A more efficient cooling system for densely packed electronic components for use in an out-of-doors equipment enclosure. An array of cooling assemblies are placed on heat generating components mounted to printed circuit boards mounted in enclosure racks. Each board has a manifold for intake and exhaust of refrigerant, and larger rack manifolds are substituted for rails and are attached to a backplane. A hybrid package including a ceramic hybrid power module and an attached array of cooling assemblies provide even more density of components and improved cooling.

A device is designed to remove blockages in a lumen such as a thrombus, blood clot, or embolus. The device comprises a manipulating wire and a structure that can conduct electrical current to a lumen blockage. The electrical current is preferably in radio frequency (RF). The RF electric current in the blockage can excite the contents such as proteins of the blockage, so that cross-linking density and interfacial adsorption of the entire blockage is enhanced. The enhanced cross-linking density can result in increased fracture resistance of the blockage such that fracture of the blockage during the removal process is unlikely. The enhanced interfacial adsorption results in increased interfacial fracture resistance between the device and blockage so that the blockage can be securely captured during the removal process without using radially applied force.

Multiple inductor structures and methods for providing low mutual inductance between the inductors are described. In various embodiments of the invention, the polarities of the inductors are positioned such that parasitic mutual inductance is reduced by causing electro-magnetic fields to at least partially cancel resulting in a reduction in interference between the inductors. The polarities of the magnetic fields produced by each inductor are opposite to each other so that at least a partial cancellation results when the fields interfere with each other.
