Patent number: 11611192Abstract: A device and method are provided for more efficient thermal management of optoelectronic devices. A microfluidic distribution apparatus embedded with the optoelectronic device uses a working fluid in phase change to passively remove heat from an optoelectronic device. The working fluid undergoes phase change through various conversions between a liquid state and a two-phase liquid-vapor state to facilitate evaporation and condensation processes as the working fluid is distributed through micro-structures in the embedded microfluidic distribution apparatus. Passive two-phase cooling provides high thermal performance due to the use of the latent heat of a fluid in phase change, as well as the presence of favorable two-phase flow regimes at micro-scale dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Accelsius, LLCInventors: Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Stefano Grillanda

Patent number: 11592912Abstract: Clickpad structures may be attached to surfaces of an information handling system using material stacks comprising an elastic material, such as a sponge, which can preload a force on the clickpad surface. The preloaded force reduces a gap between the clickpad switch and contact point, which reduces instability, rattling, and other negative experiences with the clickpad surface experienced by a user. According to an embodiment, an input device for an information handling system includes a clickpad surface having a first side configured to receive user input and a second side opposite the first side; a first coupling stack comprising a first elastic material with a first thickness; and a second coupling stack comprising a second elastic material with a second thickness, wherein each of the coupling stacks is attached to the clickpad surface and a surface of the information handling system by adhesives.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Jing-Tang Wu, Shih-Wei Yang, Chia-Chi Ho, Ya-Chen Tsai

Patent number: 11579657Abstract: The present invention provides a terminal control method, a protective case, and a terminal. In the method, a terminal may be disposed with two Hall effect sensors for sensing a change of a magnetic field generated by a magnet in a protective case, and identify a forward snap-fit operation, an opening operation, a backward snap-fit operation, and the like of the protective case. When detecting the forward snap-fit operation of the protective case, the terminal performs a screen off operation; or when detecting the backward snap-fit operation of the protective case, the terminal may skip performing screen off operation. In embodiments of the present invention, the protective case can be prevented from turning off a screen by mistake, so as to improve terminal control accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Jiafu Hu, Haojie Zhang
