Disconnect system for an auxiliary side ramp for a modular cable protector
An auxiliary side ramp for use with modular cable protectors includes a number of tool engagement features. A tool can be used to removably engage these tool engagement features and allows a user to exert an upward force to disengage the edge connectors on adjacent auxiliary side ramps, and also disengage the auxiliary side ramp from the underlying cable protector. For example, the tool engagement features can be slots in the top surface of the auxiliary side ramp with undercuts adjacent to the lower ends of the slots. A tool with vertical rods is manually inserted into the slots to disengage the cable protectors. Horizontal projections at the bottom of the vertical rods engage the undercuts in the slots, and allow the user to disengage adjacent auxiliary side ramps by lifting upward on the tool.

Blast pipe connector and air-cooled refrigerator
An air duct connector and an air-cooled refrigerator are provided. The air duct connector includes a first connector, a first guiding structure, a positioning structure, and a second connector. An accommodation space is formed in the first connector, and is provided with an insertion opening. The first connector is further provided with a first air opening. The first guiding structure and the positioning structure are disposed on the wall of the accommodation space. The second connector is provided with a second air opening and a second guiding structure, and is adapted to be inserted, from the insertion opening, into the accommodation space of the first connector. The first guiding structure guides the second guiding structure until the second guiding structure slides to and engages with the positioning structure, such that the second connector is positioned in the accommodation space and the first air opening is connected to the second air opening.

Liquid cooling interconnect module of a computing system
Example implementations relate to a liquid cooling interconnect module of a computing system, and a tool-less method of assembling the liquid cooling interconnect module having a housing, a biasing member, and an interconnect block. The housing has an interlocking member, a support assembly, and a bore extending between a first end and a second end of the housing. The biasing member is disposed within the bore such that it contacts the support assembly. The interconnect block having a pair of through openings, is configured to be slidably inserted within the bore such that it contacts the biasing member. Further, the interconnect block is configured to compress the biasing member against the support assembly to a compressed position when the interconnect block is inserted into the bore, and the interlocking member is configured to retain the interconnect block within the housing when the biasing member is in the compressed position.

FLUID COUPLINGS
Some fluid coupling devices described herein are configured for use in fluid systems for purposes of providing a single-use, aseptic disconnection functionality that can substantially limit fluid spillage when being disconnected. In some embodiments, the coupling portions cannot be functionally reconnected to each other after being disconnected from each other.

Connector System For Releasably Connecting Fluid Conduits
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a connector system for releasably connecting together tubes, for example medical tubing, and methods of making and using such a connector system, whereby the connector system includes a female coupler having a first passageway, a male coupler having a second passageway, a catch movably coupled to the female coupler, and a catch-receiving element coupled to the male coupler. The connector system further includes a release element movably coupled to the female coupler, whereby travel of the release element along or over a female coupler outer surface of the female coupler disengages the catch from the catch-receiving element to achieve a disconnected condition of the connector system. Further disclosed herein are embodiments of a connector system for releasably connecting together tubes, whereby the connector system includes at least one valve biased by a valve-biasing member disposed external to or outside of the fluid flow path.
