  • Device cooling
    Patent number: 9823718
    Abstract: The description relates to devices, such as computing devices. One example can include a processor secured to a circuit board and a self-biasing heat sink positioned over the processor and secured to the circuit board to complete a Faraday Cage around the processor. The self-biasing heat sink can include a peripheral portion positioned in a first plane and a contact portion positioned in a second different plane and biased against the heat generating component by an interposed biasing portion that is flexed to force the contact portion against the processor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2017

  • Support arm for ultrasound scanning
    Patent number: 9366378
    Abstract: A transducer connects with a support arm. The support arm supports only some of the weight, even in a locked state. By only supporting a portion or less than all of the weight, the support arm allows downward movement or pressure, but less than the pressure applied without any resistance for the gravity acting on the support arm. The pressure maintains contact between the patient and the transducer for scanning.
