    摘要: A mounting system for functionally-coupling a line-replaceable unit with a structural manifold for supplying fluid coolant can comprise a fastener for the line-replaceable unit having a base and a projection. The projection can have a proximal portion and a distal portion, where the fastener is at least partially-threaded along the projection, and a plurality of seals are disposed radially along the projection. A channel can extend along a longitudinal axis of the fastener from the distal portion of the projection toward the proximal portion of the projection. One or more outlets can be disposed along the projection, the one or more outlets providing fluid communication between the channel and an external environment of the fastener. The fastener can be reversibly-coupled to a mating fastener of the structural manifold such that, when coupled, the line-replaceable unit is rigidly coupled to the structural manifold and fluid is able to flow therebetween.

    摘要: A connector block comprised of a plurality of spring-embedded blind mate connector assemblies. Each of the spring-embedded blind mate connector assemblies can be comprised of a first connector extending in a first direction and a second connector extending in a second direction opposite the first direction, where the first connector and the second connector can have a common axis and can be operatively coupled to pass a signal between opposite ends of the spring-embedded blind mate connector assembly. The first connector can include a captivator, a connection extension, and a spring between the captivator and the second connector, where the spring can abut the captivator and have an outer diameter no greater than an outer diameter of the captivator.

    摘要: An adapter for aiding in the installation of a fastener assembly includes a body defining a first aperture formed in a first end thereof and configured to receive at least a portion of the fastener assembly. The first aperture is defined by at least one tapered sidewall of the body, wherein the first aperture is sized in a region or area of the at least one tapered sidewall to engage with a component of the fastener assembly when the fastener assembly is received therein. The body further defines a drive surface within the first aperture for engaging with a corresponding drive surface of a component of the fastener assembly when the fastener assembly is received within the first aperture. A second aperture is defined in a second end of the body, opposite the first end, and is configured to engage with a tool for installing the fastener assembly.
