An elastomeric sealing device operable at an operating temperature above an installation temperature. The sealing device includes a body fabricated from an elastomeric material. A channel is formed within the body. A mesh is disposed within the channel. The mesh includes a plurality of interwoven fibers forming an inner volume. A filler is disposed within the inner volume. At least a portion of the filler is a liquid at the installation temperature. The at least a portion of the filler is a gas at the operating temperature.

Temperature activated elastomeric sealing device

A lighting system for a navigational system of a vehicle includes a scanning unit and one or more lighting assemblies. Each lighting assembly includes one or more laser diodes configured to emit light, a lens array including one or more lens elements, and a controller electrically coupled with each of the laser diodes. The lens array receives incoming light from the laser diodes and direct the incoming light from the lens array as a collimated beam. The controller individually controls a power level of each of the laser diodes. The laser diodes, the lens array, and the controller are disposed on a substrate and disposed in a common housing. Each lighting assembly is arranged in an arc relative to the scanning unit. The scanning unit receives the collimated beam from each lighting assembly and directs the collimated beam from each lighting assembly in two orthogonal directions.

Vehicle navigational system

A reusable phase-change thermal interface structure having a metal based foam and a fusible metal based alloy is provided. In a solid phase of the fusible metal based alloy the fusible metal based alloy is disposed at least in a portion of the metal based foam. Further, in a liquid phase of the fusible metal based alloy the fusible metal based alloy is disposed at least on a portion of one or more outer surfaces of the metal based foam.

Reusable phase-change thermal interface structures

A thermal connector configured to be placed within a recess of a heat sink between the heat sink and a heat generating component and transfer heat from the component to the heat sink, including a heat spreader configured to fit within the recess of the heat sink, a spring configured to sit between the heat spreader and with the heat sink and bias the heat spreader towards and away from the heat sink, a flexible membrane attached to the heat sink and the heat spreader and seal off the recess, and a phase change material that fills the recess, wherein the flexible membrane contains the phase change material and allows it to contract or expand in response to the movement of the heat spreader towards or away from the heat sink.

Flexible metallic heat connector

A circuit card assembly is provided. The assembly includes a first printed circuit board, at least one electronic component mounted on the first printed circuit board at a predetermined location, a frame coupled to the first printed circuit board, and a heat transfer assembly coupled to the frame. The heat transfer assembly includes a first plate extending over at least a portion of the first printed circuit board, a heat pipe coupled to the first plate, and a thermally conductive member positioned between the at least one electronic component and the heat pipe. The thermally conductive member is selectively mounted at predetermined locations along the first plate based on the predetermined location of the at least one electronic component.
