H02B 100

US Classification:

361601, 361615, 361617, 361732, 429 97, 3122231

Abstract:

For use with a rack for supporting a first battery having first terminals and a second battery having second terminals, an interlock kit comprising a partition mount and a partition. The partition mount is couplable to the rack proximate the first battery and the second battery. The partition is coupled to the partition mount and translatable between a first battery access position that allows access to ends of the first terminals and obstructs access to the second terminals and a second battery access position that allows access to ends of the second terminals and obstructs access to the first terminals.

US Classification:

361741, 361740, 361732, 361747, 361759, 361801, 361802, 361796

Abstract:

A system is configured for installing a replaceable component at a replaceable component locus in an equipment cabinet having a front and back plane and a plurality of sides. A fixed component occupies a first volume that establishes a replaceable component volume between the first volume and the back plane. The system includes: (a) a substrate supporting the replaceable component that presents substantially parallel first and second edges in a substrate plane; and (b) a guide structure fixed with the cabinet that cooperates with the substrate to slidingly move the substrate along a replacement route between the front plane and a replacement locus in the replaceable component volume in alternate first and second installation movements. The first installation movement is responsive to a first installation force applied to the substrate in the substrate plane. The second installation movement is responsive to a second installation force applied generally perpendicular with the substrate plane.

09/788955

Inventors:

Michael Buskmiller - Dallas TX, US
Vincent Byrne - Mesquite TX, US
Edward Fontana - Rockwall TX, US
Dan Kolides - Mesquite TX, US
Yehoshua Mandelcorn - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

H05K009/00

US Classification:

361/818000

Abstract:

The present invention provides an electromagnetic interference (EMI) module cover for use in an electronics module that is configured to house electrical components that are capable of generating electromagnetic emissions that cause EMI. In one embodiment a conductive sidepanel has a resilient cantilever member formed therefrom with a fixed end that is integrally formed with the sidepanel and a movable end that is free of a module coupler, thereby allowing the resilient cantilever member to flex as the module is installed in a chassis. The resilient cantilever member has a boss that is formed proximate to the movable free end. The boss extends outward from the sidepanel a distance sufficient to provide a conductive path between the conductive sidepanel and an adjacent conductive surface when the module is installed in the chassis.

International Classification:

H01M 804

US Classification:

429 22

Abstract:

The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a system for providing fuel to a backup electrical fuel cell. In this particular embodiment, the system includes a sealed fuel container having a pierceable membrane with a container seal associated therewith, an acerate tube proximate the pierceable membrane, and an actuator. The actuator is coupled to the acerate tube and automatically drives the acerate tube through the pierceable membrane to provide fluid communication from the fuel container to the fuel cell in response to a failure of a primary electrical power system. The container seal is configured to form a seal about the acerate tube when the acerate tube pierces the pierceable membrane to prevent unnecessary loss of fuel, such as methanol, from the container. In alternative embodiments, the system may also include the primary power system and a backup electrical fuel cell that is electrically coupled to the primary power system.
