  • Publication number: 20250353165
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a mobile robot for automated server handling. The robot includes a shelf holding a plurality of server trays and a telescoping server loading tray. The telescoping server loading tray extends externally from the robot and retracts internally inside the robot. The telescoping server loading tray also includes an end having one or more locking and unlocking latches configured to engage a server tray. Aspects of the disclosure provide for determining coordinates using a position verification tool, which can be provided to the mobile robot for identifying locations of racks with target server trays.

  • Patent number: 11800695
    Abstract: The technology relates to a memory insertion machine for inserting memory modules into memory sockets on a circuit board. The memory insertion machine may include one or more insertion rods moveably mounted to one or more vertical guides, one or more profilometers, and an insertion controller. The insertion controller may be configured to apply an insertion force to a memory module in a memory socket, by controlling the movement of the one or more insertion rods on the one or more vertical guides. The insertion controller may be further configured to determine, based on information received from the one or more profilometers, a measured distance between a top of the memory module and a top of the memory socket.

  • Patent number: 11616322
    Abstract: A magnetic adapter for a cable connector includes a main body having an opening, a compression surface exposed within the opening and configured to compress a biasing retention clip of the cable connector, at least one locking surface configured to secure the biasing retention clip in a second non-locking position; and at least one magnet adjacent the opening. When the biasing retention clip is positioned within the opening, the compression surface causes the biasing retention clip to move from a first locking position where the retention clip is in a fully biased position to the second non-locking position where the retention clip is compressed.
