According to some embodiments, systems for an integrated pump and reservoir may be provided. In some embodiments, a pump may comprise a housing defining an inlet to accept a fluid and an outlet to evacuate the fluid, an impeller disposed within the housing, wherein the impeller is to move the fluid toward the outlet, a motor to power the impeller, a reservoir hydraulically coupled to the inlet, and a cold plate disposed at least partially within the housing.

According to some embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a cold plate comprising a plurality of fins and an impeller comprising a plurality of blades. An output fluid velocity angle defined by the plurality of fins may be aligned to an impeller inlet velocity angle. The impeller inlet velocity angle may be based on an operational speed of the plurality of blades and an angle of the plurality of blades with respect to a center of the impeller.

An electronic assembly includes an integrated circuit (e.g., a processor) mounted on a substrate (e.g., a motherboard), and a radial heat sink thermally coupled to the integrated circuit. The radial heat sink includes a core having an outer surface, and a plurality of helical fins that extend from the outer surface of the core. The electronic assembly may include a fan positioned near the heat sink. The appropriate angle for the helical fins relative to the longitudinal axis of the heat sink depends in part on the direction of the airflow that is produced by the fan.

Disclosed is structure and method for supplying and cutting off power to a removable card component of an electrical device, without interfering with supply of power to other components of the device (including other card components), so that the single card component can be serviced (removed/replaced/added) without interfering with supply of electrical power to other components of the electrical device. The structure includes a slider member on the frame of the device, which slides on the frame between first and second positions on the frame, and a switch actuated by the slider member. In sliding the slider member to the first position, the slider member trips the switch to cut off power only to electrical contacts, of the device, which supply electrical power to the card component, while electrical power supply to other components of the device is maintained; and in sliding the slider member to the second position the slider member trips the switch to supply power to these electrical contacts, to thereby supply power to the card component. In the first position, where power to the card component is cut off, the slider member permits removable access to the card component for servicing of the card component; and in the second position, where power is being supplied, the slider member prevents removable access to the card component for servicing thereof.
