20110090655 | LINECARD TO CHASSIS SECURING - A holder secures a linecard to a chassis. The holder acts as a releasable expansion bolt. To alleviate tolerance requirements for the linecard and/or chassis, the holder secures with minimal additional pressure being applied to force the linecard against the chassis. Rather than screwing a linecard face plate to the chassis card guide, the holder locks the linecard in place without requiring movement of the face plate against the chassis card guide. A gap may remain between the face plate and the chassis, substantially allowing for a desired amount of insertion of electrical connectors without adverse pressure or movement caused by the securing. | 04-21-2011 |

20140120760 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ALLOWING ALIGNMENT MISMATCH IN ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS - An apparatus includes a first electrical connector including a first housing, a contact element having a first portion connected to the first housing, and a first elastic element for supporting the first portion in the first housing. The first elastic element is deflectable to permit the contact element to move relative to the first housing. The apparatus also includes a second electrical connector including a second housing and a second elastic element that is deflectable to receive and retain a second portion of the contact element that protrudes from the first housing. | 05-01-2014 |

20080225479 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING THERMAL MANAGEMENT IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic system includes a chassis, an air flow distribution assembly having a first set of baffles disposed within an intake volume of the chassis and a second set of baffles disposed in proximity to an air outlet of the chassis. The first set of baffles is configured to turn the flow of an air stream approximately 90 degrees, relative to an inlet flow direction of the air stream, toward circuit boards disposed within the chassis. The second set of baffles is configured as a flow splitter that receives the air stream from the circuit boards and partitions the air stream into separate portions prior to the air stream exiting via the air outlet. The use of both the first and second set of baffles redirects and distributes the air stream, flowing into the air inlet, in a substantially even manner across the circuit board component mounting surfaces of the circuit boards disposed within the system. | 09-18-2008 |

20140069967 | PIN HOLDER WEARABLE AT THE WRIST - The pin holder wearable at the wrist includes a main body and a band supporting the main body and being wearable at the user's wrist. The main body includes permanent magnets and a casing. The casing accommodates the permanent magnets and has attraction surfaces at the top portion. The attraction surfaces serve to attract and hold needlecraft pins by the magnet force of the permanent magnet. The band is in the shape of a strip as a whole, and can change into the first form that the band is stretched straight or the second form that the band curves in the longitudinal direction to form a ring. The main body is relatively movable with relation to the band with a predetermined friction resistance. | 03-13-2014 |

20080318552 | Authentication loading control and information recapture in a UMTS network - An authentication loading control feature enables a service provider to control the number of authentication procedures or percentage of time that authentication procedures are performed by a network element adapted to perform authentication procedures (e.g., a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) of a UMTS network); and an information recapture feature enables the network element to obtain, in the absence of authentication, UE information that conventionally would have been received as a part of the authentication procedure as needed, for example and without limitation, to support charging and lawful intercept functions. | 12-25-2008 |
