Patent number: 11659678Abstract: An information handling system may include a chassis, a bay within the chassis for receiving a modular information handling resource, and a pulley assembly within the chassis and adjacent to the bay, the pulley assembly comprising a handle mechanically rotatable between a closed position and an open position, a pulley subsystem comprising a pulley cable mechanically coupled to the handle, and a carrier mechanically coupled to the pulley subsystem and configured such that the modular information handling resource rests on the carrier when the modular information handling resource is installed in the information handling system. The pulley assembly may be arranged such that force applied to the handle when the handle is in the open position provides a mechanical advantage via the pulley subsystem to mechanically translate the carrier in accordance with the force and the mechanical advantage to cause at least partial removal of the modular information handling resource from the bay in response to the force.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventor: Yi-Pai Chu

Patent number: 11071229Abstract: An air shroud includes a main portion, an extension portion, and a first adjustable air baffle. The main portion is in physical communication with one or more cooling fans of an information handling system. The extension portion extends from the main portion. The first adjustable air baffle is in physical communication with the extension portion. The first adjustable air baffle is biased toward an extended position. When a first memory module is located within a first memory slot of an information handling system while the main portion is in physical communication with the one or more cooling fans, the first adjustable air baffle transitions from the extended position to a collapsed position in response to a force being exerted on the first adjustable air baffle by the first memory module.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: White Yi-Pai Chu, Eric Shih Huai Cho

Patent number: 10372176Abstract: An information handling system includes a tray having a central processing unit. A main air duct component mounts on the tray over the central processing unit. The main air duct component includes a first portion having a first side vent region and a second side vent region. The main air duct component receives first and second side covers to cover the first and second side vent regions in response to the main air duct component being in a first configuration. The main air duct component receives a partition within the first portion to direct air flow out of the first and second side vent regions in response to the main air duct component being in a second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Yi-Pai Chu, Tim Chang, Shih-Huai Cho

Patent number: 10334753Abstract: An information handling system includes a component portion and a cooling portion. The component portion includes one or more components of the information handling system. The cooling portion includes a cooling fan and a baffle. The cooling fan provides air flow to the components. The baffle being movable between a first position and a second position to change an area available for the air flow to the components. The baffle is in the first position in response to only a first one of the components being located within the component portion, and the baffle is in the second position in response to both the first component and a second one of the components being located within the component portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Yi-Pai Chu, Liang-Chun Ma, Shih-Huai Cho, Hung-Pin Chien

Patent number: 7518855Abstract: A display apparatus with a detachable base support is provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel, a base, a support, and a latch. The base includes an accommodation area for accommodating the support and a protrusion, which is disposed on a sidewall around the accommodation area and projects toward a center of the accommodation area. The support includes a guiding portion and a receiving portion. The latch is movably coupled with the guiding portion to be selectively in a first position and a second position. As the latch is in the first position, the receiving portion is accessible for receiving the protrusion. When the protrusion is received in the receiving portion, the latch moves to the second position so that the receiving portion is inaccessible and the protrusion is confined within the receiving portion, whereby the support is mounted on the base and capable of supporting the display panel.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: BenQ CorporationInventor: Yi-Pai Chu
