309 results about "Enclosure" patented technology

An electrical enclosure is a cabinet for electrical or electronic equipment to mount switches, knobs and displays and to prevent electrical shock to equipment users and protect the contents from the environment. The enclosure is the only part of the equipment which is seen by users. It may be designed not only for its utilitarian requirements, but also to be pleasing to the eye. Regulations may dictate the features and performance of enclosures for electrical equipment in hazardous areas, such as petrochemical plants or coal mines. Electronic packaging may place many demands on an enclosure for heat dissipation, radio frequency interference and electrostatic discharge protection, as well as functional, esthetic and commercial constraints.

Rack enclosure

An enclosure is provided for housing electronic equipment that accommodates the different cooling and ventilating requirements of different types of equipment. The enclosure is constructed and arranged to support cooling airflow in a front-to-back configuration through the enclosure and in a side-to-side configuration from one side to an opposite side of the enclosure. The enclosure can thereby provide within a single enclosure means cooling air for components using front-to-back airflow for cooling, such as information technology (IT) equipment, and for components using side-to-side airflow, such as certain types of telecommunications equipment. The enclosure can thereby support a mix of IT and telecommunications equipment, providing flexibility and adaptability in network room and data center configuration. The enclosure is further configured to separate intake air used by equipment for cooling from exhaust air vented by equipment into its interior during operation. As a result, the enclosure promotes sufficient equipment cooling and prevents / minimizes equipment overheating.

Enclosure access apparatus and method

Automatic Kitchen Cabinet openers may frequently include two types of mechanisms. One type of mechanism is designed for a swinging door, such as a cupboard door. Another type is designed for sliding drawers. For a swinging door mechanism, a rotational motion is generated by a bi-directional servo motor to open or close, or open and close, the door. On a sliding mechanism, rotational motion of a geared motor may be converted to translational motion to slide the drawer in or out. These motors are controlled by a microcontroller as one system or individual unit with IR motion sensor integration or remotely via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or voice control. In some embodiments the mechanisms may be operated by 6V or 12V DC battery adapter.

Ada compliant RF shielded door systems and related methods

InactiveUS20100096180A1Minimizing radio-frequency leakageScreening rooms/chambersEngine sealsUltrasound attenuationConductive materials
Radio-frequency (RF) leakage from shielded enclosures is minimized while ensuring applicable RF attenuation standards and access requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by attaching an inflatable bladder to a door of an enclosure. Substantially surrounding the bladder is an electrically conductive material. When the bladder is inflated it makes contact with conductive material which in turn makes conductive contact with the door frame to create an RF seal. The use of the bladder and conductive material provides an improved RF seal and allows for the use of a low-profile threshold that permits ADA access to, and from, the enclosure.
