  • Publication number: 20240180075
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electric tool comprising a body, an operating component, an output shaft, and a stop mechanism. An arresting disc is disposed on the output shaft, and a groove is formed on the arresting disc; the stop mechanism comprises a protrusion, for example, a pin, which is operable so that the protrusion extends to insert into the groove to lock the output shaft. A stop mechanism of the present invention is easy to operate, delivers good safety performance, and has a relatively simple structure, which allows convenient production and subsequent maintenance. Further, a stop mechanism of the present invention automatically springs back to a non-stop position at which it detaches from the output shaft or the transmission gear of the transmission mechanism when the external force is lost, which prevents possible damage to the output shaft or transmission mechanism when a user starts the electric tool before releasing the stop mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11997827
    Abstract: An immersion cooling system includes an immersion tank that is configured to retain dielectric working fluid and to hold a plurality of computing devices submerged in the dielectric working fluid. The immersion cooling system also includes a condenser that is configured to cause condensation of vaporized working fluid. The immersion cooling system also includes a subcooling heat exchanger that is in fluid communication with a coolant source. The coolant source provides coolant having a coolant temperature that is lower than a boiling point of the dielectric working fluid. The subcooling heat exchanger is positioned so that heat transfer can occur between the dielectric working fluid and the subcooling heat exchanger. The immersion cooling system also includes a control system that controls how much of the coolant flows into the subcooling heat exchanger based at least in part on a temperature of the dielectric working fluid.

  • Patent number: 11977669
    Abstract: Methods and systems for securing data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may be operably connected to other devices via ports. When operably connected, some devices connected via the ports may cause undesired actions to be performed. To limit physical access to the ports, a security apparatus may be used to lock the ports. The security apparatus may transition between states where it may be inserted into openings for the ports and may be locked to the openings for the ports. When so locked, physical access to the ports may be limited.
