A canister system having a cylindrical housing and a modular electronic rack system disposed within the cylindrical housing. The modular electronic rack system includes a thermal contact member that is in at least selective physical contact with an interior surface of the cylindrical housing to permit conductive heat transfer there through. An input/output device extends along at least a portion of the modular electronic rack system and includes a power input and a signal output electrically coupled thereto. A plurality of electronic slots disposed at a position generally along the modular electronic rack system is provided.

Thermal conduction to a cylindrical shaft

A canister system having a cylindrical housing, having at least one enclosed end, and a modular electronic rack system disposed within the cylindrical housing. The modular electronic rack system including an input/output device extending along at least a portion of the modular electronic rack system. The modular electronic rack system further having a power input and a signal output electrically coupled to the input/output device&#x2014;at least one of the power input and the signal output extending through the at least one enclosed end of the cylindrical housing at a first sealed terminal. The canister system further having a first alignment system for physically aligning an electronic connection with the sealed terminal. The electronic connection having physically engaging features extending from the cylindrical housing to align the electronic connection therewith.

Alignment mechanism for cabling to a cylinder head

A ruggedized canister system having a cylindrical housing and a modular electronic rack system disposed therein. The modular electronic rack system includes a backplane and a plurality of rib members radiating outwardly from the backplane. The rib members extend from the backplane at a proximal end in a direction generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the backplane toward a distal end. An input/output device extends along at least a portion of the backplane and includes a power input and a signal output electrically coupled thereto. A plurality of electronic slots are positioned within a space define by the rib members when viewed in plan view. Each of the electronic slots is configured to physically and operably receive an electronic card. Each of the electronic slots is electrically connected to the input/output device for electrical communication between the electronic card and the input/output device.
