  • Techniques for precision testing of thermal interface materials
    Patent number: 7517140
    Abstract: Techniques for precision testing of thermal interface materials are described. An apparatus may include multiple anvils each having multiple sensors disposed along its axis. A thermal interface material may be disposed between the anvils. A control module may be communicatively coupled to said sensors and arranged to receive temperature readings from the multiple sensors to form a temperature gradient, determine a surface temperature for each anvil based on the temperature gradient, determine a heat flux through the thermal interface material based on the surface temperature, and determine a resistance value for the thermal interface material based on the heat flux. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
