A fastener is provided for removably engaging and holding sections of material, such as a tarp, without piercing the material. One piece of the fastener is a base with one end providing a contact surface for a support structure, and the other forming a substantially elliptical flange. The second piece is a frame having an opening that substantially defines a first ellipse having a first orientation, and a second ellipse having a second orientation. The second elliptical opening is partially occluded at its opposite ends. A section of material to be engaged and held is placed over the elliptical flange. The second piece is oriented to align the first elliptical opening and the elliptical flange, and is inserted over the elliptical flange and section of material to be held. The second piece is then rotated to align the second elliptical opening and elliptical flange. In this position, the occlusions of the second elliptical opening and the ends of the elliptical flange prevent disengagement of the two pieces and hold the section of material therebetween without piercing it.

The method as in claim 1, wherein the step of stacking the second carrier and the first carrier comprises the step of using a connector for interconnecting an electrical contact pad on a portion of the surface of the second carrier and an electrical contact pad on a second portion of the surface of the first carrier. 7. The method as in claim 6, wherein the step of spatially displacing the second carrier from the first carrier comprises the step of using the connector to spatially displace the second carrier from the first carrier. 8. The method as in claim 1, further comprising the step of: spatially displacing a third carrier from the second carrier; mounting a heat generating device onto the second carrier, the heat generating device being spatially displaced from the second carrier for forming a third channel therewith and for further forming a fourth channel with the third carrier, the cooling fluid further passaging through the at least one of the third channel and the fourth channel; and substantially impeding the flow of the cooling fluid through at least one of the first and second channels. 9. The method as in claim 8, wherein the step of substantially impeding the flow of the cooling fluid comprises the step of substantially filling at least one of the first and second channels with an electrical non-conductive material. 10. The method as in claim 1, further comprising the step of coupling a heat dissipation enhancer to a portion of the surface of at least one of the heat-generating device, first and second carriers. 11. The method as in claim 10, wherein the step of coupling a heat dissipation enhancer comprises the step of unitarily fabricating the heat dissipation enhancer from materials used for fabricating the heat-generating device, first and second carriers. 12. A cooling assembly for fluid-based cooling of heat-generating devices, comprising: a first carrier; a heat-generating device mounted on a first portion of the surface of the first carrier; a first channel formed by spatially displacing the heat-generating device from the first portion of the surface of the first carrier; a second carrier, wherein the first and second carriers are stacked; a second channel formed by spatially displacing the second carrier from the first carrier, the second channel being the space between a portion of the surface of the heat-generating device and a portion of the surface of the second carrier; and an enclosure for enclosing at least a portion of the second carrier, the heat-generating device and at least a portion of the first carrier, whereby cooling fluid is introduced into the enclosure and into at least one of the first and second channels, the cooling fluid being substantially electrically non-conductive and being for extracting heat from and thereby cooling at least one of the heat-generating device and the at least the portions of the first and second carriers, wherein heat generating devices are mountable only on each of the portion of the surface of the first carrier and a portion of the surface of the second carrier, the portion of the surface of the first carrier being substantially parallel to and facing the same direction as the portion of the surface of the second carrier. 13. The cooling assembly as in claim 12, wherein the enclosure comprises an inlet for introducing the cooling fluid thereinto and an outlet for expelling the heated cooling fluid therefrom. 14. The cooling assembly as in claim 12, further comprising a connector, wherein the first connector interconnects an electrical contact pad on the heat-generating device and an electrical contact pad on the first portion of the surface of the first carrier. 15. The cooling assembly as in claim 12, further comprising a connector, wherein the second connector interconnects an electrical contact pad on a portion of the surface of the second carrier and an electrical contact pad on a sec
