The first cover portion supports a first electronics sub-assembly that comprise a circuit board with at least one memory module socket and at least one controller chip mounted thereto. The second cover portion supports a second electronics sub-assembly that comprises a circuit board with at least one memory module socket and at least one controller chip mounted thereto. The first and second cover portions are moveable between a closed position wherein the electronics sub-assemblies are nested and an open position wherein the electronics sub-assemblies are not nested.

Abstract: Heat sink retention assemblies and related methods are described. In one embodiment, a system comprises a base, a handle rotatably mounted on the base, and heat sink retention structure joined with the handle and moveable by the handle between an opened and a closed position effective to secure a heat sink on a substrate.

Abstract: A flexible grounding strip comprises an elongated electrically conductive strip having a base extending between spaced, opposed sidewalls. At least one of the sidewalls has a flange spaced from the base and extending towards the opposed sidewall. Each of the sidewalls has a series of lengthwise-spaced slots extending widthwise across the sidewall into and at least partly across the base towards the opposed sidewall. The slot dimensions and spacing impart flexibility to enable the strip to bend transversely of its length.

Abstract: A memory package comprising a first circuit board having a plurality of memory element sockets and a second circuit board coupled to the first circuit board and comprising a controller chip. The first and second circuit boards are disposed within a tray having a base and two sides. A handle is connected to the tray such that the handle is pivotal with respect to the tray. The handle has a lever system and latch that is slidably engaged with the lever system.

Abstract: A computer chassis comprising a chassis base and first and second drawers removably engaged with the chassis base. An interface board is mounted to the first drawer so as to couple to a first electrical component when the first electrical component is located in the first drawer. The second drawer has a connector mounted so as to couple to a second electrical component when the second electrical component is located in the second drawer. The connector engages the interface board so as to couple the first electrical component to the second electrical component when the first and second electrical components are located in the respective first and second drawers.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting at least one electrical cable is provided. The at least one electrical cable may be secured to a movable electronic device disposed within a chassis. A harness is provided that is securable to at least one electrical cable. A flexible support member is provided to support the harness and the at least one electrical cable. The flexible support member may move with the electrical device as the electrical device is moved. The flexible support member may comprise wire. A wire reel may be provided to extend and retract the wire. The wire of the wire reel may be unwound as the electrical device is moved from a normal position to a withdrawn position. The wire of the wire reel may be wound as the electronic device is moved from the withdrawn position to the normal position.

Abstract: An arrangement is provided for providing a vacuum for the brake power assist unit of a motor vehicle having a vacuum pump which can be connected as required as a function of the operating conditions, and at least one other additional pump being provided for the buildup of a sufficient vacuum in the brake power assist unit. The additional pump is a secondary air pump already present in the vehicle, the controlling of the vacuum pump taking place simultaneously with the switching-on of the secondary air pump.

Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger turbine of an internal combustion engine is provided with a spiral guide passage arranged in a turbine housing, a turbine impeller, a flow gap be ween the guide passage and the turbine impeller, and guide blades forming a guide cascade. The guide cascade with the guide blades projects axially from a support, arranged so as to be displaceable in the axial direction in the turbine housing, in such a way that the guide blades, in normal operation, are mounted in recesses of a housing wall part of the turbine housing, the recesses, in the form of a female piece, forming a mating profile shape for the guide blades. In braking operation of the internal combustion engine, the guide blades project into the flow gap during an axial displacement of the support. The device with actuation for the braking operation can be fitted as a complete module into the turbine spiral.
