  • Patent number: 9625890
    Abstract: In one example a controller comprises logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to define a control relationship between a first control loop associated with a first heat source and a second control loop associated with a second heat source and enforce the control relationship during throttling operations of the first heat source and the second heat source. Other examples may be described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 28, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2017
    Assignee: Intel Corporation

  • Patent number: 7178950
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a lamp housing is provided that blocks light and dissipates heat. The lamp housing encases or is integral to a reflector, and has an inner surface that absorbs radiation emitted by the lamp burner and an outer surface that allows for improved heat dissipation through radiation and convection means. The inner surface absorbs radiation and the outer surface is enlarged with a plurality of formations for improved heat dissipation through radiation and convection means. The housing also blocks stray visible light from escaping, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for light leakage systems.

  • Patent number: 6260610
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for enhancing thermal performance of a heat transfer device. A fin pack is generated from a flat sheet of metal, the fin having a plurality of radiussed conduit top portions and a reciprocal plurality of radiussed conduit bottom portions, for transferring heat. The radiussed conduit bottom portions of the fin are attached to a base plate. The base plate comprises a series of grooves and risers for closely approximating the shape of the radiussed conduit portions. The radiussed fin portions nest in the configuration of grooves and risers to maximize the contact area between the fin and the base plate.
