Apparatus and associated methods relate to removing an adhesively-attached component from a circuit board assembly. A complementary pair of high-permeability members are positioned on opposite sides of the circuit board assembly about the adhesively-attached component. Then, a magnetic field is induced within the complementary pair of high permeability members via a coil driver generating an AC current in an inductive coil circumscribing a central pedestal of the complementary pair of high-permeability members. The magnetic field induced is directed through the adhesively-attached component via a central pedestal located proximate the adhesively-attached component. A return path for the magnetic field is provided about a periphery of the adhesively-attached component via a peripheral pedestal.

Technologies for dynamically managing resources in disaggregated accelerators include an accelerator. The accelerator includes acceleration circuitry with multiple logic portions, each capable of executing a different workload. Additionally, the accelerator includes communication circuitry to receive a workload to be executed by a logic portion of the accelerator and a dynamic resource allocation logic unit to identify a resource utilization threshold associated with one or more shared resources of the accelerator to be used by a logic portion in the execution of the workload, limit, as a function of the resource utilization threshold, the utilization of the one or more shared resources by the logic portion as the logic portion executes the workload, and subsequently adjust the resource utilization threshold as the workload is executed. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

The present disclosure provides for a heatshield that can be actively cooled during a rework process. The heatshield may include a backer plate, a metal plate, and/or a package pedestal. The backer plate may include one or more air inlet ports configured to be connected to an air compressor. Air inlet ducts may extend from the air inlet ports through at least a portion of the backer plate. A plurality of vents may extend from the air inlet ducts to a top surface of the backer plate such that the plurality of vents directs cooling gas forced into the heatshield towards the metal plate and a first BGA. The cooling gas may maintain the solder joint temperature of the first BGA package below the reflow temperature and below the solidus temperature of the solder joints to prevent reflow-related solder joint defects from occurring in the first BGA package during rework of a second BGA package.

Provided is a method for removing an electronic component from a printed wiring board. The method comprises applying an embrittlement agent to a lead of an electronic component that is soldered to the printed wiring board. The electronic component is removed from the printed wiring board by breaking the embrittled lead.

Provided is a system for removing an electronic component from a printed circuit board (PCB). The system may comprise a heating well configured to hold a rework liquid. The system may further comprise a head system configured to create a liquid-tight seal around an electronic component. The system may further comprise a nozzle and a mechanical capture device disposed within the head system. The mechanical capture device may be configured to attach to the electronic component. The system may further comprise a controller. The controller may be configured to release the rework liquid through the nozzle and onto the electronic component and lift the electronic component off the PCB.

Examples may include racks for a data center and sleds for the racks, the sleds arranged to house physical resources for the data center. The sleds and racks can be arranged to be autonomously manipulated, such as, by a robot. The sleds and racks can include features to facilitate automated installation, removal, maintenance, and manipulation by a robot.

Embodiments are generally directed apparatuses, methods, techniques and so forth to select two or more processing units of the plurality of processing units to process a workload, and configure a circuit switch to link the two or more processing units to process the workload, the two or more processing units each linked to each other via paths of communication and the circuit switch.

A lifting structure in the form of a release hook configured to conveniently and easily release computer components from their supporting structure by a simple pivoting action in response to lifting of thumbscrews. A typical computer component would be a PCIe card within a GPU tray. The lifting structure does not require the use of tools to release the computer components, and can be used where computer components ordinarily cannot be released by human fingers due to limitations of space. The lifting structure lifts the computer component to a height where the computer component can then be easily grasped by human fingers for removal of the component.

The leadframe substrate mainly includes a modulator, a plurality of metal leads, a resin layer and a crack inhibiting structure. The resin layer provides mechanical bonds between the modulator and the metal leads disposed about peripheral sidewalls of the modulator. The crack inhibiting structure includes a continuous interlocking fiber sheet that covers the modulator/resin interfaces, so that the segregation induced along the modulator/resin interfaces or cracks formed within the resin layer can be prevented or restrained from extending to the top surfaces, thereby ensuring the signal integrity of the flip chip assembly.

A method for repairing a semiconductor chip and a device for repairing a semiconductor chip is provided, and the method for repairing a semiconductor chip includes: providing a plurality of light-emitting units, and at least one of the light-emitting units being a damaged light-emitting unit; next, removing the damaged light-emitting unit to form an unoccupied position; then, using a pick and place module to obtain a good light-emitting unit from a carrier board; then, a volatile adhesive material is formed on the bottom of the good light-emitting unit; next, the volatile adhesive material is used to adhere the good light-emitting unit to the unoccupied position; finally, the good light-emitting unit is heated so that the good light-emitting unit is fixed onto the unoccupied position.
