Description:
The objectives and advantages of the invention based on the problems the invention solves are: 
     1. The invention advances an up and down scalable and nestable enhanced technology with an independent sub-module extraction standardized enclosure form factor. 
     2. The invention maximizes real estate utilization and attendant internal rate of return (IRR), as measured by co-planar surface area coverage. 
     3. The invention is expansible from a single plane array or module to stacks of modules and/or multiple planes with manual, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical or electromechanical multi-planar motion available for general service access and multi-planar module replacement among nested, and stacked, coplanar and multi-planar modules. 
     4. The invention supports simplified inter-module sliding-fit access for in-band/in-stack interconnect through interconnection catch module top end cap baskets and module bottom end cap covers, with recessed side wall patch panels and wire guides. Retractors, knock-outs, cut-outs, bezels, backing plates and backing PC boards with matching, quick disconnects on all interconnections as practical, are used in the preferred embodiment, which is not to exclude more hardwired connections. This allows co- and multi-planar module (re-) wiring for in service changes, hot swap and manufacturing change over for multi-disciplinary technology interconnection and integration including parallel processing, command and control, materials and process control, including optics, thermal management, fluidics, explosion proofing, etc. as described herein. 
     5. The invention integrates internal and external heat transfer options designed to minimize the heat dissipation impact on unit density. 
     6. The invention integrates manual and automated motion of single and multiple modules, nested or not in arrays and/or stacks in multiple and/or changing spatial orientations utilizing cog motor and rack or rail, roller and track or cable, cable gripper™ (or functional equivalent) and/or cable actuator systems or any combination of the former. 
     7. The invention advances the structural use of modules, which includes usage as furnishings, with upholstery, walls, floors, ceilings and cat walks. 
     8. The invention utilizes an easy access extractable card cage/chassis with standoff landings for mounting plates and PC boards, which may be opened up and folded flat for easy work access. 
     The invention differs from already patented or made inventions as follows: 
     1. We use words to communicate and define that of which we speak for the purpose of mutual understanding. For this reason, it is necessary to define tessellation forth with. Tessellation is defined as a collection of planar figures that fill a plane with no overlaps and/or gaps. Generalizations to higher planes are also possible . . . (Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation). Tilings are defined in kind without gaps or overlaps with irregular shapes. This is a pretty standard stuff. Other patents have made claims based on tessellation, which without gaps, would indicate a solid surface without separation and therefore any extrusion from such a planar surface to the third dimension would have to be a singular solid. Therefore this invention is not a tessellation and is hence outside the scope of those patents claiming a tessellation as a basis. [Ref. US patents U.S. Pat. No. 6,469,901B1, Ser. No. 09/672,681]. 
     2. Separately, in kind again, the state of the art, as proposed in preceding patents does not meet or approximate the criterion of a tessellation or tiling with vast unclaimed gaps often exceeding the surface area of the modules, between not even remotely contiguous co- and multi-planar veritable islands connected by “rats-nests” of half-hazard wiring or RF omni-connectional bridges. More chaos than pattern. Thus although the patent proposed here may approximate a tessellation more closely than it&#39;s forebears, by definition it is not a tessellation, period, as it uses external planar and other gaps for interconnects, including wiring, cabling, tubing etc. as delineated in other areas of this document and the associated patents incorporated by reference. However, the invention is a vast improvement over prior technology as it takes control of the inter-module “rats nest” of wiring and other interconnection and brings the state of the art closer to the ideal of tessellation extruded from 2D to 3D with gaps. Further, patents using a triangular square, rectangular, hexagonal, or octagonal footprint or form factor without inter-module contact and integrated wiring are of limited utility and hence more a matter of incidental design unless specific utility and hence advantage is assigned to a shape by some feature, This is particularly true if the usage proceeds from these shapes to a circle with all geometric shapes inclusive. [Ref. U.S. Pat. No. 6,4699,01B1]. Inter-module interconnect wiring is incorporated herein by reference to the first patent application Ser. No. 12/806,206. 
     3. The invention when deployed maximizes surface coverage by approximating tessellation with gaps on the outside vertical walls. These gaps allow module separation while allowing inter-module axial sliding fit tolerances for external co -and multi-planar inter-module contact and axial intermodule, stack and array motion. Only one other patent has a possible sliding fit, which is not apparently called out in any applicable patent application, and as it appears to use a pipe, it may be assumed to be stationary, bolted in place, without a sliding fit. Other patents have no such sliding fit, either, module to module, stack to stack or in arrays. [Ref. U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,607]. 
     4. The invention allows nesting with vertical axial individual sliding fit component removal without edge, or end mount connectors, but rather using retractors, flexible cable, wire, tubing, etc. Other patents do not nest and allow individual nested submodule replacement without total, extraction of abutting units first. [Ref. U.S. Pat. No. 6,469,901]. 
     5. The invention utilizes external module side walls with recessed bezeled, unbezeled or combinational patch panels with built in or surface mounted retractors, backing plates, mounting panels and pc boards for wire, cable, etc. in conjunct with sufficient interconnect lengths. This allows abutting module axial motion while maintaining abutting intermodule co- and multi-planar interconnections for sidewall patch panel (re-) configuration, replacement and/or quick change for (re-) manufacture, field service and retrofit while accommodating all styles of interconnect, with a preferred embodiment including quick-disconnect capability. This can be done in single or multiple stacks and/or arrays with or without nesting. Modules in such an arrangement may also be taken out of a stack, an array or stack of arrays, with minimum impact on neighboring modules. No other known system has these conjoined capabilities. [Ref. U.S. Pat. No. 6,469,901] 
     6. The invention incorporates a top interconnect catch basket and an integral bottom self centering tapered slip fit cover, wherein all styles of interconnect may be mixed and matched, not just computer, or data-exchange. Interconnection capability is limited only by catalog, special hardware or the OEM, vendor or other users imagination. This diversity is based on placement of infinitely configurable mounting flats, replaceable and modifiable bezels, landings, knockouts, cutouts and plugs. This allows for individual stacked modules to be accessed for service including (re-) configuration of end cap wiring basket and cover interconnects. Other patents allow for only proprietary, including alignment based, top and bottom interconnects for communication to and from resource modules such as computers and drives a stand-alone stacks and not for inter-stack or array communication with no catch basket, tapered matching protective cover or cable and/or hanger based alignment systems. [Ref. U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,469,901, 4,501,460]. 
     7. The invention utilizes hot swap. Modules enjoy power interconnects between modules, where a three wire, hot, neutral and ground bus bar system is used within each module with quick-disconnect power interconnects at the top and bottom of each unit, preferably hermaphroditic. The top and bottom units of a singular stack are wired back to the same electrical outland master breaker panel leg. This allows hot swap by disconnecting one side of an intermediate stacked module, connecting a replacement module on the powered disconnected adjacent side, moving the connections from the old to the new module, disconnecting the power plugs from the old module and attaching it to the new module to again complete the double ended bus bar circuit. When dealing with arrays the number of plug interconnects equals the rotational stacking positions possible, as shown in exemplary fashion with three possible plug alignments, matching top and bottom, in the six sided asteroidal enclosure drawings minimum of three such plugs are utilized. In standard configuration one plug set acts as the bus bar, the other two are pass throughs, rotation, by example 120° for a hexagon, which dictates which will be active for a particular stack. This is done so that adjacent modules in planar arrays may have hot swap and not be on the same leg, allowing system information and/or process rerouting, should power go down in a particular leg. 
     8. The preferred embodiment employs interconnects which enjoy some form of quick-disconnect at either end and are limited in travel to between one and two modules in length to help expedite re-configuration, service modification and replacement, pending component selection. Other systems are more hard-wired and are therefore harder to take apart, update, refurbish, replace or repair. [Ref. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,501,460, 6,469,901]. 
     9. The invention provides that modules are positioned and moved either manually and/or by automation. Manual motion utilizes cable grippers™ [or functional equivalent], actuator plate, actuator rod, optional actuator tube and connected actuating handle with optional locking release. This is used for individual modules, stacks and/or in nested co- and multi-planar arrays with integrated variants incorporating track and roller systems and/or [stepping] motor driven cog and track systems to constrain or otherwise control motion. Stack and arrays may be horizontal, vertical or any angle in between, held together by frames, hangers, hooks, etc. All combinations as stated are envisioned with or without nesting. No other patent appears to have this capability. [Ref. U.S. Pat. No. 4,501,460]. 
     10. The invention allows single and multi-interconnection sidewall facet based interconnection in either co- or multi-planar geometries or through vertical end cap basket and cover sets or interface with or without utilizing intake and exhaust master plenums or any combination thereof as preferred methods of command and control. Command and control is wired internally from any point of the module wired to the sidewall of choice, and then externally with or without internally and/or externally mounted retractor(s) through the external patch panel on the chosen wall to the module of choice either above and below or adjacent to the co- or multi-planar module in question. The external wire guides above and below the patch panels are used to position and constrain wires to their proper motion. Other patents espouse vertical stack based command and control interconnection only based on individual vertical inter-module wiring with a singular modular interconnect. 
     11. The invention employs a three, four, six, eight sided astroidal and/or approximated tessellation and/or tiling enclosure with/or without truncated convex or concave apexes and scalloped transitions between individual horizontal curves connecting apices for wire guides, although straight lines may also be used or any combination thereof. Rounded surfaces are preferred to avoid snagging or other binding, although straight lines may also be embraced. However, external enclosure geometries of similar patents are apparently without exception, based on straight lines, some and/or convexly formed curves with no concavely formed features. [Ref. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,495,134, 4,937,659, 6,469,901]. 
     12. Although many patents refer to thermal management as part of their embodiment in many instances it is not addressed at all. The gold standard appears to be the placement of louvers in the walls of a shoebox or cubic cavity. The invention utilizes radially symmetrical outlying cooling tube housing assemblies tangentially asymptotic to their respective intersecting sidewalls of the individual apex centers which are truncated and rounded so as to be conformal to said housings, with associated extensible coolant duct hosing, quick disconnects, plenums and plugs for intake and exhaust as well as a central optional cooling duct [Dwg.  22 ]. Cooling tubes are optionally fitted with a non-rotating [Dwg.  25 C] or rotating sleeve [Dwg.  25 F], with a coolant input ports [Dwg.  25 G] and angled output slats [Dwg.  25 D], louvers [Dwg.  25 E], and/or mesh which allows volumetric and directional tuning of coolant output to common multi-module contiguous apex exhaust stacks. A centralized high velocity cooling stack may operate separately or in conjunction with the former [Dwg  39 ]. Utilizing this arrangement provides rapid swap out or service of components while minimizing or eliminating the necessity of thermal management disruption in a potentially sealed and therefore explosion proof system with the possibility of above atmospheric operating pressures. Separately, by removing the top and bottom plenums, with their integrated interconnect feed throughs, this exposes end cap wiring basket fan mounts and fan shields for direct main cavity coolant intake and/or exhaust with or without optionally closing off the coolant tube housing assemblies for mechanical aspiration at flow rates comparable to some carburetors, while maintaining main cavity cage retention and peripheral ducting. Cases used or contemplated for use in arrays include a heat barrier on or in all walls so as to direct heat in the designed flow pattern. Flow patterns may be reversed or any other flow pattern combination may be utilized as required. No alternate patented and/or made competitive products appear to exhibit this features. [Ref. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,501,460, 4,937,659, 4,499,607]. 
     13. The invention utilizes standard industrial cartridges, including floppy disks, hard disks, CD/DVD/Blue Ray/tape drives and removable cartridges generally available through industry-standard catalogs and other sources. Cartridges may not extend beyond opposing bezel walls, with the exception of handle pulls, which must fold out of the way and must be flush and not external, so as to avoid interfering with the sliding fit of other modules. This embodiment shall be considered open source in regard to cartridges to include memory storage devices such as floppy drives, hard drives, CD-ROMs, DVD drives, tape drives, USB devices, fire wire, PCMCIA devices, and attendant previously patented standardized socketed enclosures utilized in industry. Alternate patented and/or made competitive products utilize non-standard cartridges on which they base much of their patents, in regard to industry standard components. Unlike other patents the module is in this regard open source. [Ref. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,937,659, 6,469,901]. 
     14. Standard industry practice utilizes cutouts, flush bezels in case panels and rails for mounting devices in bays. The invention utilizes covered and protected and/or recessed bezels with or without mounting plates and PC boards attached to the chassis, to embrace custom and/or standard industry catalog or special order devices with available published or unpublished mounting patterns to maintain a sliding fit in relation to the form factors referenced herein. [Ref. U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,659]. 
     15. The invention&#39;s chassis when unpopulated or provided mountings do not cross multiple cage side-walls, may be made to layout flat for work, when the top and bottom pins are disconnected in one corner. The chassis is a three, four, five, six, or eight sided wire form assembled from square or rectangular hinged wire frames with configurable break-off tangs limiting inward folding to 120°, 90°, 72°, 60° or 45°, respectively and may act as the system bus-bar ground. Configuration and adaptation of card cages and rails for mounting industry-standard, [including current or future industry requests for comment RFCs to final specifications] or proprietary motherboards and PC boards [including current or future industry requests for comment, “RFCs” to final specifications] shall be considered open source and obvious regarding the mechanical interfaces of same. In this regard, the type 1 enclosure was designed to handle ATX style PC boards, while the type 2 enclosure was designed to handle one or more smaller PC boards, either peripherally, that is radially disposed including by each wall, stacked, and/or any combination thereof. Nor other patent has this arrangement, allowing the potential for easy chassis extraction for work with or without an enclosure, pending final component selection. Other patents, which utilize connector/receptacles as the chassis, under this system, although a connector receptacle may be grounded to the chassis, it is not considered part of the chassis itself [Ref. U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,659].

     DESCRIPTION 
     The patent employs a unique geometry, utilizing four standard configurations 
     [Type 1: Dwg.  1 , Type 2: Dwg.  15  Type 3: Same as Type 2 with actuator from Dwg.  30  as installed in  FIG. 31B  and will otherwise be considered as minor variant of Type 2 hereinafter] with attendant support accessories. A nominal fourth type supplies variants for each of types 1 through 3 by utilizing a large central orifice, as shown in  FIG. 16 , in the top and bottom end caps with appropriately sized fan mountings and optional fans for axial cooling, thus obviating the conventional plenums used in the standard type 1 through 3 modules, All enclosure types include provisions for optional cable assemblies and cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent(s)] [Type 1: Dwg.  3 , Type 2: Dwg.  21 ] for vertical/horizontal positioning in their respective multi-module stacks. All types employ a handle connected to a plunger mounted in a plunger guide tube with associated bulkhead mounting hardware [Type 1: Dwg.  4 , Type 2: Dwg.  23 ]. On the business end of the plunger is a cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] actuator plate with sloped self-centering seats for the cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] [Type 1: Dwg.  4  FIG. A, Type 2: Dwg.  23  FIG. A]. Return/centering springs for the plunger as necessary and plate retention nuts and/or a cotter pin keep the plate on the plunger. The two configurations are referred to hereinafter as types as follows: 
     Type 1 [Dwg.  1 ], Top handle, bottom of enclosure actuated cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] assembly, with a central actuator rod through the main enclosure assembly and cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] seated peripherally, centered tangentially between every other astroidal curve in the lower plenum, and threaded with cables terminated at either end with clevises and matching clevis pins or other equivalent catalog quick disconnect hardware [Dwg.  4 ]. Cable guide tubes [Dwg.  8  part  12 ] run the length  FIG. 8B  width of part  36 . of the bezeled [Type 1:  FIG. 8A  part  12 ] and/or non-bezeled enclosure,  FIG. 18B  width of part  36 , main cavity outer hull [Dwg.  18 A part  12 ] nesting between the normally bottom intake plenum [Dwg.  5 ] and normally top exhaust plenum [Type 1: Dwg.  10 ]. The guide tubes accommodate the width of this quick disconnect hardware their full length, without snagging. Cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] in this type are placed in the bottom plenum. The Type 1 design is for PC boards and other assemblies smaller than the ATX form factor, although scaling is possible. 
     Type 2 [Dwg.  15 ], Top handle, top of enclosure actuated [ FIG. 15C ] cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] assembly [Dwg.  21 ] with central actuator assembly [Dwg.  23  FIG. C] seated in the top end cap, extending into the main chamber where the plunger actuator plate resides. Material choices include reinforced wire, fiberglass, carbon composite, etc. for strength and wide screen mesh as necessary for airflow. The cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] are seated peripherally, in the exhaust plenum to the right of each duct at 120 degrees [example of hexagonal, one configuration] one to the other, centered almost tangentially to the nearest outer wall between the cooling tube housings seated behind each chamfered astroidal apex of the outer hull in the upper plenum [Dwg.  20 ] and threaded with cables terminated at either end with clevises and matching clevis pins or equivalent quick disconnect hardware [Dwg.  21 ]. Three cable guide tubes [Dwg.  25 ] [hexagonal example] run the length of the non-bezeled enclosure central cavity [ FIG. 18A  part  12  for the width of  FIG. 18B ] between the bottom intake plenum [Dwg. 17 ] and top exhaust plenum [Dwg.  20 ] up to the actuator plate on the bottom side and down to the top cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] seats. These tubes accommodate the width of this quick disconnect hardware for their full length without snagging. This design is for ATX PC boards or larger assemblies, requiring a larger open cavity, however, again the design is scalable. All types, top, bottom and main cavity cable gripper assemblies include an actuator plate, plunger, and handle assembly with optional twist handle lock and release, tensioning springs, cable guide tubes. 
     Each type includes the following key features as follows: 
     1. A dumb bell shape described by standard Cartesian coordinates presented in a singular plane [Type 1: Dwg. 1 , Type 2: Dwg.  15 ]. 
     2. In standard operating mode, the dumb-bell is stood on end. This is done as the unit is based on heat flow and heat rises, however the unit may be inverted or laid on its side for good reason, pending operational environment or customer request. Examples include a torpedo or a missile. 
     3. The top of the unit is identified by a handle, centered and recessed into the top end cap [Type 1 enclosure:  FIGS. 1A  &amp; B, Type 2 enclosure:  FIGS. 15A  &amp; B], allowing easy determination of the top of the unit. 
     4. A Z-axis cross-sectional plane intersecting the dumbbell&#39;s x-y plane at 90 degrees scribes a six-sided asteroid with rounded convex apices. Alternative embodiments for triangles squares and octagons are possible [Dwgs.  1 D,  1 F,  1 G and  11 ]. Alternate symbolic geometric configurations are possible [Dwgs.  1 E and  1 I]. 
     5. Twin equal length and radius external concave scallops, frame the top and bottom of the bezeled and/or non-bezeled main cavity&#39;s external faces, beginning at the abutting main cavity/plenum(s) interface(s) and extending the full height of the external faces off the wider dumbbell protrusions at both ends of the module [Type 1: Bottom Dwgs.  2 ,  5 ; Top Dwgs.  10 ,  11 ; Type 2: Bottom Dwgs.  16 ,  17 ; Top Dwgs.  20 ,  22 ]. 
     6. The outer six chamfered apices of the dumbbell are referred to as uprights. There is one upright for each apice of a geometrical figure. These uprights are conformal to the coolant tube hose housings, which make up the outer hull vertical faces in sequentially stacked fashion with appropriate mechanical or chemical seals. Coolant hose tube housings run the full length of the assembly, comprised sequentially, of those components which make out the outer hull vertical faces, in stacked fashion as apparent in all hull segments contributing to the making up of the fore-mentioned housings and the attendant conjoined module outer hull walls as shown in [Type 1: Dwgs.  1 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 ,  8 ,  9 , 10  and  11 , Type 2: Dwgs.  15 ,  16 ,  17 ,  18 ,  19 ,  20 , and  22 ]. As illustrated, these outer hulls, show the relative recesses, of those sidewall hull segments which may or may not be bezeled and/or otherwise recessed to form the smooth transitions to the dual inter-external corner scallops, mentioned above, which make up the external inter-module wiring guides in relation to the dumbbell ends. 
     7. In the preferred embodiment, six (6) such cooling tube assemblies per module are possible whereby three cooling tubes are utilized for cooling media input and three for exhaust respectively. If the number of apices should be odd, the center cavity may be used for coolant input or exhaust while peripheral cooling tubes are engaged to balance coolant flow is required [Dwg.  25 ] or standard cooling tube hose arrangement. In an alternate preferred embodiment, within each module, cooling tube housing plenum interface orifices attach to bottom intake plenums and top exhaust plenums every 60 degrees alternately. [Type 1: Bottom  FIG. 5B  part  32 , Top  FIG. 10B  part  32 ]; Type 2: Bottom  FIG. 17B  part  32 ,  FIG. 20B  part  32 ]. 
     8. For smaller and/or larger installations, glue, chemical coatings and/or mechanical fasteners, o-rings, seals, banding and/or tape, extending fully around segmented model subassemblies to perfect the necessary seals, as stampings, weldings and/or castings, in combined and/or further divided subassemblies. Any other standard mechanical means or combination thereof as used in industry to perfect a seal pending the permanency required for cooling tube assemblies on modules on the periphery of an array are within the scope and spirit of alternate embodiments envisioned here. [Type 1 enclosure: Dwg.  1  Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 15 ]9. Built in to the bottom and top connector bay cover end cap coolant hose tube housings are mating quarter turn twist lock quick disconnect seals or similar functioning hardware [Type 1: Bottom Dwg.  2 A part  2 , Top Dwg.  11  part  2 ; Type 2: Bottom Dwg.  16  part  2 , Top Dwg.  22  part  2 ]. An obvious variant would be to place said twist lock seal adjacent to the respective plenum orifices pending economic order quantity and resultant preferred molding segmentation. The preferred embodiment, places the twist lock seats in the respective intake or exhaust plenums above and below the inter-plenum/cooling tube housing assembly port. Therefore it is assumed that pursuant to Dwgs.  1  and  15  all possible segmentation molding combinations are inherent in the design as preferred embodiments. 
     10. The collapsible hose employs an internal automatic retracting spring to assist maintaining retracted and expanded overall hose length, as well as actual internal and external working dimensions, and hence hose to tube housing sidewall clearance. The spring in the hose is shown in the drawings as the collapsible hose line edge. The retracting coolant hose is terminated at both ends by a tapered collar with quarter turn twist lock matched to the seal seats of the coolant hose tube housing. The tapered collars are internally threaded to match the coolant hose, with room for sealant. [Ref. Type 1: Dwg.  14 A and Type 2: Dwg.  26 A]. Petcocks [Type 1:  FIG. 14B , Type 2:  26 B] and elbows [Type 1:  FIG. 14C , Type 2:  26 C] are used in conjunction with the hoses as described to place and direct coolant as required. 
     11. The cooling tube&#39;s hose collars. [Type I: Dwg.  14  part  54  and Type 2: Dwg.  26  part  54 ] fit within the cooling tube housing subassemblies side-walls seating in matching female seats [Type I: Bottom Dwg.  2  part  2 , Top Dwg.  11  part  2 ; Type 2: Bottom Dwg.  16  part  2 , Top Dwg.  22  part  2 ]. 
     12. All components comprising the vertical uprights are expected to interface vertically with the cooling tube segments and must be able to properly mate to these male and female surfaces respectively. Accordingly tabs and seats appear as features  30  and  31  on either side of the cooling tube housings, in side views for plenum orifices, and in top views for other components. [Type I Dwgs. Top View:  1 ,  2 ,  5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8   9 ,  10 ,  11  and Side View Dwgs.  5 B,  6 B; Type 2 Dwgs. Top View:  15 ,  16 ,  17 ,  18 , 19 ,  20 ,  22  and Side View Dwgs.  17 B,  20 B] This is universal to both Type 1 and Type 2 enclosure module segments On either side of the cooling tube housings. 
     13. Per Dwg.  25 , optionally, cooling tube assemblies may be sleeved with a rotating tubes with intake orifices on one side and cut louvers on the other for use with cooling chimneys and air sources as seen in Dwg.  39 , where the missing modules in the arrays are the sources or chimneys for intake and/or exhaust as required with changeable airflow and angle. 
     14. Centered on the forementioned tabs and seats labeled  30  and  31  above, integral to the uprights, are holes, hereinafter stanchion guides, which are found in vertical alignment through every vertical component making up the uprights of the enclosure bulkhead. Through these we place stiff rods hereinafter called stanchions [Type 1 Dwg.  12 ; Type 2, Dwg.  24 ] threaded on one end with a matching bolt and a crimp on hex-head on the opposite end. These stanchions hold the uprights and hence the enclosure bulkheads together as opposed to glue or when full disassembly as required. 
     15. The heart of the system is the central cavity, defined by outlying uprights with external symmetrical grooves, which in pairs form keyways to vertically frame and hence laterally position abutting bezels and pc board(s) or other backing [Type 1: Dwgs  7  and  8 ] or connection points for molded surfaces [Type 2: Dwg.  18 ]. Type 2 is affixed to the back of the bulkhead walls between the uprights. [Type 1:  FIG. 8C  and D and pc bd. to [Type 1:  FIGS. 8E-F .; Type: 2  FIGS. 18E-F ] Uprights are used in pairs as frames for bezels as a preferred embodiment of the enclosure main cavity bulkhead for the internal hexagonal wire ground chassis referenced below as a standard mounting platform for interconnecting devices of similar or dissimilar nature [Type 1 enclosure,  7 A-E,  8 A-B and  9 A-G]. However non-standard mounting may always be used. For this reason, the sidewalls of the main cavity may be molded as a singular piece with no bezels [Type 2 enclosure,  FIG. 18 ] as a second preferred embodiment. Obviously, bezel vs. non-bezel configurations are not mutually exclusive and combinations thereof are normal practice. 
     16. Bezels are used to mount interfaces for many types of device including process control, instrumentation, routing and computing. Technologies include but are not limited to manufacturing techniques, such as: analog (examples include hydraulic, pneumatic and relay systems), digital (examples include CMOS, TTL, ECL, GAs and fiber optic), quantum and or any other technologies either known, contemplated, to be contemplated or to be developed in the future. This is possible, as manufacturers have to use hardware template mounting patterns including screws, bolts or other hardware, chemicals, glues, sealants or magnetics to accomplish mounting. Therefore by employing bezels, the device to be mounted is independent of the structure contemplated here, of course with the exception of the bezel itself and any associated mounting plates. Further, bezels may be standardized by size, types of connection, purpose, load, etc. thus making this design universal by virtue of technology independence. Multiple styles of interconnect may be employed in a single bezel. This may include cut outs, recesses, retractors or cavities for built in cable, wire, pneumatic, fluid, cooling or other interconnect devices, etc. [Type 1 Dwg.  7 ] with or without matching keys and keyways. 
     17. Each radially disposed upright has an inward facing symmetrical depression facing the geometric center of the inner cavity tangential to the external facing coolant hose tube housings, which acts as the carrier for a triangular, rectangular or hexagonal card cage chassis. [Type 1: Dwg.  8 ; Type 2: Dwg.  18 ]. Stampings may be used as necessary for consolidated standardized cage forms. 
     18. In its simplest embodiment the card cage is made up of a number of independent wire rectangles, six is shown in the example here [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9A-G  and K, Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19A-G  and K]. Other embodiments use the independent wire rectangle segments connected so as to form oblong triangular prismatic frames [Type 1:  FIG. 9I , Type 2:  FIG. 19I ], oblong box shapes, [Type 1:  FIG. 9J , Type 2:  FIG. 19J ], a single plane across the maximum box cavity width from carrier recess to carrier recess [Type 1:  FIG. 9H , Type 2:  FIG. 19H ] or multiple frames may be utilized as two separate frames with or without chassis to create a V shape between corresponding hexagonal apices of the card carrier. 
     19. Each rectangle has a triangular gusset in each corner. Each gusset has a mounting hole for pc boards, stand offs, rails, straps [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9C , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19C ] or other pre-existent mounting hardware. At the ends of one long side of each rectangle are circular pins [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9C  part  38 , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19C  part  38 ]. As shown, these pins are sufficient length to provide a non-interference fit for the type 2 actuator plate. On the ends of the opposite long side of each rectangle are the receiving mating surfaces for said pins [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9C  part  39 , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19C  part  39 ] and a tab limiting the inward travel of the hinge to 45°, 60°, 90°, 120° and other angles as required. [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9B  part  37 , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19B  part  37 ]. Rectangular segments conjoined by said hinge form the requisite shapes when properly assembled. 
     20. When withdrawn from the main cavity and one apex has it&#39;s hinge disconnected, provided no hardware has been mounted across multiple rectangular segments—the cage may be opened up flat for work. 
     21. Further a slider bracket [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9E , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19E ] is displayed for mounting odd length devices, rails or pc boards with twin channels [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9D  part  41 , Type 2 enclosure:  19 D part  41 ] and setscrews [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9E  part  42 , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19E  part  42 ] for mounting more rectangles simultaneously. Triangular gussets are used in the corners to support the channels with mounting holes. A chassis backing plate/tray/pc board [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9F-G , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19F-G ] is used to upgrade support and otherwise strengthen chassis pc board and other component mounting systems. [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 9H , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 22H ]. Catalog standard catalog hardware standoffs including pineapple, bayonet style or other standoffs are used to level the fastening surface alignment of pc boards or other devices, which need to be mounted across multiple non-planar card cage/chassis mounting surfaces [Type 1:  FIG. 9F-G  part  45 , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 19F-G  part  45 ] to [Type 1:  FIGS. 9C-E , Type 2:  FIGS. 19C-E ]. 
     22. The overall broader width end cross-sections correspond to the dumb-bell ends. Dumb-bell ends are, proceeding outwardly from the main chamber both up and down, comprised in order, plenums with their associated ducts [Type 1: Bottom Dwg.  5 , Top Dwg.  10 ; Type 2: Bottom Dwg.  17 , Top Dwg.  20 ] and end caps [Type 1: Bottom Dwg.  2 , Top Dwg.  11 ; Type 2: Bottom Dwg.  16 , Top Dwg.  22 ]. They connect to uprights and their associated cooling tube segments. As indicated earlier, as heat rises, ordered dumbbell components below the main cavity are normally for coolant intake and those above, are for coolant exhaust. 
     23. Each plenum has three conduits/ducts, hereinafter ducts, radially disposed horizontally at 120 degrees. [Type 1 enclosure:  FIGS. 5A and 11A , Type 2 enclosure:  FIGS. 18A and 24A ]. If sleeved these correspond to external intake and exhaust stacks. [Dwg.  25 ,  39 ]. 
     24. From a top view, intake and exhaust plenums and their associated duct sets are offset, one to the other, at 60 degrees, making alternate cooling tubes, intake and exhaust respectively. [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 1A , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 16A ] 
     25. Each plenum duct translates minimally 90 degrees from the main enclosure chamber axis to the uprights and cooling tubes [Type 1 enclosure:  FIGS. 5B and 11B , Type 2 enclosure:  FIGS. 18B and 24B ], top and bottom, each, respectively. 
     26. Said plenum ducts, although normally uniform to each other may vary in height and width, due to space requirements vs. area heat loads and boundary-layer laminar surface flow resistance. The former is handled by raising thermal transfer effectiveness by increasing heat transfer surface area, cooling media conductivity and hence capacity (heat pipes, Peltier devices, etc.) and flow as necessary. Reducing sharp duct angles (above 90 degrees) and otherwise smoothing the duct surface handle the later. Both are subject to the obvious tailoring of flow patterns (baffles, louvers, etc.) and may require more space, which translates into increased height or width of the duct-work and the corresponding enclosure dimensions. All of which are considered obvious alternatives. 
     27. Each plenum opens axially to the main enclosure internal cavity through the fan mounts and exhaust is connected to the cooling tube housings through their respective plenum duct orifice interfaces. [Type 1: Bottom  FIG. 5B  part  32 , Top  FIG. 10B  part  32 ]; Type 2: Bottom  FIG. 17B  part  32 ,  FIG. 20B  part  32 ]. 
     28. Fans are screwed in place on main cavity plenum duct interface orifices using feature  29  as illustrated, four per orifice as follows: [Type 1: Bottom Dwg.  5 , part  29 , Top Dwg.  10 , part  29 ; Type 2: Bottom Dwg.  17 , part  29 , Top Dwg.  20 , part  29 ]. Each plenum may accommodate up to three fans, pending redundancy and vibration requirements, as such various capacity fans/pumps are interchangeable and individual ducts may obviously be sealed. The embodiments of the drawings, as presented are symbolic of the greater diversity of fans and mounting systems, which may be employed, and thus covered by this document. Fan vibration is limited by utilizing fan mounts, comprising neoprene pads, coating(s) or other vibration reducing material(s), brackets or proprietary technologies as necessary. Fan duct seals may be further perfected utilizing post and cotter pin arrangements, clips, spacers, other hardware and chemicals including adhesives. These are obvious alternative embodiments within the scope of this document. 
     29. When a cooling tube housing plenum duct is not utilized, blank plugs may be placed in a fan seat to block the inter-plenum orifice and thus perfect the cooling tube assembly seal [Type 1: Dwgs  5  and  10  Figs. D-F; Type 2: Dwgs  17  and  20  Figs. D-F]. 
     30. Alternate embodiments involve modification or removal of plenums or removal of either the top or bottom plenums. 
     31. Full plenum removal utilizes the main chamber as both intake and/exhaust ports and may or may not be used in combination with the peripheral cooling tube assemblies. In this instance the end cap bezel mounts in the interior horizontal floor in standard position, of the Connector Bay End Cap and Connector Bay Top Cover End Cap, whose bulkhead adjoining the main cavity is shown optionally for this purpose as including a fan grill of reinforced structural wide mesh screen to allow airflow and rigidity of the assembly and fan mounting holes [ FIGS. 16 and 22  part  29  each] for a single through cavity fan [ FIG. 16 ]. This variant may be used on both top [ FIG. 16I-J ] and bottom end caps [ FIG. 20  I-J] optionally whereby fans are mounted within the main cavity with adequate allowance made for standing off the card cage. A second fan grille as described in one or both of  FIGS. 16I-K  and  22 I-K may be employed to protect debris from falling into the fan from the card cage of the main cavity and the end cap basket and basket cover, thus sandwiching the singular fans and thus is a obvious alternate embodiment. 
     32. In instances where cooling is provided by combinations of gases and fluid or just fluids, plenums and/or just end caps respectively may be retained, whereby screws, clips, spacers or other hardware are used with straps, heat shrink tubing, cable ties, feed-throughs, grommets, strain reliefs and other hardware to positively locate tubing, piping and/or hose within the enclosure.
         1. If convection is a viable cooling alternative, then a higher slope ducted plenum with no fans is the preferred embodiment.   2. Other alternative cooling solutions are found in  FIG. 48A-D , Table 1.   3. When dealing with multiple modules, all modules placed in vertical alignment, with interconnecting cooling tube assemblies and their associated cooling tubes are referred to as a stack. In the preferred embodiment, all cooling tube housings on a particular cooling tube stack apex are exclusively either intake or exhaust. Accordingly, opposing dumb bell ends&#39; apices form exclusively either entry and exit orifices [Type 1: Dwg.  5  part  32 , Dwg.  10 , part  32 ; Type 2: Dwg.  17  part  32 , Dwg.  20 , part  32 ] to the plenum for same air/gas/fluid duct/conduit, referred to hereinafter as a duct.       

     33. The plenums&#39; outer horizontal faces are covered with end caps. The end caps have side walls creating an enclosed space sufficient to allow for retractors, coiling and routing of wires, cables, power cables, fluid, gas and air hoses, etc. The top end cap [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 11 , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 22 ] thus acts as a basket to this purpose. The end caps are not quite equal in size, allowing a bottom end cap [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 2 , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 16 ] to be slid over a top end cap or base. Accordingly, the base of the top end cap jogs in slightly, and then maintains the same internal and external side dimensions as that of the mating surface, toleranced to allow a positive slip fit of the bottom dumb-bell end cap over the top dumb-bell end cap for stacking and placement on the respective mounting with the following exception. There should be slight matching taper angle between these components pending manufacturing material and technique, specifically for positive sealing and seating, which is part of the preferred embodiment. In any case actual external physical dimensions are maintained up to the topmost basket. 
     34. Knock outs, cut outs, blank and/or special-purpose bezels [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 2A-H  and  FIG. 11A-H , Type 2 enclosure:  FIGS. 16A-H  AND  22 A-H] and/or feed through holes with or without plugs are placed in the blank dumb bell end caps, when viewed from above, between bezels, bulkheads and ducts in the recesses on the topside of the blank dumb bell ends. This allows routing power, communication, control and administrative interface connections in standard and non-standard ways. Plugs are used to seal these holes if they are no longer needed [Type 1: Dwg.  2  part  1 : Type 2 Dwg.  16 , part  1 ]. 
     35. Power is daisy chained from module to module and may be supplied by either end or both ends as shown in  FIG. 13A-F , from the same power supply with a daisy chained double ended feed bus bar. Each rectangle as show represents a load and/or load and power supply with one or more main feeds. Power to stacked modules is rotated between separate feeds to extend stacking at lower power supply wattages than would be otherwise possible [ FIGS. 13B-F . This is why all end caps have multiple quick disconnect power supply flats. This allows adjacent modules vertically, horizontally or obliquely above, below or to the sides to be on separate power supplies, with pass thru again aiding in battle hardening. As indicated elsewhere the double ended supply to a module allows for moving over wiring using disconnects by powering up a new replacement module while maintaining power to the old module coming off line. 
     36. Blank bezels are used with or without knockouts or inserts to cover unused area. [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 2C-E  and  FIG. 11  C-E, Type 2 enclosure:  FIGS. 16C-E  AND  22 C-E] 
     37. A pictorial example is given in the attendant patent drawings showing the top [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 11F-H  and Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 22F-H ] and bottom [Type 1 enclosure:  FIG. 2F-H , Type 2 enclosure:  FIG. 16F-H ] base end cap surfaces of the dumb-bell to include three (3) bezels designed with mounting surfaces for three (3), one each, American style power plugs, and two (2) twin channel RJ-45 Ethernet sockets each of which may be customized to include power, communication, control or administrative interfaces. 
     38. The general geometry is scalable and the relative width of the dumb bell ends to the narrower center section may be varied, while maintaining the general dumb bell aspect, thus allowing more or less surface area for bezels in and on the dumb bell end caps or narrower center section sidewalls connecting the two broader dumbbell end caps. The simple example of this would be to vary the length of the stanchions, stanchion guides and cooling tube housing uprights. In similar related fashion the plenums and/or end caps lengths may also be varied. 
     39. Seals may be upgraded to be hermetic, degassed and/or explosion-proof pending usage. 
     39. The explosion-proof option is partially realized by employing o-gaskets in the inner corner base mating surface of the outer hull and the outer mating surface of the inner hull with optional grooves around the outer literal end or peripherally between the top and bottom tapered slip fit double walls, thus allowing for above atmospheric pressurization of machinery in the enclosure. 
     40. Standard pressure sensors, shutdown switches for over atmospheric pressure are employed per client needs. 
     41. If required, potting material such as silicon or other material, impregnated as necessary, for proper thermal, EMF, pressurizing for explosion proofing or other characteristics are employed across one or more bezel, ducts, duct orifices, dumb bells and/or their ends, plenums, end caps, or other full or subassemblies. 
     42. In the preferred embodiment, stacked modules&#39; top/exhaust and bottom/intake pipes connect to the master exhaust plenums utilizing the same tube assemblies as used between modules. 
     43. Industry standard shop vacuum or other standard tube, hose, pipe and/or connectors are used between master/intake plenums and master exhaust plenums in their connections to the cooling media sourcing and recycling. Further, this example is replicated throughout the whole cooling media system with or without cooling media recycling, intake and exhaust master plenums or any other plenum, sump, condenser or some other form of HVAC, pending cooling medium external to the stacks themselves, that is not including the modules themselves. Reference  FIG. 48A-D , Table 1 for further cooling options. 
     44. In the preferred embodiment, the master intake [Dwg.  28 ] and exhaust [Dwg.  31 ] plenums both employ three (3) individual wide mesh duct legs with screened or unscreened top exhaust and bottom intake ducts in their respective sub-assemblies. In the standard vertical configuration bulkhead feed-throughs, etc. are deployed in areas between these duct legs. The area between the ducts allows for pass through wiring, cabling, plumbing, and other non-gaseous connections, etc. with the standard basket/cover, retractors, bezels, etc. as shown for end caps and as otherwise necessary [Reference  FIG. 48A-D , Table 1] in identical fashion as plenums and end caps. This configuration allows axial airflow without individual module top and/or bottom plenums as separate from the master plenums. 
     45. In the preferred embodiment, bottom intake [Dwg.  28 ] and top exhaust [Dwg.  31 ] master plenums utilize three (3) cable hanger assemblies [Dwg.  27 ] for inter-module top and bottom location by mating cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] assemblies [Type 1: Dwg.  3 ; Type 2 Dwg.  21 ] vertical hanging. 
     46. The single base module [Dwg.  28 ] does not have a handle, which is required on the Single Exhaust Plenum Cap [Dwg.  31 ] which uses exhaust plenum cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] gondola/canisters [Dwg.  29 ] in conjunct with a cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] actuator [Dwg.  30 ] to allow motion along the cables&#39; axis. This cable actuator allows the handle to be twisted to release the cable gripper™ [or functional equivalent] until the handle is twisted back into it&#39;s unlocked position [parts  76 - 77 ]. This is incorporated by reference into the other modules as an option. 
     47. The outside enclosure hull allows for an inter-module sliding fit tolerance on the astroidal apexes and sides with or without pc board or other backing with sufficient allowance for external inter-module wiring, ducting and/or plumbing and the attendant internal retractors, again with a sliding fit. 
     48. Horizontal hanging is accomplished by utilizing a module hanger [Dwg.  32 ] which seats into the end caps [Type 1: Bottom Dwg.  2 , Top Dwg.  11 ; Type 2: Bottom Dwg.  16 , Top Dwg.  22 ]. Unneeded tabs may be broken off at shear points resulting in the unit as shown in  FIG. 32C   
     49. Modules may be hung using module hangers in conjunct with double ended hooks [Dwg.  33 ]. 
     50. Modules are suspended utilizing track systems such as the track and roller [Dwg.  34 A] or rack with internally wound cog motor [Dwg.  34 B]. 
     51. Module vertical hanging may be accomplished using module hanger and a track and roller or rack and internally wound cog motor [Drawing  35 ]. 
     52. Single modules may be suspended in a frame by hanger and track and roller system [Dwg.  36 ]. 
     53. Multiple modules may be suspended in a frame by hanger and track and roller system [Dwg.  37 ]. 
     54. Modules are interlocked with hangers and geometrically nested,  1 ,  6 ,  12 ,  18  with or without module hangers vertically or horizontally or some angle in between, pending the length of the run [Dwg.  38 ]. 
     55. Interlocking sextet module arrays may be utilized to form larger arrays with shared conjoining modules [Dwg.  39 ]. 
     56. Horizontal or vertical hydraulic lift systems may be utilized for single and multiple module motion [Dwg.  40 ]. 
     57. Top end cap covers may be utilized to hide exposed wiring, handles and plenum exhausts, giving a more finished look for a non-suspended stack [Dwg.  41 ]. 
     58. Top end cap covers may be optionally upholstered [Dwg.  42 ]. 
     59. Modules may enjoy protective side covers [Dwg.  43 ]. Such side covers are positioned and retained utilizing a clip attaching to the module cable guides [Dwg.  44 ]. Such side covers may also be used as cat walks. 
     60. Catwalks may employ a bridge like structure across multiple modules, to spread bearing loads [Dwg.  45 ]. Unit is shown in a 12 module chamber/corridor. 
     61. Catwalks may employ a bridge like structure across five or more modules to create a wall, and/or to spread bearing loads [Dwg.  46 ]. Unit is shown in a 18 module chamber/corridor. 
     62. General inter-module arrays may be deployed in horizontal or vertical arrays with or without a hollow inner channel/corridor [ FIGS. 47A-C ]. Ferris wheel carousels whereby modules are held horizontally between end wheels or suspended vertically from central support are embodied herein [ FIGS. 47D-E ]. Torus arrays as may be used in spacecraft and other facilities are also included herein [Dwg.  47 F]. 
     63. All functional mobile array forms may be populated by module arrays of any planar single or multi-module thickness [examples:  FIGS. 47K-L ] either hanging from a singular support structure or totally framed either by a casement or a space frame represented symbolically as shown. 
     64. Suspension systems include singular or multiple module arrays so arranged in stacks or planes as populated in examples  47 K-L to track in such a way as to create an horizontal [ FIGS. 47I-J ] or vertical [ FIGS. 47K-L ] interstitial cavity as a work space with an access hatch [parts  103  and  101  respectively] and floor [parts  102  and  100  respectively] between the modules. Modules and/or module arrays flow apart as they approach the work area and are stopped for work access and then flow back together as they exit the work space area. In this way a loop is created, module or array end to module or array end as shown symbolically in  FIG. 47F .  FIG. 47F  also symbolically represents stacks placed horizontally in a carousel. 
     65. The inner and/or outer surface is painted, impregnated or otherwise formed of FCC Class B or other RF retardant paint as required. 
     66. Similar material is used for potting as necessary. 
     67. Inner and outer surfaces are painted with thermally insulative and/or reflective paint as necessary to further channel heat through the primary heat removal system as necessary to avoid inter-module heat buildup between stacks and/or arrays.
