.

Abstract: A substrate cover assembly is disclosed. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of a cover element adapted to be removably-coupleable with a substrate. The present embodiment is further comprised of at least one openable portion coupled with the cover element. Beneficially, the openable portion is adapted to allow access to a portion of the substrate.

Abstract: The apparatus includes an elongated wash tank and an elongated rinse tank each having a plurality of conduits disposed adjacent to the bottom thereof. Conduits in the washing tank are connected to a Wye. One inlet branch of the Wye is supplied with air at a pressure of at least 15 psi and the second inlet branch of the Wye is connected to a recirculating pump having an output of at least 30 psi. A mixture of pressurized air and water is discharged from apertures in the elongated conduits and forms vortices in a bath of water held in the tank. Window blinds are suspended in the tank in contact with the vortices. The elongated conduits in the rinse tank are supplied with air at a pressure of greater than 15 psi. Air is discharged from the elongated conduits in the rinse tank through vertically directed openings. After the blinds are washed in the wash tank they are inserted in the rinse tank and thereafter removed and air dried.

Abstract: A new trash receptacle for permitting easy removal therefrom of a filled trash bag. The inventive device includes outer and inner portions each having a base and a side wall. The inner and outer portions are spaced apart to define an air space therebetween. The inner base of the inner portion has a plurality of apertures therethrough into the air space between the inner and outer bases to permit air flow from the air space into the interior space of the trash receptacle to help relieve the vacuum formed when a trash bag is removed from the interior space.

Abstract: Window blinds are cleaned by suspending a blind in a tank containing a bath of water. Pressurized air and water are discharged from openings in elongated conduits into the bath so as to form vortices contacting the blind. After the blind is washed, it is rinsed and dried.

Abstract: Described here are a novel means and device for noninvasively quantifying important blood constituents. Total hemoglobin, arterial oxygen content, hematocrit, and other parameters can all be determined quickly and easily without the need for skin puncture or lengthy laboratory analysis. The invention described here concerns the simultaneous measurement of volume changes and changes in the mass of either oxyhemoglobin, total hemoglobin, or reduced hemoglobin. The data obtained by these measurements is used to quantify the parameters of interest.
