Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system processor to use a triangular shaped metal bracket to improve heat dissipation to improve a data transfer rate. The triangular shaped metal bracket being physically attached to an edge of the PCB at a base portion of the triangular shaped metal bracket. The triangular shaped metal bracket is thermally coupled to the set of memory components and the processing device of the PCB via the base portion along with a heat spreader on a primary and secondary side of the bracket. The triangular shaped metal bracket being configured to dissipate heat from the processing device and the set of memory components to at least a host device through a vertex portion of the triangular shaped metal bracket.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to a solid-state drive (SSD) enclosure design that is adaptable for different printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA). The SSD enclosure design comprises a three-piece construction that includes a top enclosure, a bottom enclosure, and an intermediate structure. The bottom enclosure is coupled to the top enclosure to form a housing for a PCBA having NOT AND (NAND) devices and a controller. The intermediate structure is coupled to the PCBA and positioned between the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure within the housing. The intermediate structure comprises a plurality of heatsinks to transfer heat from the NAND devices and a controller heatsink to transfer heat from the controller, whereby the type and location of the heatsinks can be changed for a different PCBA without having to change the top enclosure or bottom enclosure. The top enclosure can include vents that allow air to flow through.

Abstract: A communication system comprising a plurality of sources, a plurality of destinations, and a plurality of switches forming an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network connecting the sources to the destinations. Each switch in the plurality of switches includes a plurality of line cards. The ATM network comprises a plurality of connections where, for each respective connection, one of the plurality of sources is linked to one of the plurality of destinations through the network by linking one or more switches, in the plurality of switches, that is associated with the respective connection. The ATM network further comprises operation administration and maintenance (OAM) cell processing circuitry for detecting a failure in a connection in the network. The failure is localized to the exact line card in a switch associated with the connection that is causing the connection to fail.
