  • METHOD FOR MAKING A METAL ISOLATOR BODY AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20220212400
    Abstract: A method for making a metal isolator body to be positioned between a heat sensitive component and a heat source includes obtaining at least a thermal conductivity specification and a load specification for the metal isolator body, and generating a metal isolator body design including solid regions and lattice regions to meet at least the thermal conductivity specification and the load specification. Three dimensional (3D) metal printing is used to form the metal isolator body based upon the metal isolator body design.

  • Electronics chassis compound cylinder pressure vessel
    Patent number: 10721831
    Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (1500) for using a pressure vessel. The methods comprise: obtaining the pressure vessel comprising a shell and an insert having an interference fit with the shell whereby the insert is locked in place within the shell via interfacial pressure; inserting at least one electronic component in a first hollow cavity formed in the insert; mechanically supporting the at least one electronic component using a structural feature of the insert; and transferring heat from the electronic component to an external environment via a heat transfer path that comprises a full surface area of the insert's outer surface abutting the shell's inner surface.
