  • Methods and devices for directional radiative cooling thermal compensation
    Patent number: 8480244
    Abstract: A radiative thermal compensation system is described. An imaging arrangement located in an optical path between a surface to be thermally compensated (e.g., cooled) and one or more thermal sinks. The imaging arrangement is oriented with respect to the surface and the sinks so that solid angles are defined, along which the sinks are imaged onto the surface and control heat flow from the surface.
