A cold plate is manufactured by obtaining a base plate with a top surface, a bottom surface, and an edge. An inlet trough and an outlet trough are machined in the top surface. Fins are cut into the base plate with a tool that contacts the base plate in either the inlet trough and the outlet trough and then exits the base plate in the other of the inlet trough and the outlet trough. An inlet nozzle indent is machined from the inlet trough to the edge of the base plate, and an outlet nozzle indent is machined from the outlet trough to the edge of the base plate. A cover covers the inlet and outlet nozzle indents, and an inlet nozzle and outlet nozzle are secured to the inlet and outlet nozzle indents.

Method of manufacturing an integrated cold plate for electronics

An inventory control system and method uses a locating device associated with a mover and identifies an ID tagged asset using an ID reader also associated with the mover. Thus, a single relatively high-cost locating device may be temporarily associated with the asset, enabling precise location of a multitude of assets as a mover traverses an inventory area. The asset location and identification may be associated in a database. The asset location may be refined by using additional measurement devices, for example a forklift height sensor, to determine extension from a locating device. A further embodiment utilizes RFID or barcode technology for the ID tag. The locating device may utilize near-field location technology, signals-of-opportunity, or other RTLS technologies.

Inventory control and method

A system and method for identification and location of an asset by tracking the mover of the asset using a locating device associated with the mover and identifying the asset using an identification reader associated with the mover and a passive identification tag associated with the asset. A single mover may move many assets. An asset is identified; the mover then moves the asset to a destination location, whereupon the mover and asset position are determined. The asset location may then be recorded in memory. The measurement of the destination location may be extended from the location measured by the active location device by using additional measurement devices, for example a forklift height sensor. A further embodiment utilizes RFID or barcode technology for the passive tag and may utilize near field positioning technology for the active location device.
