  • Patent number: 8897017
    Abstract: A sliding mechanism and a swivel mechanism allow a user to quickly and safely access components of a computing system, such as hard disk drives, included in a chassis. A housing affixed to the chassis includes a tray, which is coupled to the housing by the sliding mechanism. The swivel mechanism also couples the tray to the housing and allows the tray to be pivoted about the swivel mechanism. For example, the tray may be extended out of the housing via the sliding mechanism, and the portion of the tray extending from the housing may be pivoted using the swivel mechanism to simplify access to components coupled to the tray.

    Abstract: A method for producing a hermetically gastight optoelectronic or electro-optical component with great robustness to heat and moisture is described. A housing cap is connected to a carrier in a hermetically gastight manner. Orifices in the housing cap are closed in a hermetically gastight manner by a window element. An electronic component with a housing has a housing cap, a carrier as base plate of the housing, and an interior space enclosed by the housing cap and the carrier. An optoelectronic or electro-optical converter element is arranged in the interior space. The housing cap is closed in a hermetically gastight manner by the carrier through a bonding connection of fused metal. The orifice is connected to the housing cap in a hermetically gastight manner by a window element along an edge metallization of the window element by a circumferential first seam of a fused metallic material.
