  • Publication number: 20260079065
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a leak detection sensor that has an insulator with a first surface and a second surface. The information handling system also includes a first conductive ink formed to a first conductive pattern on the first surface and a second conductive ink formed to a second conductive pattern on the second surface. In addition, the information handling system includes a processor coupled to the leak detection sensor, the processor is configured to measure resistance change with the first conductive ink and the second conductive ink and in response to a determination that the resistance change is below a threshold, the processor transmit a signal indicating that a leak is detected.

  • Patent number: 12449880
    Abstract: A mounting rail for an input/output module of an information handling system is disclosed. The mounting rail includes a main portion, first and second railings, a non-threaded channel, and a threaded engagement. The main portion includes first, second, third, and fourth surfaces. The first and second surfaces intersect at a first edge of the first surface. The first railing extends from the first edge of the first surface. The second railing extends from a second edge of the first surface. The non-threaded channel extends from the second surface through the main portion to the third surface. The threaded engagement is secured to the second surface of the main portion, and is aligned with the non-threaded channel. The threaded engagement is located along a third edge at the intersection between the second surface and the fourth surface, and the third edge is distal from the first edge.

  • Publication number: 20070177342
    Abstract: A support foot is mechanically fastened to an information handling system chassis with a coupling device partially embedded in the support foot through injection molding of the support foot over the coupling device. For instance the coupling device is a staple made of ductile metal having a body embedded in the support foot and two legs extending outward towards the chassis side of the support foot. The legs insert in openings at a chassis attachment point and bend to secure the support foot to the chassis. For instance, the staple legs are formed from a ductile metal, such as brass, aluminum or steel, that is bent by hand or by a machine to a closed staple shape.

  • Publication number: 20050270246
    Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a antenna carrier that includes an antenna module receiving region. The antenna module includes an antenna and a radio frequency transceiver coupled to the antenna. The antenna carrier includes a passive tuning element situated adjacent to the module receiving region, the element exhibiting a length selected to cause the antenna to resonate at a predetermined frequency when the antenna module is placed in the module receiving region.

  • Publication number: 20050047104
    Abstract: In a method and system for detachably docking a portable device to a docking device, the docking device is placed on a stable surface. The docking device includes a pair of moveable rear latches and moveable front latches, which are operable to latch on to corresponding matching slots of the portable device when docked. The portable device is aligned vertically on top of the docking device. A vertical force is applied on the portable device. When properly aligned a pair of alignment pins included in the docking device mate with corresponding notches on the portable device when the two devices are docked. A release latch on the docking device is operable to undock the two devices.
