A thermal dissipation assembly and method, and a cooled multi-drawer electronics rack are provided having a first cooling loop and a second cooling loop. The first cooling loop is disposed substantially within an electronics drawer and positioned to extract heat from an electronics module within the drawer. The first cooling loop further includes a first planar heat transfer surface. The second cooling loop is disposed substantially external to the electronics drawer and includes a second planar heat transfer surface. A biasing mechanism mechanically forces the first planar heat transfer surface and the second heat transfer surface coplanar when the electronics drawer is in a docked position in the electronics rack to facilitate the transfer of heat from the first cooling loop to the second cooling loop.

A docking station is disclosed. The docking station has an adjustable opening that accommodates portable electronic devices with differing sizes and shapes. The opening is capable of expanding to accommodate larger devices and retracting to accommodate smaller devices while still supporting the portable electronic device in its proper position within the docking station.

A cable management arm assembly includes a frame, a support rail, a first and a second sliding members, a first and a second connectors, and an insertion socket operating in conjunction with slides. The frame slides on the support rail with both ends connected to the insertion socket and the first connector. The sliding members are respectively mounted in the connectors. A locking member is disposed on each of the connectors and the insertion socket to secure them to the slides. A limiting member is provided on the first connector connected to the frame to retain and release the first sliding member, and the limiting member is pushed when the first connector is inserted into the rear end of the outer rail to release the first sliding member for the support rail to move when the slides extend and the front and the rear arms of the frame unfold.

An approach is provided that uses a foldable transformable display case that includes two panels. The two panels are attached using a hinge. Two components are attachable to at least one of the panels. One of the two components is an integrated display screen. Another component is a keyboard unit. At least one of the components can be removed from the panels.

A shelf includes: a main panel unit; a slide member; and a component mounting panel. The slide member is pivotally attached to the main panel unit for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis and is configured for slidable mounting relative to an enclosure such that the main panel unit can be moved from a retracted position within the enclosure to an extended position that is forward of the enclosure. The main panel unit is pivotable relative to the slide member between a raised position and a lowered position when extended forwardly of the enclosure. The component mounting panel is pivotally mounted to the main panel unit for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis between front access and rear access positions.

A reconfigurable airflow director for modular blade chassis. The airflow director includes multiple duct channels having adjustable inlets and / or outlets. The airflow director may be reconfigured to adjust the amount of airflow across selected blades and selected zones on an individual blade. In one embodiment, snap-in airflow blockers are employed to block all or a portion of selected inlets or outlets to adjust the airflow through corresponding duct channels. In one embodiment, adjustable inlet vanes are employed to increase or decrease the size of adjacent inlets. In one embodiment, the airflow director is formed from multiple airflow director modules, each including an outer shell having multiple ribs extending therefrom to form multiple airflow channels, wherein the airflow director modules are stacked together to form a plurality of duct channels. Modular fan assemblies including multiple hot-swappable fans are employed to push and / or draw airflow through the duct channels of the airflow director.

A magnetic latch mechanism for latching a first electronic assembly to a second electronic assembly. The magnetic latch mechanism includes a Halbach array captured by the first electronic assembly. The Halbach array is configured to provide a first magnetic flux in a first direction. The magnetic latch mechanism further includes an attraction plate captured by the second electronic assembly. The attraction plate is configured to be coupled with the first magnetic flux when the first electronic assembly is in a closed position with respect to the second electronic assembly such that there is mutual attraction between the attraction plate and the Halbach array in the closed position.

The present invention proposes an extracting and positioning structure for a hard disk drive suitable to an industrial computer. In the present invention, two side frame boards to fix at least a hard disk drive are installed on a frame of a computer. Latticed partitioning plates are installed on the frame boards. The present invention has at least an extractable case with fixing bars installed at two sides thereof to fix a hard disk drive therein. A U-shaped plate is installed at each side of the front half section of the extractable case. Pivotal holes are respectively disposed at the top and bottom surfaces of the U-shape plate to pivotally connect a spindle protruding out of the top and bottom surfaces of a pivotal retaining element. A fixing shaft protruding out of the top and bottom surfaces at the other end of the pivotal retaining element. A slide lever is transversely arranged in the U-shaped plate at the front end of the extractable case. Transverse grooves extend from the side end surfaces at the two ends of the slide lever, respectively. Slide grooves are disposed in the transverse grooves to pivotally connect the fixing shaft to push the slide lever backwards. The other end of the pivotal retaining element will thus be pushed out of a groove hole at the side surface of the U-shaped plate and a retaining groove at the other end of the pivotal retaining element will be secured on the side frame boards. The extractable case of the hard disk drive can be extracted out by pulling the slide lever forwards.
