Patent number: 11439001Abstract: An information handling system includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a barrier frame, thermal potting material that fills the barrier frame, and a heat removing structure embedded into the thermal potting material. The barrier frame encloses a first device, and extends to also enclose a second location of the PCB. The thermal potting material surrounds the first device. The heat removing structure includes a first pad co-located with the first device, a second pad co-located with the second location, and a thermally conductive connection between the first pad and the second pad. The heat removing structure may remove heat generated by the first device to the second pad.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Iris Huang, Cliff CH Chuang

Patent number: 10856441Abstract: An information handling system includes a first device including a first heat generating region, a second device including a second heat generating region, and a cooling device. The cooling device has a first hot surface on a first side of the cooling device, a first cold surface on a second side of the cooling device, a second hot surface on the second side of the cooling device, and a second cold surface on the first side of the cooling device. The first heat generating region is thermally attached to the first hot surface. First heat from the first heat generating region is transmitted to the first cold surface. The second heat generating region is thermally attached to the second hot surface. Second heat from the second heat generating region is transmitted to the second cold surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Iris Huang, Sean Hu

Patent number: 10775863Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to manage working states of a data processing system. At least one embodiment of the present invention includes a data processing system with one or more sensors (e.g., physical sensors such as tachometer and thermistors, and logical sensors such as CPU load) for fine grain control of one or more components (e.g., processor, fan, hard drive, optical drive) of the system for working conditions that balance various goals (e.g., user preferences, performance, power consumption, thermal constraints, acoustic noise). In one example, the clock frequency and core voltage for a processor are actively managed to balance performance and power consumption (heat generation) without a significant latency. In one example, the speed of a cooling fan is actively managed to balance cooling effort and noise (and/or power consumption).Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Culbert, Keith Alan Cox, Brian Howard, Josh de Cesare, Richard Charles Williams, Dave Robbins Falkenburg, Daisie Iris Huang, David Radcliffe

Publication number: 20130273209Abstract: An expandable starch-based component is extruded through a random extruder together with a colored component having a color unlike that of said starch-based component. The starch-based component may include cereal grains such as rice or corn meal or components derived therefrom. The colored component may include colored starches such as blue corn meal; seeds; and/or micropellets made from fine particle ingredients. When combined, the components form a color-comprising mixture that can be extruded into colored or colorful collets. The color-comprising mixture comprises between about 2% to about 10% colored component. The produced bi-colored collets may then be cooked, optionally seasoned and packaged for consumption.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2012Publication date: October 17, 2013Applicant: Frito-Lay North America, Inc.Inventors: Stefan K.

Publication number: 20130045317Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the production of direct expanded farinaceous food products without the use of a drying apparatus such as an oven and without the use of traditionally used sugar to eliminate such drying steps. A farinaceous material combined with a plasticizer component in the form of trehalose is extruded to form a direct expanded shelf-stable snack food product. Snack food products made with trehalose can be incorporated into an outer shell of a composite center-filled or co-extruded product.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2011Publication date: February 21, 2013Applicant: FRITO-LAY NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Andres Victor ARDISSON-KORAT, Christina Lee COON, David Wallice GRAHAM, Sander HOWARD, Iris HUANG, Jorge C.
