Patent number: 10049959Abstract: This invention relates to a thermal interface device (206) arranged to provide a thermal coupling interface between a heat-generating unit (202) and a heat-removing unit (204), comprising a liner layer (210), which has opposite first and second surfaces (218,220), at least the first surface being a slide surface, and which is provided with multiple perforations (212); and a thermal connection layer (208), which is engaged with the liner layer at the second surface (220) thereof, and which is one of elastically and inelastically deformable. The thermal interface device has an idle state where the perforations are open, and an active state where the perforations are filled with a part of the thermal connection layer. The thermal connection layer is arranged to be deformed by the thermal interface device being subjected to a compression force exceeding a deformation threshold, and thereby to fill the perforations.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Bas Fleskens, Lambertus Adrianus Marinus De Jong

Patent number: 9316447Abstract: There is provided a thermal interface material, TIM, a thermal interface application comprising such a TIM, and corresponding methods for providing the material and the thermal interface. The TIM comprises a TIM layer in which an activable shrinkage material is distributed, such that upon activation of the shrinkage material the thickness of the TIM layer is increased. In the thermal interface application, where the TIM (400) is arranged between a heat generating component (20) and a heat conducting element (30), the increase in thickness of the TIM layer is utilized to increase the contact pressure on mating surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Bas Fleskens, Reinier Imre Anton Den Boer
