20140102554 | AIRFLOW GUIDE MEMBER - An airflow guide member includes an airflow guide cover and a movable plate. The airflow guide cover includes a top plate and a number of airflow guide plates extending in a fore-and-aft direction from a bottom of the top plate. Front ends of the airflow guide plates extend forward and out of a front side of the top plate. The movable plate is slidably connected to the top plate and is capable of sliding forward to cover the front ends of the airflow guide plates. | 04-17-2014 |
20140106604 | AIRFLOW GUIDE MEMBER AND CARD SOCKET ASSEMBLY WITH AIRFLOW GUIDE MEMBER - A card socket assembly includes a card socket and a non-conductive airflow guide member. The card socket includes a main body defining a slot, and two latches rotatably connected to opposite ends of the main body. The airflow guide member includes a main plate and an airflow guide plate. A bottom of the main plate is inserted into the slot of the card socket. Two notches are defined in a first end and a second end of the main plate opposite to the first end, to receive the latches. The airflow guide plate is formed on the first end of the main plate, and includes an airflow guide portion slanted relative to the main plate, to guide airflow away from the card socket. | 04-17-2014 |
20140116773 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH AIR BAFFLE ASSEMBLY - An electronic device includes a plate and an air baffle assembly. The plate defines a through hole. The air baffle assembly is mounted in the through hole. The air baffle assembly includes a base mounted to a portion of the plate bounding the through hole, and a number of bristle-shaped flexible air baffle portions formed on the base to partially cover the through hole. | 05-01-2014 |
20140138365 | WELDING APPARATUS - A welding apparatus to weld two wires includes a chassis, a direct current (DC) power supply, and a contacting plate. The contacting plate is electrically connected to a cathode of the DC power supply. The chassis defines an entrance aligned with the contacting plate. A socket is attached to the chassis and electrically connected to the anode of the DC power supply. Separated ends of the wires are connected to the socket. Joint ends of the metal wires are twisted together and extend into the chassis through the entrance to contact with the contacting plate to cause a rush current to flow through the wires. | 05-22-2014 |
20140156243 | FAN SELECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A fan selection method is provided. The method determines an optimal amount of each type of fan to be used in a cabinet. The optimal amount of each type of fan is determined by an intersection between a fan performance curve and an airflow resistance curve of the cabinet. The model number and optimal amount of each type of fan is output to a user. | 06-05-2014 |
20140172348 | THERMAL TEST DETERMINING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SERVER - A thermal test determining method is executed by a computing device to set a preset test time of each thermal test of a server. To-be-monitored channels of the server are selected. A fan rotation speed for each thermal test is set. In each thermal test, a control command is transmitted to the server to control fans to work according to the fan rotation speed. The temperature of each to-be-monitored channel is obtained from the temperature recorder. A reference temperature is selected from N obtained temperatures of each to-be-monitored channel. The reference temperature is compared with each temperature obtained after the reference temperature. The server is determined to has reached temperature equalization if each comparison result is not greater than a preset value, and the actual test time of each thermal test is not greater than the preset test time. A related computing device and storage medium is also provided. | 06-19-2014 |
20140188425 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING FANS FOR SERVER CABINET - A method for selecting fans for a server cabinet includes the following steps. First, a type of fan stored in a database is selected, and the parameters related to the fan of the selected type are compared to input parameters of a server cabinet. Second, a maximum quantity of the fan of the selected type that can be accommodated in the server cabinet is calculated. Third, an airflow of an initial quantity of the fan of the selected type is calculated when the initial quantity of the fan of the selected type is determined to be less than the maximum quantity. Fourth, the initial quantity of the fan of the selected type and the related parameters of the fan of the selected type are output to a display if the calculated airflow is determined to be greater than or equal to a minimum required airflow of the server cabinet. | 07-03-2014 |
20140204523 | HEAT DISSIPATION SYSTEM WITH AIR DUCT - An air duct includes a hollow main body defining a through slot, an inlet member and an outlet member connected to opposite ends of the main body. The inlet member includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall. The second sidewall slantingly extends forward and away from the first sidewall. A space communicating with the through slot is bounded by the top wall, the bottom wall, and the first and second sidewalls. The space has an inlet wider than the through slot. The outlet member is perpendicularly connected to the main body and defines an outlet communicating with the through slot. | 07-24-2014 |
20140313667 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH FAN MODULE - An electronic device includes a main body and a number of fan modules. The main body defines a number of vents in a top of the main body. The fan modules are mounted to the top of the main body. Each fan module includes a housing and a fan. The housing includes a side plate defining an opening aligned with the vents. A stop plate is pivotably connected to a first end of the opening, and is operable to cover the opening. The fan is mounted in the housing, and is near a second end of the opening opposite to the first end. | 10-23-2014 |
