An apparatus for providing a safety and EMC compliant heat sink. The apparatus includes a heat sink configured to be attached to an internal power plane of a printed circuit board (PCB). The heat sink includes a plurality of fins extending outward from the heat sink. The apparatus further includes a compliance cage configured to be connected to a ground portion of the PCB, the compliance cage surrounding at least a portion of the heat sink. At least one capacitor plate contacting at least a portion of the compliance cage and extending inwards towards the heat sink and interleaving with the plurality of fins is present. Dielectric spacers are provided to fill a portion of the space between the capacitor plates and the heat sink fins.

Apparatuses and methods of fabrication are provided which include a mechanical coolant pump to facilitate pumping a coolant through a coolant loop. The mechanical coolant pump is to couple to an individual and be physically powered by a specified movement of the individual to pump coolant. Coolant pumped by the mechanical coolant pump is circulated by the coolant pump through a device associated with the individual to cool the device.

A computer equipment cooling device comprising: a temperature dependent thermal conduction member that includes a first major surface and a second major surface; a set of fins connected in thermal communication with the first major surface; and a cold plate connected in thermal communication with the second major surface.

Hybrid in-drawer computer equipment cooling device

An apparatus includes circuitry configured to maintain a record of a plurality of owners and at least one test operation owned by an owner; prompt automatically the owner in response to a failure of the one test operation; maintain a log of actions taken on the one test operation, and provide availability to the log of actions; update an estimated time to completion, and notify a management entity of the updated estimated time to completion; mark and prioritize an order related to the one test operation, in response to the estimated time to completion being within a threshold of a delivery date; rank the marked order with other marked orders by a risk of not being able to meet the delivery date; and notify the owner of the ranking with an urgent message, in response to the marked order failing to meet the delivery date.
