Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120114860METHOD OF INHIBITING FORMATION OF DEPOSITS IN A MANUFACTURING SYSTEM - A method inhibits formation of deposits on a cooling surface of an electrode. The electrode is used in a manufacturing system that deposits a material on a carrier body. The cooling surface comprises copper. The system includes a reactor defining a chamber. The electrode is at least partially disposed within the chamber and supports the carrier body. A circulation system, in fluid communication with the electrode, transports a coolant composition to and from the cooling surface. The coolant composition comprises a coolant and dissolved copper from the cooling surface. A filtration system is in fluid communication with the circulation system. The method heats the electrode. The cooling surface of the electrode is contacted with the coolant composition. The material is deposited on the carrier body, and the coolant composition is filtered with the filtration system to remove at least a portion of the dissolved copper therefrom.05-10-2012

20090009962COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH MOTOR COOLER - A computer system comprises a chassis, an electronic component disposed within the chassis, and a cooling fan that comprises a motor support fixed to a housing that is coupled to the chassis and a hub disposed within the housing. A plurality of blades extend radially from the hub. A motor is disposed within a motor enclosure formed by the motor support and the hub. The hub is rotatably coupled to the motor such that the plurality of blades generates a flow of air around the motor enclosure. The system comprises a motor cooler comprising a flow path through the motor enclosure, where the flow path has a first opening and a second opening, and where the second opening is disposed within an area of lowered downstream pressure so as to develop a differential pressure between the first and second openings and generate a flow of air through the motor enclosure.01-08-2009
20090010771MOTOR COOLER - A cooling fan comprises an outer housing. A motor support is fixed to the outer housing and a motor is mounted to the motor support. A hub is rotatably coupled to the motor and, with the motor support, forms a motor enclosure that substantially surrounds the motor. A plurality of blades extends radially from the hub and are arranged so as to generate a flow of air around the motor enclosure when the blades are rotated. The cooling fan also comprises a motor cooler comprising a flow path through the motor enclosure, wherein the flow path has a first opening and a second opening, wherein the second opening is disposed within an area of lowered downstream pressure so as to develop a differential pressure between the first and second openings and generate a flow of air through the motor enclosure as the motor operates.01-08-2009
20090083487Maintaining data stored in a memory module when transferring the memory module from a first controller to a second controller - To transfer a memory module between controllers, an external power source is connected to a memory module mounted to a first controller. The memory module is removed from the first controller with the external power source connected to the memory module to maintain data stored in volatile memory of the memory module. The memory module is mounted to a second controller.03-26-2009
20110007472CABLE MANAGEMENT MODULE - A cable management module having of a first module capable of connecting to a hard disk drive drawer; a second module releasably connected to the first module. A plurality of pairs of connecting arms connect the first module to the second module with each of the pairs of connecting arms being pivotally joined to each other at an intermediate point. A catch member is located on at least one side of the first module and a locking release mechanism is attached to the second module and to a locking member capable of engaging the catch member. A method for accessing a hard disk drive without disconnecting input/output cables and a method of replacing the input/output cables is also disclosed.01-13-2011

20100128475Outdoor Lighting Fixture Using LEDs - An outdoor lighting fixture using LEDs as a light source has a decorative housing that includes a cast metal dome roof and one or more LED light engines, wherein the light engines conductive metal substrate is in conformal contact with a portion of the inner surface of the roof, such that the roof provides increased heat sink mass and the outer surface of the roof provides a heat dissipative surface area outside of the housing. Preferred embodiments include a street light wherein two LED light engines are mounted at about 20 and 160 degrees to a line parallel to the street segment to produce an asymmetric light profile that reaches over and along the street for an effective distance, but does not extend very far on the side away from the street. Also disclosed is a reflector module for an LED light engine having rows of cone reflectors modified to produce an effective emission pattern.05-27-2010

20100246178Thermal Management For LED Lighting - A light emitting diode (LED) lighting device that includes a housing and a heat sink assembly received within the housing. The heat sink assembly includes at least a first heat sink member and at least a second heat sink member. A printed circuit board having at least one LED provided thereon is mounted to both the first heat sink member and the second heat sink member. At least one biasing member biases an outer side of the first heat sink member and an outer side of the second heat sink member into contact with an inner side of the housing. Heat from the at least one LED is transferred through the heat sink assembly to the housing, where it is dissipated into the air.09-30-2010
