The through-hole includes a first portion adjacent to the top surface of the body portion, and a second portion having a greater diameter than the first portion. The shaft portion is insertable through the first portion into the second portion. The shoulder portion is configured to adjustably extend above the top surface of the body portion to clamp a panel thereto. A compressible device is configured to be disposed around the shaft portion and secured by a stopper panel, which is coupled to the shaft portion and placed adjacent to the head portion within the second portion.

A cover for covering an opening of a socket formed by a housing comprises a body; one or more bosses extending from the body, a first locking mechanism, a second locking mechanism, and a release tab. The bosses movably couple the body to the housing such that the body is movable between first and second positions. The first locking mechanism releasably attaches to the housing to secure the body in the first position. The second locking mechanism releasably attaches to the housing to secure the body in the second position. The release tab aids in detaching the first locking mechanism from the first wall and the second locking mechanism from the second wall. When the body is in the first position, the body allows access to the socket through the opening. When the body is in the second position, the body prevents access to the socket through the opening.

A release mechanism is disclosed that can facilitate safely and efficiently removing an expansion card from a computing device. The release mechanism can be installed on a motherboard around an expansion slot, and can include an opening that permits access to the expansion slot to allow an expansion card to be installed therein. When removal of the expansion card is desired, a handled of the release mechanism can be pulled, causing contact surfaces of the release mechanism to push the expansion card away from the expansion slot with even force, removing the need to tilt the expansion card.

Facilitated expansion card removal

The invention provides a thermosensitive peptide hydrogel, which comprises water, a polyether/polyol polymer and a peptide molecule. The peptide molecule has a structure represented by the following chemical formula (1). Chemical Structure (1):

A component for a cage is for holding electronic devices in a computing system. The component includes a cover with a hook, an emboss, and a main panel. The cover may be couplable to the cage by the hook and emboss. The component also includes a partition with a primary panel. The partition may be couplable to the cage by the primary panel. The cover is detachable from the partition. After the cover is detached from the partition, the cover may be rotated approximately 180 degrees and reinstalled into the cage. The cover may also include another emboss to fix the cover into the cage when the cover is installed in a rotated position. The cage may also include a top portion and a bottom portion. The top and bottom portions of the cage may include features that assist the partition and the cover to maintain a fixed position.

A removable lever apparatus for inserting and removing computer equipment from a chassis module of a server rack includes a central rotatable structure, a long arm connected to and extending in a first direction away from the central rotatable structure, and a short arm connected to and extending in a second direction away from the central rotatable structure. The central rotatable structure includes a rotation stopper for limiting rotation about the axis of rotation between an inserting position and a removing position. The central rotatable structure also includes a retention structure for maintaining the coupling to the tray when the central rotatable structure is in a position other than the inserting position. The short arm is configured to engage a side wall of the chassis module when the central rotatable structure is rotated.

A method for converting a computing device from a first configuration to a second configuration is provided. A power supply unit of the computing device is moved from a first location at a second end of the computing device to a second location at a first end of the computing device. The power supply unit is rotated such that a power interface of the power supply unit is visible from the first end of the computing device. A set of fans of the computing device is rotated such that airflow direction of the set of fans matches an airflow direction of the power supply unit at the second location. Converting the computing device from the first configuration to the second configuration can allow communication ports to be accessed from a front end or from a rear end of the computing device.

A tiered locking mechanism secures a component card to a printed circuit board and includes a base, a top slider structure, and a biasing element. The base includes a first-tier side wall and a coupling structure configured to engage the PCB. The top slider structure includes a second-tier side wall along with protrusions having a beveled edge. The top slider structure is slidable between locked and unlocked positions. The unlocked position includes the protrusions being displaced away from a component card engagement side relative to the locked position. A bottom one of the protrusions and the first-tier side wall form a first receiving slot in the locked position. Atop one of the plurality of protrusions and the second-tier wall form a second receiving slot. The biasing element is configured to urge the top slider structure toward the locked position and to compress as the top slider structure moves away from the component card engagement side.

A pass-through device seals an opening of a barrier while permitting one or more cables to pass through the opening. The pass-through device includes a two-part seal that moves between an open position that permits insertion of a cable, and a closed position that establishes an airtight seal around the cable. The two-part seal can include a stationary seal segment and a moving seal segment. The moving seal segment can be moved away from the stationary seal segment by unlatching and opening a door on the pass-through device. A cable can be placed between the seal segments, and the door can be closed until it latches, thus sealing the cable between the seal segments. The seal segments can include inclines to urge the cable towards cable openings of the seal segments. In some cases, the two-part seal can include openings for multiple cables.
