Abstract: A data storage system may include multiple data storage devices, such as solid-state drives, an enclosure housing the devices, and a thermal bridge positioned in a gap between and in contact with each of the enclosure and a device, where the enclosure is cooler than the device. Thus, heat is conducted away from a hot spot of the device and to the enclosure. The thermal bridge may be flexible enough to bridge different sized gaps, while stiff enough to generate contact forces applied to the enclosure and the device. For example, the thermal bridge may be constructed primarily of copper and configured to function like a compression spring.

Abstract: A resistance system for an exercise device may include: a drive shaft configured to be operably connected to a movable part of an exercise device such that movement of the movable part causes the drive shaft to rotate; and a resistance source operably connected with the drive shaft and configured to resist rotation of the drive shaft. An exercise device may include: a drive shaft rotatably supported by a frame; a resistance source operably connected with the drive shaft and configured to resist rotation of the drive shaft; and first and second treadle assemblies pivotally connected with the frame and including respective moving surfaces. In such an exercise device, the first treadle assembly and the second treadle assembly may be operably connected with the drive shaft such that pivotal movement of the first treadle assembly and pivotal movement of the second treadle assembly cause the drive shaft to rotate.
