Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing a data structure are disclosed. An example method can comprise categorizing, based on travel information associated with a vehicle, locations according to at least one of a first category and a second category. An example method can comprise generating search criteria configured to select first data for locations categorized with the first category and second data for locations categorized with the second category. The first data can be more detailed than the second data. An example method can comprise receiving information based on the search criteria and providing the information to the vehicle.

Abstract: An electronics chassis heat-pipe conduction cooling system includes a first chassis wall having multiple heat transfer sleeves defining multiple first chassis slots. A cabinet bottom chassis wall has multiple second chassis slots. A cabinet second chassis wall has multiple heat transfer sleeves defining multiple third chassis slots. Multiple first heat-pipes each have a vertical leg received in one of the first chassis slots and a horizontal leg received in one of the second chassis slots. Multiple second heat-pipes each have a vertical leg received in one of the third chassis slots and a horizontal leg received in one of the second chassis slots. A cold plate in direct contact with the cabinet bottom chassis wall completes a conduction cooling path including the vertical leg of the first and second heat-pipes through the horizontal leg of the first and second heat-pipes and the bottom chassis wall.

Abstract: A heat sink attachment clip for attaching a heat sink assembly to a frame, the heat sink attachment clip includes a pair of attachment brackets. Each attachment bracket has one or more attachment legs and each attachment leg has a clip attachment means for engagement with a corresponding frame attachment means. A levered cam is used to bear on heat sink assembly. The levered cam is moveable from a first position in which the levered cam does not press the heat sink assembly against the frame to a second position in which the levered cam the heat sink assembly presses the heat sink assembly against the frame. A a handle connects the levered cams of the two attachment clips so that movement of the handle engages both levered cams simultaneously.

Abstract: A cooling device is provided for dissipating heat from a heat source such as, e.g., an integrated circuit. The cooling device includes a heat sink having a fin structure, a blower assembled with the heat sink for moving air through the fin structure, and a spring attachment mechanism for clamping the heat sink to the heat source.

Abstract: A folded fin heat sink assembly and a method of fabricating a folded fin heat sink assembly for use as a cooling solution in micro-electronics and/or telecommunication applications. The heat sink assembly is formed by placing a sheet or paste of Sn—Zn solder upon a copper base plate, placing one or more aluminum folded fin assemblies on the solder sheet or paste, heating the base plate, the folded fin assembly and the solder to a temperature exceeding the liquidus temperature of the solder and allowing the solder to flow, and cooling the solder to form a soldered joint between the base plate and the folded fin assembly.

Abstract: The present description discusses apparatus and methods for applying straps around a bundle of objects by applying a variable force to tension the strap around the bundle of objects and then actuating a series of cams to control the sealing of the strap around the bundle of objects. The strap is bonded together by the insertion of a heating element between the strap ends to activate the adhesive thereon. The strapping machine for accomplishing the above method is configured with a feed and tension unit configured to provide a simplified “V-shaped” strap path that reduces bending of the strap, reduces friction on the strap, and minimizes other strap feeding difficulties. The machine is further comprised of a track assembly configured with a track channel having a plurality of biased covers. The covers are biased in a closed position until tension is applied to the strap, which forces the covers to pivot open and release the strap around the bundle of objects.
