| 20110024985 | FIREARM TARGETS WITH REINFORCING FEATURES FOR ENHANCED DURABILITY AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE - The present disclosure is directed to target assemblies and targets with reinforcing features for improved durability. One example of such a target can include a target portion that is configured to be struck by a projectile, and a connector portion configured to movably couple the target portion to a support structure. The target also includes a neck portion extending between the target portion and the connector portion, and a reinforcing portion proximate to the neck portion. The reinforcing portion comprises an integral portion of the target that is at least partially deformed to reinforce or otherwise strengthen the neck portion. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20090156114 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING AIR COOLING OF AN ELECTRONICS RACK - Apparatus and method are provided for facilitating air cooling of an electronics rack. The apparatus includes a tile assembly, temperature sensor and controller. The tile assembly is disposed adjacent to the electronics rack, and includes a perforated tile and one or more controllable air-moving devices associated with the perforated tile for moving air through the perforated tile. The temperature sensor is positioned for sensing air temperature adjacent and external to, or within, the electronics rack, and the controller is coupled to the tile assembly and the temperature sensor for controlling operation of the air-moving device. Airflow through the tile assembly is adjusted based on air temperature sensed, thereby facilitating air cooling of the electronics rack. In one embodiment, the tile assembly is a floor tile assembly with an air-to-liquid heat exchanger disposed between the perforated tile and the air-moving device for cooling air passing through the floor tile assembly. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100254106 | LATCHING APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING DOCKING OF AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT - A latching apparatus is coupled to a first electronic component for facilitating docking to a second electronic component. The apparatus includes a pivotable actuation handle, and slide and pivotable linkages. The slide linkage couples to the pivotable actuation handle and is slidable in directions which the first component docks to the second component. The pivotable linkage is also coupled to the slide linkage and includes a latching hook at its distal end. With the first component disposed for docking relative to the second component, pivotal actuation of the handle to open is translated to pivotal movement of the pivotable linkage to facilitate aligning the latching hook over a hook pocket of the second component, and pivotal actuation of the handle closed is translated to pivotal movement of the pivotable linkage to engage the hook pocket, and thereby draw the first component into docked relation with the second component. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110205705 | AIRFLOW RECIRCULATION AND COOLING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AN ELECTRONICS RACK - An apparatus is provided for facilitating cooling of an electronics rack of a data center. The apparatus includes: an airflow director mounted to the electronics rack to redirect airflow exhausting from the electronics rack through an airflow return pathway back towards an air inlet side of the rack; an air-to-liquid heat exchanger disposed within the airflow return pathway for cooling redirected airflow before exiting into the data center near the air inlet side of the rack; an air temperature sensor for monitoring air temperature of the redirected airflow; and an automated isolation door associated with the airflow director for automatically blocking airflow exhausting from the air outlet side of the electronics rack from passing through the airflow return pathway back towards the air inlet side of the rack responsive to temperature of the redirected airflow exceeding a defined temperature threshold. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20110051372 | STRESS RELIEVED HOSE ROUTING TO LIQUID-COOLED ELECTRONICS RACK DOOR - A cooling apparatus and method are provided which include an air-to-liquid heat exchanger and system coolant inlet and outlet plenums mounted to an electronics rack door along an edge of the door remote from the edge hingedly mounted to the rack. The plenums are in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and respectively include an inlet and outlet. Coolant supply and return hoses are disposed above the electronics rack and couple the inlet plenum to a coolant supply header and the outlet plenum to a coolant return header. The hoses are sufficiently long and flexible to open or close the door. A stress relief structure is attached to the top of the door and clamps the supply and return hoses in fixed relation to relieve stress on connect couplings at the ends of the hoses to the plenum inlet and outlet during opening or closing of the door. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110056675 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING COOLANT FLOW RESISTANCE THROUGH LIQUID-COOLED ELECTRONICS RACK(S) - Apparatuses and methods are presented for adjusting coolant flow resistance through one or more liquid-cooled electronics racks. Flow restrictors are employed in association with multiple heat exchange tube sections of a heat exchange assembly, or in association with a plurality of coolant supply lines or coolant return lines feeding multiple heat exchange assemblies. Flow restrictors associated with respective heat exchange tube sections (or respective heat exchange assemblies) are disposed at the coolant channel inlet or coolant channel outlet of the tube sections (or of the heat exchange assemblies). These flow restrictors tailor coolant flow resistance through the heat exchange tube sections or through the heat exchange assemblies to enhance overall heat transfer within the tube sections or across heat exchange assemblies by tailoring coolant flow. In one embodiment, the flow restrictors tailor a coolant flow distribution differential across multiple heat exchange tube sections or across multiple heat exchange assemblies. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20090154159 | LIGHT SOURCE FOR ILLUMINATING AN ELECTRONICS RACK TO FACILITATE SERVICING THEREOF - An apparatus is provided for facilitating servicing of an electronics rack. The apparatus includes a light source, which includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes. The plurality of light-emitting diodes are secured to the electronics rack or a floor tile disposed adjacent to the electronics rack, and are configured to illuminate at least a lower portion of the electronics rack at either the air inlet or air outlet side of the rack. A power supply is also provided for selectively supplying power to the plurality of light-emitting diodes. In one implementation, the light source includes an elongate light bar, which is configured to mount to either the inlet door or outlet door of the electronics rack, and the plurality of light-emitting diodes are secured to an elongate housing structure which pivotally couples to a base plate for adjustment of a direction of illumination by the light-emitting diodes. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20100252995 | Integrated word-search, word-link, trivia puzzle and word-scramble - An integrated word-search, word-link, trivia puzzle and word-scramble includes a number of preprinted letters in a grid region. The region contains letters which are solutions to the word-search, word-link, trivia puzzle and word-scramble, and disguising letters filling in the rest of the puzzle. Through solving the puzzle, the individual letters of the puzzle word solutions are circled in turn and linked together with a straight line. The lines linking the individual letters of the solution cross out the disguising letters which lie directly in between the solution letters. The letters which are circled cannot be crossed out with a line, and letters which are crossed out with a line cannot be circled in a subsequent part of that word solution or in a later word solution. Any remaining letters which have not been circled or crossed out with a line may be combined and unscrambled to form a word-scramble solution. | 10-07-2010 |
