An electronic device with parallel backplanes and a storage device with parallel backplanes. The electronic device includes a front inserting assembly, a rear inserting assembly, and a backplane assembly. The backplane assembly is connected to the front inserting assembly and the rear inserting assembly. The backplane assembly includes a plurality of backplanes arranged in parallel at intervals, the front inserting assembly includes a plurality of first units whose arrangement direction is the same as an arrangement direction of the backplanes, and the rear inserting assembly includes a plurality of second units whose arrangement direction intersects the arrangement direction of the backplanes. The backplane assembly is provided with the structure including the plurality of backplanes arranged in parallel at intervals and the channel between adjacent backplanes. In addition, the first units and the second units are connected to two opposite sides of the backplanes, respectively.

A hardened optical platform includes a hardened enclosure including a door that when closed environmentally seals the hardened enclosure; a first set including one of more modules; a second set including one or more modules arranged substantially perpendicular to the first set; and high-speed cabling interconnecting the first set to the second set, wherein the hardened optical platform is passively cooled with the hardened enclosure and the door being weatherproof thereby having no airflow internally from a surrounding environment.

A power module is disclosed. A power module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first substrate and a second substrate spaced apart from each other, an electronic device unit provided on at least either one of the first and second substrates, and a lead frame unit provided between the first and second substrates. One side of the lead frame unit may be connected to an external circuit, and the other side thereof may be configured to electrically connect the first and second substrates. Accordingly, the lead frame unit may perform a function of electrically connecting the first and second substrates instead of a via spacer in the related art.

A distributed auxiliary hub for a portable electronic device is disclosed. The distributed auxiliary hub, located on a stacked circuit assembly, can distribute electrical signals to multiple different destinations. The distributed auxiliary hub is displaced and separate from a main logic board, and as a result, can provide supplemental functions. Although the distributed auxiliary hub is electrically coupled to the main logic board, the distributed auxiliary hub includes dedicated integrated circuits responsible for executing functions related to battery charging and powering of electronic components (e.g., haptic feedback module, speaker module, etc.). As a result, the distributed auxiliary hub, when executing these aforementioned functions, is not reliant upon the main logic board to transmit electrical current to the battery and/or electronic components. The distributed auxiliary hub, when electrically coupled to an external resource, is capable of directly transmitting electrical current to electronic components.

A power distribution bus bar is provided for distributing power to surface mount connectors. In use, the power distribution bus bar includes a circuit board and at least two add-in card connectors each mounted to a first surface of the circuit board. Additionally, at least one power supply connector distributing a power supply to the add-in card connectors is provided. The at least one power supply connector may be mounted to a second surface of the circuit board and connected to the at least two add-in card connectors.

An additive manufactured apparatus includes an assembly of additive manufactured component voxels, each additive manufactured component voxel exhibiting a corresponding functionality. Each additive manufactured component voxel includes a base layer; an outer layer, an interior space of the component voxel being defined in a volume adjacent to the base layer and the outer layer; and a component structure associated with the functionality of the component voxel. The component structure is one or more of (i) disposed in the interior space of the component voxel and (ii) embedded in the base layer. A method for designing an apparatus to be fabricated by additive manufacturing includes defining an arrangement of component voxels based on the geometric mesh and based on a specified functionality of the apparatus, and generating machine-readable instructions for manufacturing of the arrangement of component voxels.

A computer system includes a processor and a memory. The processor is located on a first circuit board having a first connector. The memory is located on a second circuit board having a second connector. The first circuit board and the second board are physically separated from each other but connect to each other through the connector. The processor and the memory are communicated to each other based on a differential signaling scheme.

An expandable electrical distribution skid can be manufactured as a monolithic, pre-wired, pre-engineered, and pre-assembled integrated platform to provide a critical power supply and distribute electrical power distribution, which can expand from a collapsed state to an expanded state, and vice versa. The expandable electrical distribution skid can be manufactured as a monolithic, pre-wired, pre-engineered, and pre-assembled integrated platform, where the frame is broken up into multiple segments. The different segments of framework for the expandable electrical distribution skid are coupled to connect to a common expansion track in order to move one or more of the segments at least one of i) inward to collapse and ii) outward to expand.

A motor vehicle lock includes at least one electric component carrier, and said electric component carrier is a modular element that includes at least one conductor, a switch and/or an additional component. The electric component carrier includes a separate housing and can be fastened to an outer surface of the motor vehicle lock.

An on-board system includes: a plurality of detectors provided to a vehicle; a controller configured to control an on-board instrument mounted on the vehicle based on detection information indicating a result of detection by each of the detectors; a detector hub interposed between each of the detectors and the controller in an intercommunicatable manner and configured to collect the detection information obtained by the detectors and transmit the collected detection information to the controller; a first network connecting the on-board instrument and the controller in an intercommunicatable manner; and a second network independent from the first network and connecting the detectors, the detector hub, and the controller in an intercommunicatable manner. As a result, the on-board system and the detector hub can achieve appropriate communication.
