  • Publication number: 20240057296
    Abstract: In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a cooling system for a computing device. The cooling system includes an air-cooled cooling system located in a housing. The air-cooled cooling system includes a heat sink thermally connected to a processor, an air-cooling radiator, and a heat pipe connecting the heat sink to the air-cooling radiator. The cooling system includes a liquid-cooled cooling system located in the housing. The liquid-cooled cooling system includes a cold plate thermally connected to a to the heat sink, a pump, a fluid radiator, and a fluid piping system connecting the pump, the cold plate, and the fluid radiator.

  • Publication number: 20230320035
    Abstract: A thermal management device includes a heat spreader and a folded graphite sheet. The heat spreader is configured to receive heat from a heat source. The folded graphite sheet is connected to the heat spreader to receive and exhaust heat from the heat spreader. The folded graphite sheet includes a first fin, a second fin, and a segment connecting the first fin and second fin. The first fin is oriented at least partially vertically away from the heat spreader. The second fin is oriented at least partially vertically away from the heat spreader. The folded graphite sheet is continuous through the first fin, the segment, and the second fin.

  • Patent number: 11474577
    Abstract: Cooling of an electronic device that includes a first portion and a second portion is provided. The first portion and the second portion are rotatable relative to each other. A first sensor measures a first temperature at a first location within or on the electronic device continuously or intermittently. A second sensor measures a second temperature at a second location within or on the electronic device continuously or intermittently. A processor identifies a first state of the electronic device or a second state of the electronic device. The processor controls operation of the electronic device based on the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature when the electronic device is in the identified first state and controls the operation of the electronic device based on the first measured temperatures but not based on the second measured temperatures when the electronic device is in the identified second state.

  • Patent number: 11452244
    Abstract: The present concepts maintain forward flow and prevent reverse flow of heat-transferring media. A first zone and a second zone are proximate to each other. A first fan moves air through the first zone in a forward direction. A second fan moves air through the second zone in a forward direction. The speed of the first fan is compared with the speed of the second fan. If the first fan speed is slower than the second fan speed, then the first fan speed is adjusted to match the second fan speed. Therefore, reverse airflow in the first zone is prevented.
