Disclosed is an improved probe housing mechanism that will allow for the quick release of a probe tip from a testing tool. The invention includes a probe housing, a double cantilevered beam for holding a probe tip, and a releasable spring mechanism for holding the beam into place. The spring mechanism can be released by squeezing the spring together or by releasing a non-removable locking screw, thereby allowing the beam to be slidably removed from the probe housing for easy replacement.

Embodiments of the present invention pertain to an apparatus for a shock absorber that allows a disk drive to move with respect to the chassis of a computer system. In one embodiment, the disk drive shock absorber includes an assembly joint and a flexure. The flexure is capable of being coupled to the assembly joint. The assembly joint is capable of being coupled to the flexure and the computer system's chassis. The shock absorber is created by coupling the flexure to the assembly joint. The shock absorber has a form that can be used to flexibly couple the disk drive's enclosure with the computer system's chassis without requiring an increase in size of the chassis.

Disclosed is an integrated active heat spreader and exchanger. The heat spreader cum exchanger includes a housing with a conductive heat spreader therein. A spreader plate of the heat spreader is in thermal contact with a microprocessor chip to be cooled and a plurality of spreader fins extending from the spreader plate. A membrane connects the heat spreader and the housing, sealing an interface between the heat spreader and the housing. A top plate, including a plurality of top plate fins, is disposed in the housing. A pump is located between the top plate fins and the spreader fins and urges fluid across the spreader fins and conducts heat from the spreader fins. The top plate fins conduct heat from the fluid and into a heat sink in thermal contact with the top plate. A heat sink plate conducts heat into heat sink fins where the heat is dissipated.
