An apparatus for providing a stiffener and cooling to a printed circuit board includes a printed circuit board coupled to a top surface of a stiffening cooling structure, where a lower surface of the printed circuit board is opposite the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure. One or more channels of the stiffening cooling structure defined by the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure, a bottom surface of the stiffening cooling structure, and one or more support members, where the one or more support members are positioned between the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure and the bottom surface of the stiffening cooling. One or more apertures in the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure directs airflow from the one or more channels of the stiffening cooling structure to one or more components disposed on a top surface of the printed circuit board.

Stiffener cooling structure

A pump is provided which includes a rotating element, and a volute housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. In operational state, the rotating element rotates, drawing fluid through the fluid inlet of the volute housing and expelling the fluid at a higher pressure through the fluid outlet. Further, the pump includes a bypass mechanism integrated, at least in part, within the volute housing and exposing in nonoperational state of the pump, a bypass path through, at least in part, the volute housing that allows the fluid to pass from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet of the pump.
