  • Patent number: 11839062
    Abstract: A cooling assembly includes an evaporator containing a primary cooling medium, a passive condenser, and a heat exchanger. When a secondary cooling medium is provided to the heat exchanger, the primary cooling medium in the gas phase switches from being received by the passive condenser to the heat exchanger without operating any valves located between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger. The primary cooling medium circulates between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger by natural circulation and gravity without a pump in the flow path of the primary cooling medium between the heat exchanger and the evaporator and between the passive condenser and the evaporator to circulate the primary cooling medium.

  • Patent number: 11805592
    Abstract: A circuit board assembly is applied to the field of electronic communications technologies to resolve a prior-art heat dissipation problem of a circuit board. The circuit board assembly combines, on a second circuit board, low-speed signals transmitted between a plurality of I/O modules and an IC chip, and then transmits the combined low-speed signals to the IC chip by using a low-speed cable. A low-speed signal sent by the IC chip to the plurality of I/O modules is extended to a plurality of low-speed signals on the second circuit board, and then the plurality of low-speed signals are separately sent to the plurality of I/O modules. This may be applied to a scenario in which a relatively large quantity of electronic components need to be disposed on a circuit board.

  • Patent number: 11792003
    Abstract: Distributed storage system and method for transmitting storage-related messages between host computers in a distributed storage system uses a handshake operation of a first-type communication connection between a source data transport daemon of a source host computer and a target data transport daemon of a target host computer to derive a symmetric key at each of the source and target data transport daemons. The two symmetric keys are sent to a source data transport manager of the source host computer and to a target data transport manager of the target host computer. The source and target data transport managers then use the same symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt storage-related messages that are transmitted from the source data transport manager to the target data transport manager through multiple second-type communication connections between the source and target data transport managers.
