    Abstract: A method includes securing a primary cold plate to a secondary cold plate, wherein the primary cold plate is biased away from the secondary cold plate. The secondary cold plate is aligned with a circuit board having heat-generating components, wherein the primary cold plate is aligned with a processor. The method secures the aligned secondary cold plate to the circuit board with a first surface in thermal engagement with the heat-generating components, wherein the primary cold plate is pressed against the processor to overcome the bias, move the primary cold plate toward the secondary cold plate, position the primary cold plate in thermal engagement with the processor, and compress a thermal interface material between the primary and secondary cold plates. A cooling liquid is passed through a liquid cooling channel within the primary cold plate to draw heat from the processor and from the secondary cold plate.

  • Publication number: 20150131227
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame forming a bay for receiving an electronic module having a blind mate connector for coupling with a chassis connector. An actuator is slidably secured to the frame and forms a push button, an intermediate actuation member, and a distal actuation member. A spring latch is biased to latch the module in place. An ejection lever is pivotally secured to one side of the bay, and has a first end aligned with the distal actuation member and a second end disposed to engage the module. Pushing the push button causes the intermediate actuation member to withdraw the spring latch from the bay and then causes the distal actuation member to pivot the ejection lever to unseat and eject the module.

    Abstract: An illumination system defined a primary optical axis is provided. The illumination system comprises a light source, a first lens group, an integrator rod, and a second lens group successively located on the primary optical axis. The light source is configured to output a light. The first lens group is configured to reduce an aperture angle of the light to about 27 degrees. The integrator rod is configured to make the light uniformly. The second lens group is configured to amplify an illumination field of the light and reduce the aperture angle of the light to about 3 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20150131259
    Abstract: A light source suitable for general lighting applications combines at least one remote phosphor LED and at least one direct emitting LED in a single unit. Both the remote phosphor LED and the direct emitting LED are carried by a base and covered by a bulb or other suitable cover member, which may be light-diffusing. The remote phosphor LED includes a first LED, a phosphor layer, and a first dichroic reflector. Excitation light from the first LED is reflected by the first dichroic reflector onto the phosphor layer to generate phosphor light, which is substantially transmitted by the first dichroic reflector. At least some light from the direct emitting LED propagates to the cover member without passing through any dichroic reflector, including the first dichroic reflector. The light source may provide white light output using relatively small amounts of phosphor material.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an optical system having a light source (e.g., LED) and a high numerical aperture multi-element optical stack. According to one embodiment, the optical stack can reimage an entrance aperture. The multi-element optical stack can include a number of optical elements forming a series of lenses. The series of lenses comprises, a first lens positioned to receive light emitted in a first beam angle and a second lens more distal from the LED than the first lens, the second lens defining a second lens exit aperture that has at least a minimum area necessary to conserve radiance for the emission beam angle in air. The lenses in said series of lenses are configured, in combination, to successively reduce a beam angle of light from the first beam angle to the emission beam angle.

    Abstract: A device for illuminating bottles provides a housing with an upper casing and a lower casing that serve to enclose electrical components. The electrical components include a power source, illumination source, and a circuit which electrically connects said power source and illumination source. A three-way switch allows a user to configure the illumination source and circuit, selecting between three settings. The three-way switch is thus electrically connected between the power source and illumination source by means of the circuit. A secondary switch enables operation of a variable state, in which the illumination source turns off or on depending on if it is placed on a table or lifted from a table. The housing is coupled to a bottle by a bottle receiving portion on the upper casing, which is dome shaped in order to allow for an interference fit. The device is used to illuminate a secured bottle.
