Appl. No.:

10/285892

International Classification:

G06F 116

US Classification:

361683, 361679, 3122232, 292175

Abstract:

A tool-less latch mechanism for attaching a panel to an enclosure for electronic equipment such as a computer. A lever is mounted to a first enclosure component at a pivot point and is operable to move in a pivot plane. A pawl extends from the lever substantially orthogonal to the pivot plane, and an arcuate slot is fixed on a second enclosure component. When the lever pivots from an open to a closed position, engagement of the pawl with a first surface of the slot causes relative movement between the enclosure components in a first longitudinal direction. When the lever pivots from the closed to the open position, engagement of the pawl with a second surface of the slot causes relative movement between the enclosure components in an opposite longitudinal direction.

US Classification:

310 90, 310 62, 310 63, 417354, 417353, 417352, 384461

Abstract:

A motor assembly comprises a plurality of redundant bearings, a plurality of coaxial support elements, with at least one of the support elements rotatable about an axis of rotation, and an armature rotatably guided by the plurality of support elements to rotate about the axis of rotation. The bearings provide redundancy to continue armature rotation in the event one bearing fails.

H05K005/06

US Classification:

361753000

Abstract:

A printed circuit board assembly mounting system comprises a chassis support having at least one keyhole. The keyhole is adapted to receive a mounting post coupled to a printed circuit board assembly. The chassis support further comprises at least one guide adapted to align the mounting post with the keyhole. The mounting post is adapted to slidably engage the keyhole to secure the printed circuit board assembly to the chassis support.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A charging system employing a liquid-cooled transmission cable for transferring power. The transmission cable has a central tube with an extruded member disposed therewithin for carrying coolant. A plurality of layers of coaxial tubular wire braid are disposed around the central tube that carry charging current and that are separated by a layers of dielectric material. An outer layer of wire braid is disposed around an outermost layer of dielectric material that is used for grounding and/or shielding. An outer jacket is disposed around the outer layer of wire braid for encasing the transmission cable. The extruded member may comprise a thermoplastic rubber extrusion, for example. The coolant path through the transmission cable is internally supported by means of the extruded member to assure uniform flexibility, maintain tangential magnetic flux, and eliminate kinking and collapse of the flow path. The transmission cable is designed for charging propulsion batteries of an electric vehicle at extremely high charge rates. The charging system includes an external power source and off-vehicle inverter for providing charging current to the propulsion batteries by way of a charge port and a rectification/filter circuit in the electric vehicle.
