Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) having an engineered thermal path and a method of manufacturing are disclosed herein. In one aspect, the PCB includes complementary cavities formed on opposite sides of the PCB. The complementary cavities are in a thermal communication and/or an electrical communication to form the engineered thermal path and each cavity is filled with a thermally conductive material to provide a thermal pathway for circuits and components of the PCB. The method of manufacturing may further include drilling and/or milling each cavity, panel plating the cavities and filling the cavities with a suitable filling material.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dumbbell support stand having a flat base, an upstanding support stand and a dumbbell support platform. The flat base allows for placement of the stand in close proximity to a weightlifting bench for improved access to the dumbbell, while further allowing its placement under a weightlifting bench for additional stability. The dumbbell support platform comprises a first and second embodiment, the first employing two, separated receiver supports having an angled rearward portion, and the second embodiment having a singular platform positioned at a slight angle from the vertical to assist a user grasping a nearly upright dumbbell when engaging in overhead dumbbell extension exercises. In the first embodiment, the two receiver platforms employ a forward and interior raised lip to prevent a dumbbell from falling from the platform, while the open space between platforms allows the user to grasp the dumbbell handle without obstruction.
