20080236393 | FILTER ASSEMBLY - A filter assembly comprising a cover plate and a filter support. The filter support includes a length extending perpendicularly from an edge of the cover plate, a first edge and a second edge defining a height, a first U-shaped filter support extending from the first edge and a second U-shaped filter support extending from the second edge. The first U-shaped filter support and the second U-shaped filter support are configured to hold a filter there-between. | 10-02-2008 |
20080237408 | CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - An apparatus for managing cables and configured to attach to a side of an electronic device is disclosed. The apparatus has a first planar member which has a plurality of attach points that match a plurality of attach points on an electronic device. The first planar member defines an aperture at least as large as a cable to be attached to the electronic device. The apparatus also has a second planar member parallel to the first planar member. The second planar member has a plurality of attach points that match a plurality of attach points on the electronic device. Additionally, the apparatus has a first support bar connected to and positioned normal to the first planar member and the second planar member. | 10-02-2008 |
20080238114 | MODULAR CHASSIS LOCK BAR - A lock bar comprises two end sections, each end section including a slot configured to enable attaching the lock bar to a modular chassis and to enable moving the lock bar between a locked position and an unlocked position when the lock bar is attached to the modular chassis; and a middle section coupled to the two end sections and configured with a length longer than the width of the modular chassis. | 10-02-2008 |
20080239661 | APPARATUS FOR COOLING ELECTRONICS - An apparatus for guiding air through electronic components is disclosed. The apparatus has an intake, a transition portion, and a focused egress. The transition portion is connected to the intake and defines a channel. The channel has a generally āuā shaped cross-section and a first edge and a second edge configured to be positioned substantially opposing a surface. The focused egress is connected to the transition portion. | 10-02-2008 |
20080239666 | FAN MODULE - A fan module is disclosed. The fan module includes a base, at least one first side coupled to the base, and a plurality of fans coupled to the base. The plurality of fans are configured to substantially disperse thermal energy away from one or more electronic components in an enclosure to maintain a current temperature of the one or more electronic components below a critical temperature. The fan module further includes a connector mounted on the at least one first side and coupled to provide power to the plurality of fans. When one of the plurality of fans ceases to operate, the remaining fans in the plurality of fans continue to substantially disperse thermal energy away from the one or more electronic components while maintaining the current temperature below the critical temperature. | 10-02-2008 |
20080240090 | PROGRAMMABLE HIGH SPEED CROSSBAR SWITCH - A method for switching digital signals is disclosed. From an external control connection, the method configures a plurality of digital signal paths with at least one crossbar switch and controls a plurality of input and output connections for the digital signals based on the crossbar switch configuration. The method further involves automatically revising the digital signal routing without manual intervention based on configuration commands from the external control connection. | 10-02-2008 |
20080240409 | CROSSBAR CABLE - A crossbar cable to connect a crossbar switch with a plurality of outputs comprises a switch connector, a plurality of cables, a plurality of device connectors, and an encasing wrap. The switch connector comprises a plurality of sockets. Each cable has wires connected at a first end to a subset of the sockets in the switch connector. Each device connector is connected to a second end of the wires of one of the plurality of cables. Each of the device connectors is communicatively coupled over the wires to the subset of sockets at the first end of its respective one of the plurality of cables. An encasing wrap bundles the plurality of cables at least at the first ends of the plurality of cables. | 10-02-2008 |
