Estimating the term…
The present invention contemplates a significant departure from known shielded enclosure designs by providing an enclosure for electronic modules, comprising walls made of composite material including conductive fibers for shielding the enclosure interior from electromagnetic radiation, and means for securely mounting at least one module inside the enclosure with a fastener means, the mounting means comprising composite material. The present invention further contemplates methods for making shielded enclosures and card guides for such enclosures that represent a significant improvement over known enclosure designs. This invention contemplates composite cold walls and composite fins. These composite fins and cold walls may be used alone or together in structures and enclosures which are useful in conducting heat.
A cold wall having a number of guide ribs thereon, wherein the cold wall and the guide ribs are a composite material comprising a matrix and conductive fibers, wherein the fibers are woven in a cross-ply manner with an unbalanced fiber ratio oriented in a direction to facilitate heat transfer through the guide rib and further through the cold wall.
A cold wall having a number of guide ribs thereon, wherein the cold wall and the guide ribs are a composite material comprising a thermoset of thermoplastic resin and conductive fibers, wherein the fibers are woven in a cross-ply manner with an unbalanced fiber ratio oriented in a direction to facilitate heat transfer through the guide rib and further through the cold wall.
A cold wall having a number of guide ribs thereon, wherein the cold wall and the guide ribs are composite material comprising a matrix and conductive fibers and a heat exchanger attached to the cold wall for dissipating heat conducted from the guide ribs and the cold wall.
