Abstract: A nozzle useful for enhancing localized cooling of electronic elements and the like is provided. The nozzle is mountable on a substantially planar face of a substrate. It is conformed to intercept a fluid flowing across said face and redirect it toward the substrate. The nozzle comprises a hood, an output window, and between them, a transition region. The transition region is conformed to turn the flowing fluid toward the substrate and to contract the fluid flow.

Abstract: To improve the thermal management of an enclosure for electrical equipment or the like, one or more wall-mounted panels are provided. An air-filled space between each panel and the adjacent wall, door, or ceiling has insulative behavior when the air in the space is stagnant. Accordingly, thermal exchange through the wall, etc. is impeded. When the air in the air-filled space is circulated, thermal exchange is permitted.

Abstract: A stress relief apparatus includes a base having a plurality of pins projecting from the base in an axial direction. The pins may have different lengths to accommodate a conductor. Alternatively, spring loaded pins may be used to accommodate the conductor. Spring loaded pins of a common length may be used. The base having a plurality of slots. The base can be mounted to a mounting surface of a printed circuit board or other electrical system. A clip has an engaging surface normal to the axial direction. A latch is attached to the clip. The latch is received by any one of the plurality of slots for detachably mounting the clip to the base in any one of a plurality of heights. Each height provides a respectively different distance between the pins and the engaging surface, such that any one of a plurality of differently sized conductors is gripped between the pins and the engaging surface when the clip is attached to the base, so as to provide stress relief.

Abstract: A stress relief apparatus for a conductor has two bodies, at least one of which pivots so as to grip the conductor. The bodies have first and second contours, respectively. The contours face each other, so that the smallest distance between the first and second contours changes as the pivoting body pivots. First and second elastic members bias the first and second bodies, respectively, so that each of the first and second bodies engage a cable positioned between the first and second bodies. The bodies may both be pivoting bodies, and may be mirror images of one another. The contours of the bodies may have an elliptical shape. Alternatively, the bodies may have a circular shape, in which case each body pivots about a pivot point that is located at a non-zero distance from the center of that body.

Abstract: A subterranean outside plant telecommunications equipment enclosure system including a substantially water-tight containing capsule slidably and rotatably received within a vertical underground sleeve. The capsule is selectively positionable into a first upwardly projecting position with respect to the sleeve and a second storage position within the sleeve. The system provides easy access for servicing and prevents binding of telecommunications cables connected to the capsule.
