  • Publication number: 20210185850
    Abstract: Two liquid cooling mechanisms are provided for cooling integrated circuit components immersed in an open bath immersion tank. In the first mechanism, heat generated by high-thermal design power (TDP) components is absorbed by a working fluid passing through cold plates coupled to the high-TDP components. The cold plates are part of direct liquid cooling loops attached to supply and return manifolds fluidly connected to a cooling distribution unit. In the second mechanism, integrated circuit components not coupled to any of the direct liquid cooling loops dissipate heat directly to the immersion fluid. In some embodiments, the tank is a closed bath immersion tank and heat captured by the working fluid is reclaimed and converted to electricity. Working fluid flow rate can be adjusted based on integrated circuit component power consumption levels to achieve a desired working fluid temperature as it enters an energy reclamation unit.

  • Patent number: 8228192
    Abstract: A security device for attachment to an article to deter theft of the article has a housing containing an alarm system including an audible alarm with a defeat mechanism having a two-part connector that attaches to both a cable and a locking mechanism. The connector includes a mechanical fuse (e.g., two-step ferrule holder) that provides defeat prevention of the alarm device. The locked device alarms if pulled too hard from twisting the cable without releasing the primary lock. The connector is preferably shaped as a generally elliptic cylindrical bayonet having an oval transverse cross-section and a truncated oblique cone-shaped distal end. This enables the plug to be inserted into a locking channel of the locking mechanism in either of two directions facilitating the locking of the attached cable about an article of merchandise.

  • Publication number: 20040061241
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for improving the delivery and filtering of power to a semiconductor device is disclosed by organizing out interconnects (pins, balls, pads or other interconnects) used to carry power in a striped configuration that shortens the conductive path required between a power source and a semiconductor device and that reduces the resistance of that conductive path.
