20090029582 | Tamper-Evident Connector - Embodiments of a tamper-evident connector are disclosed which may optionally be used in a trusted computing environment. In an exemplary embodiment, a tamper-evident connection includes a mate-once engaging assembly for providing with a first component, the mate-once engaging assembly including a foldable portion. The tamper-evident connection also includes a receiving chamber for providing with a second component, the mate-once engaging assembly fitting in the receiving chamber to physically secure the first component to the second component, the foldable portion of the mate-once engaging assembly unfolding during removal of the mate-once engaging assembly from the receiving chamber to provide evidence of tampering when the first component has been removed from the second component. Optionally, the first component is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and the second component is a system board. | 01-29-2009 |

20120074783 | PASSIVE IMPEDANCE MATCHING - Methods, devices, and systems for passive impedance matching are provided. An example of a method of passive impedance matching includes providing a substantially equivalent impedance between a source and a load for three single-phase power supplies via a geometry of a busbar. The busbar can be coupled to the three-phase power supplies as the source and coupled to a plurality of electronic machines as the load. | 03-29-2012 |
20120087084 | Drive Carrier With Pivoting Handle - A drive carrier comprises a base adapted to receive a drive, two opposing sides extending from the base with each side having first and second stand-off receiving apertures that each receives a stand-off from a surface on which the drive carrier is positioned. The carrier comprises a handle coupled to each side via a hinge. The handle has a stand-off receiving notch associated with each side and each stand-off receiving notch receives one of the stand-offs when the drive carrier is locked in place on the surface. Each notch applies insertion and removal forces against the received stand-off during insertion and removal of the carrier. The hinge defines a plane through the hinges and parallel to the base. The handle pivots downward toward the plane and base to lock the drive carrier to the surface. When the drive carrier is in a locked position, the handle rests above the plane. | 04-12-2012 |
20120188710 | LATCH FOR A RACK MOUNTED DEVICE - A latch for holding a rack mounted device into a rack is disclosed. The latch is formed from an essentially flat plate. The latch has an attachment section used to attach the latch to the rack mounted device. A serpentine section is formed adjacent to the attachment section. A beam section extends at an angle from the serpentine section. A head is attached to the end of the beam. The head has a catch that extends from the edge of the beam by a distance X, where X is in the plane of the flat plate. The serpentine section allows the head to be deflected by distance X where the deflection is in the plane of the flat plate. | 07-26-2012 |

20150027969 | RELEASE LATCH - A release latch apparatus can include a locking mechanism coupled to a first position of a rocker and a spring mechanism coupled to a second position of the rocker. | 01-29-2015 |
20150357755 | LATCH TO GENERATE POSITIVE LOCKING LATCH RETENTION FORCE - A socket is to receive a memory module usable in a computing system. A latch is to retain the memory module seated in the socket. The latch is to generate a positive locking latch retention force to prevent removal of the memory module while the latch is in a latched position. | 12-10-2015 |
