  • Publication number: 20250133698
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided that implements thermally conductive plastic supports that may replace the typical use of “feet” used in conventional electronic devices. The thermally conductive supports may extend through the bottom chassis cover (e.g. the “D cover”) of the electronic device, and be mechanically and thermally coupled to a heat pipe that is in turn coupled to a heat source for which thermal regulation is utilized. The thermally conductive plastic supports may provide a heat path from the heat source to the bottom chassis cover and, when the electronic device is disposed on a surface, an additional heat path may be provided from the heat source to this surface.

  • Publication number: 20240431066
    Abstract: Heat exchange apparatuses and methods for hyperbaric cooling fan applications such as computing devices. The apparatus comprises a material with high thermal conductivity and is configured to be overlaid on an internal surface of the housing, such that an internal surface of the apparatus is exposed to the hot air flowing inside the housing, and an external surface of the apparatus occludes at least some of the existing through-holes of the housing. In operation, the apparatus converts the through-holes into passive heat exchanging regions that passively transfer heat from inside the housing to outside the housing, which brings the internal air temperature and junction temperature (Tj) of the heat generating components down. Provided embodiments do not require reworking of the original industrial design (ID) of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8937805
    Abstract: An information handling system display having a first part that includes a display screen and rendering electronics fastened onto a second part to seal the rendering electronics within the display. The first part is bonded onto the second part via an adhesive that forms a bond between the two parts. A shearing mechanism is also disposed within the display with at least one externally exposed end. A pulling force is applied to the at least one externally exposed end in order to cut through the bond when there is a need to separate the two parts from each other.
