Patent number: 10136563Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the thermal management and regulation of electronic equipment. Microfluidic channels are utilized to actively change the aerodynamics of a surface, which may allow for the ability to change a surface texture from flat to raised, or dimpled, or from open to closed. The changing of the surface texture influences the fluid flow over or through the surface, thus allowing for thermal regulation of the surface. The thermal regulation system further controls fluid flow through an electronic device via a coating, or layer, having a plurality of active perforations thereon. The active perforations may open and close to increase and decrease the inlet of air to the system in order to help balance the back pressure in the system and redirect airflow to more sensitive system components. Active perforations may be individually opened and/or closed depending on location and system component utilization.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel J.

Patent number: 9929485Abstract: Disclosed aspects include an apparatus having a card edge connector which has first and second positions. The apparatus may include a set of contacts to connect with a set of card edges in the second position. To adjust the set of contacts between the first position and the second position, the apparatus may include a set of electroactive polymers. Disclosed aspects include card edge connector management. It may be detected that a card edge connector is in a first position. A request for the card edge connector to be in a second position can be received. It is determined to adjust the card edge connector. The card edge connector is adjusted using a set of electroactive polymers. In embodiments, such adjustment can include introducing a voltage which causes the set of electroactive polymers to adjust a set of contacts between the first and second positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tyler Jandt, Phillip V.
