  • Publication number: 20180003451
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system with a primary body in communication with at least one heat source. A chamber housed within the primary body includes a boundary to separate the heat source from fluid contact and a secondary body housed in the chamber. The secondary body includes a conduit and a cover in communication with the conduit wherein the cover has a fluid flow inlet extending into the conduit and the conduit includes a series of convection ports to exhaust fluid into the chamber. Upon surging through the convection ports, the fluid comes in contact with the plenum of the primary body and dissipates the heat generated from the heat source and transferred to the primary body. An outlet, separate from the inlet, removes the fluid from the chamber.

  • Patent number: 9860815
    Abstract: The present specification suggests a method for improving performance degradation caused by frequent handovers when a terminal moves among several cells, particularly among dense small cells. To this end, required are cooperative transmission among cells and a new handover method. A base station receives RSRP information about an anchor cell and a neighboring cell and configures a cooperation-based cell cluster using the RSRP information. If RSRP values are compared and meet specific conditions, the anchor cell and the neighboring cell carry out cooperative communication. If the RSRP values of the anchor cell and an anchor candidate cell are compared during the cooperative communication and meet specific conditions, handover from the anchor cell to the anchor candidate cell is carried out. If the present invention is applied, when the terminal moves in an environment where small cells are dense, the number of handovers is greatly reduced and thus network burden can be lessened.
