  • Patent number: 9750127
    Abstract: A circuit card assembly includes a first printed circuit board and a first electronic component mounted on the first printed circuit board. A heat transfer assembly is coupled to the first printed circuit board. The heat transfer assembly includes a first plate extending adjacent the first printed circuit board and a second plate extending adjacent the first plate. At least one of the first plate and the second plate includes an accommodation feature to accommodate the first electronic component. The heat transfer assembly further includes a first set of heat pipes between the first plate and the second plate. The first set of heat pipes is configured to remove heat from the first electronic component. At least one heat pipe of the first set of heat pipes extends adjacent the accommodation feature.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160021788
    Abstract: An electronic device assembly includes a heat sink coupled to an electronic device to dissipate the heat produced by the electronic device. A heat spreader is coupled between the electronic device and the heat sink to transfer heat from the electronic device to the heat sink. Furthermore, at least one of the electronic device, the heat spreader, and the heat sink is disposed with a disordered carbon coating.
