Patent number: 10978372Abstract: A heat sink apparatus that utilizes a pivot couple and support with anchor-spring mounts to enable exertion of a uniform amount of force over the mounting surface of the apparatus that is thermally/physically coupled to a heat load. The apparatus can include a heat sink base that has a bottom side defining the mounting surface, and a top side to which a support is pivotally coupled by a pivot couple. The apparatus can include a first and second anchor that each have a first end connected to an anchor point and a second end coupled to a load surface on the support by a spring. The load surfaces can be symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of the pivot couple, which is centrally located relative to the mounting surface so that the force imparted by spring loads of the springs is evenly distributed over the mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Ryan C.

Patent number: 10797417Abstract: A shielded I/O connector that supports high density connections. The shielded connector has a cage with channels. At least a first channel is configured to receive a transceiver such that it may be plugged into a port in a connector housing at an end of the cage. At least a second channel is configured to dissipate heat by enabling air to flow adjacent the transceiver. The rate of air flow in the second channel is increased with a diverter at the end of the second channel to smooth the flow of air through the second channel and out of one or more orifices. The diverter may be simply formed by shaping the housing of a connector at an end of the cage. The orifices may be formed by channel in the connector housing and openings in surfaces of the cage that bound the second channel or the housing channel.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Amphenol CorporationInventors: Michael Scholeno, Craig W.
