Patent number: 7974093Abstract: An open frame chassis has a top opening and a bottom opening permitting ambient air flow there through. A plurality of modules, each enclosing electrical components which are in thermal contact with a heat sink area of their corresponding module, and each of which can be inserted to an inserted position in the open frame chassis. When the modules are inserted into the open frame chassis, ambient air may flow from the bottom opening of the chassis across the heat sink area of each module to the top opening in order to passively cool the modules and the electrical components enclosed therein. The heat sink area has fins which are separated by a distance of 9 mm to 12 mm and have a height 10 mm to 20 mm. Key pins are associated with the electrical connectors of the chassis to guide the modules into place and prevent incorrect insertion of a different type of electrical module not corresponding to the electrical connection of the chassis for that slot.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Ruggedcom Inc.Inventors: Guang Zeng, Roger Moore, Phil Levy, Yuri Luskind

Publication number: 20100155325Abstract: A method for the formation of a membrane is described. A collection of substantially spherical particles formed from a selected material is contacted with at least one reactive material. The reactive material is cured or otherwise polymerized by various techniques, so that it forms a matrix that substantially surrounds and contains the particles. A portion of the particle material is then removed, so that the matrix contains a pattern of pores that are permeable to selected substances in solution. In some instances, the matrix is formed by an interfacial reaction between at least two reactive materials. Related filtration membranes are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Lifeng Zhang, Hongyi Zhou, David Roger Moore, Gary William Yeager
