  • Patent number: 12287651
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a plurality of sensor sub-units arranged in a grid having first sides configured to be thermally connected to a heat source and opposing second sides. The heat source including a plurality of sub-regions that correspond with the first sides of each of the plurality of sensor sub-units. The plurality of sensor sub-units are configured to sample temperatures of the sub-regions of the heat source. The cooling system also includes a plurality of solid-state cooling sub-units configured to dissipate heat, a plurality of heat exchanger channels and a controller configured to determine the one or more sub-regions of the heat source to cool. Each heat exchanger channel is configured to dissipate heat. At least one surface of at least one of the heat exchanger channels includes a coating configured to boost conversion of heat energy being dissipated into infrared radiation.

  • Patent number: 11435766
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a controller, a plurality of sensor sub-units, a plurality of solid-state cooling sub-units and a heat exchanger. The sensor sub-units are configured to be thermally connected to a heat source. The heat source has a plurality of sub-regions that correspond with each of the sensor sub-units. Each solid-state cooling sub-unit corresponds with and thermally connects to one of the sensor sub-units and is configured to dissipate heat from the sub-regions of the heat source. The heat exchanger is configured to dissipate heat from the sub-regions of the heat source and waste heat. The controller, based on temperatures sampled from the plurality of sensor sub-units and predictions made by an optimizer, is configured to determine the one or more sub-regions of the heat source to cool.
