  • Publication number: 20250133695
    Abstract: A flow-through folding membrane accumulator comprises a hollow cylindrical housing and a folding flexible membrane disposed in an interior volume of the housing. The membrane defines an interior liquid channel extending through the membrane along a longitudinal axis, and liquid coolant flows from an inlet of the accumulator through the interior liquid channel to an outlet of the accumulator. The membrane is sealed to the housing such that an air-tight cavity filled with a gas is formed between the housing and the membrane. The cavity radially surrounds the internal liquid channel, with the membrane separating the cavity and the internal liquid channel. Volumes of the cavity and channel change in response to deformation of the membrane and based on pressures of the liquid coolant. The membrane may comprise multiple folds extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and distributed circumferentially around the axis.

  • Patent number: 12207431
    Abstract: A system chassis may comprise a frame having a width, depth, and height and a plurality of divider walls coupled to the frame and forming a plurality of receptacles each configured to receive an electronics tray containing an electronic assembly. Each of the plurality of divider walls comprises a metal sheet having a front edge, a back edge, and two lateral edges, the two lateral edges attached to two lateral walls of the frame. The front edge of the metal sheet has a concave shape such that a distance between the front edge and the back edge of the metal sheet continuously decreases while moving laterally from one lateral edge to a center of the front edge and continuously increases while moving laterally from the center to the opposite lateral edge.

  • Publication number: 20240376917
    Abstract: A screw-latching assembly is provided. The assembly includes a screw with a head, a tip, and a body between the head and tip. The body includes a threaded portion adjacent to the tip and an unthreaded portion adjacent to the head, and the unthreaded portion includes a built-in collar with an outer diameter larger than that of the body. The assembly includes a supporting bracket supporting and partially encompassing a first portion of the screw. The supporting bracket includes a base and multiple sidewalls, with a first sidewall comprising a first opening to allow a second portion of the screw to extend out of the supporting bracket and a second sidewall comprising a second opening to allow access to the head by a torquing tool. The assembly includes a spring surrounding at least a portion of the body, with the spring positioned between the built-in collar and the first sidewall.
