A laser cooling system includes a first tubing, a second tubing, and a cold plate assembly including a first channel to receive the first tubing and a second channel to receive the second tubing. A joint removably couples the first tubing to the second tubing and at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly over the first tubing or the second tubing. The inlet end of the first tubing receives a cooling fluid and an outlet end of the second tubing discharges the cooling fluid after the cooling fluid flows through the first tubing, the joint, and the second tubing to maintain uniform a temperature of the at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly.

A laser module service shelf is generally presented. In some embodiments, a laser system includes a rack including a stack of slots to support a plurality of laser modules in first positions within the rack, wherein the rack comprises a pair of struts extending at opposite sides of an opening in the rack through which the laser modules may pass, and a module service shelf attachable to the struts to support a weight of one of the laser modules in a second position that is cantilevered from the rack in alignment with the opening and one of the slots, wherein the module service shelf comprises a plurality of detachable sections. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Laser module service shelf

An improved ink cartridge mounting system for a primary ink jet printer including an ink cartridge mounting element having four cartridge receiving openings, each specially configured to receive an ink cartridge containing ink of a particular color. A unique arrangement of six ribs extends from the outer periphery of each cartridge receiving opening to define a distinctive keying pattern adapted to seat an ink cartridge having a fluted end portion configured to mate with the distinctive keying pattern. The unique keying pattern designated for each different color are entirely complementary to a prior keying pattern employed for the same color in an alternate type of ink jet printer but for the provision of at least one additional rib. Thus, a cyan ink cartridge, for example, has a fluted end portion so configured to mate precisely with the cyan cartridge receiving opening of both the primary and alternative ink jet printers, while a cyan ink cartridge having a fluted end portion so configured to mate precisely with the cyan cartridge opening of the alternate ink jet printer will not seat in any opening of the primary ink jet printer.
