Publication number: 20240155790Abstract: Techniques are described to address issues for repairing and/or servicing electronic components through the use of retaining assemblies that use bimetal retaining mechanisms. The bimetal retaining mechanisms may comprise various shapes such as hooks, snap-hooks, clips, etc., and facilitate a temperature-selective removal of various electronic components such as displays, EMI shields, etc. without damaging these components and without compromising the thickness and weight of the electronic device. External heating systems may be used to trigger actuation of the bimetal retaining mechanisms, resulting in their release. Alternatively, internal electronic device heating systems may be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Deepak Sekar, Samarth Alva, Prakash Kurma Raju, Prasanna Pichumani, Arnab Sen

Publication number: 20230093095Abstract: Low-profile fasteners with springs that are either integrated with the fastener or are a physically separate component can provide a more evenly distributed load to a heat transfer device, such as a vapor chamber or a heat pipe. The low-profile fasteners do not increase the height of the base of a mobile computing device as the spring and the portion of the fastener that extends past the spring fit within a recess or cavity of the heat transfer device. The spring can be a diaphragm spring, a wave spring, or another suitable spring. The use of low-profile fasteners with springs to fasten a heat transfer device to a mainboard may allow for designs with a smaller mainboard area, which can leave room for a larger thermal management solution (which can increase cooling capacity) and allow for a greater thermal design power for the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Samarth Alva, Nagaraj K, Deepak Sekar, Arnab Sen
