Space saving, modular, hot-pluggable power modules
An example power module includes an energy storage device, an energy storage carrier, and an electrical connector. The energy storage carrier houses the energy storage device and is removably insertable into a modular data storage slot of a computing device. The modular data storage slot has a data path and a first power path to removably couple to a data storage module. The electrical connector is to transfer energy from the energy storage device to a second power path associated with the modular data storage slot.
Power supply structure
A power supply structure comprises a housing, a socket and a fan. The housing has a main housing, a terminal housing and a front panel, wherein the terminal housing connected with the main housing. The fan and the terminal housing disposed on one end of the main housing, and the fan attached to the front panel. The socket arranged in parallel with the fan and connected to the terminal housing.
Drive carrier assemblies
An example apparatus comprises a drive carrier assembly which may include a memory device, and an energy storage device having at least a portion thereof encased in a housing. In some examples, the apparatus may include a printed circuit assembly to detect a power failure of a host computing device. The printed circuit assembly, may have a first portion coupled to the energy storage device and a second portion coupled to a backplane of the host computing device.
POWER SUPPLY ASSEMBLY WITH FAN ASSEMBLY FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A fan assembly is disclosed. The fan assembly can include a first support frame. The fan assembly can comprise a shaft assembly having a first end coupled with the first support frame and a second end disposed away from the first end. A second support frame can be coupled with the first support frame and disposed at or over the second end of the shaft assembly. An impeller can have fan blades coupled with a hub, the hub being disposed over the shaft assembly for rotation between the first and second support frames about a longitudinal axis. Transverse loading on the shaft assembly can be controlled by the first and second support frames.
CIRCUIT MODULE AND POWER SUPPLY CHIP MODULE
Provided is a circuit module including a power supply chip module, a load chip module, and a system board. A power supply output terminal group of the power supply chip module is arranged side by side in a row along a side of the power supply chip module board, the power supply input terminal group of a load chip module includes a specific terminal group arranged in a specific row that is a row along a side of the load chip module board, and a wiring width along an arrangement direction of the power supply output terminal group of a wiring pattern in which the power supply output terminal group is connected to the system board is equal to or more than a wiring width W31 along an arrangement direction of the specific terminal group of the wiring pattern in which the specific terminal group is connected to the system board.
Computer case
A computer case configured to dispose a motherboard and a graphics card therein is provided. The computer case includes an outer frame and a motherboard carrier. The outer frame includes a side surface. The motherboard carrier is connected to the outer frame and configured to dispose the motherboard thereon. A body of the motherboard carrier and the side surface form a predetermined angle of greater than 0°.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
An electronic device that is able to operate by receiving a power supply from a host device through a Universal Serial Bus (USB). The electronic device acts as a first sink device and is connected to a second sink device that is able to operate by receiving a power supply from the host device through the USB and the connection to the first sink device. Each of the first sink device and the second sink device is provided with a CC terminal that obtains power supplying capability information from the host device, a pull-up or pull-down resistor connected to the CC terminal, and a GND terminal that grounds a circuit of the CC terminal and the pull-up or pull-down resistor. The electronic device changes a state of grounding of the pull-up or pull-down resistor to the GND terminal, in one of the first sink device and the second sink device.
Storage apparatus
A storage apparatus mounted in a rack includes: a battery that is placed on a front surface side of a power supply and supplies power during a backup operation; a drive mounting unit that is placed in front of the battery and has drives mounted thereon; a midplane that is placed between the battery and the drive mounting unit and relays signals and power; and a sub-midplane that is placed between the midplane and the battery and relays signals and power from the power supply and the battery, wherein the midplane and the sub-midplane are coupled to each other by a bus bar for supplying the power from the power supply, and an air passage that is capable of supplying cooling air from an intake port, formed on the front surface, to the battery without allowing the cooling air to pass around a periphery of the drives is provided.
Modular Display Panel
Embodiments of the invention are related to modular display panels. In one embodiment, a modular display panel includes a first side which includes a display surface, and an opposite second side.
