  • Publication number: 20250133684
    Abstract: A test system rack or cabinet includes a housing containing instruments or equipment and a mass interconnect (MIC) mounted within the housing. The MIC has inputs to couple to the instruments or equipment and outputs to couple to a second MIC separate from the rack. The test system rack has legs positioned underneath the housing to support the housing and the first MIC. The test system rack has actuators configured to adjust a position of the first MIC without adjusting a position of the one or more legs.

  • Patent number: 12114462
    Abstract: Various types of electronic devices may be mounted in a chassis in order to facilitate interfacing with the devices, containing the devices, provide cooling systems which may remove heat from the electronic devices, etc. Delivering adequate cooling air flow to each electronic device in a chassis may be an important issue for the proper functioning, lifetime, or other characteristics of electronic devices contained in a chassis. Some electronic devices may be particularly challenging to cool due to various design characteristics. Other electronic devices may have other requirements that are not well served by existing chassis designs. For example, some electronic devices may benefit from additional electrical and/or thermal connections. Embodiments presented herein describe a novel design for a modular card cage accessory that may be configured to modify air flow and/or to meet particular requirements of an electronic device in a chassis, among various possibilities.
