  • Patent number: 11950394
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for liquid cooling of an electronic component. A housing includes an insertion slot and defines at least one component chamber for carrying the electronic component. A fluid inlet and fluid outlet are provided on the housing. A liquid coolant circuit passes through the housing at least from the inlet to the outlet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: GE Aviation Systems LLC

  • Patent number: 11864347
    Abstract: A heat sink assembly for use with at least one heat-emitting component where the heat sink assembly includes a first phase change material conductively coupled to the at least one heat-emitting component and changing phase at a first temperature and a second phase change material conductively coupled to the first phase change material and changing phase at a second temperature, which is greater than the first temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230420901
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus for connecting an electronic component to a conductor. A housing includes at least one slot and defines at least one component chamber for carrying the electronic component. A liquid coolant can pass through the housing. A pair of conductive members extends from the housing through the at least one slot and can be releasably inserted into a channel defined in a support assembly. The support assembly facilitates an electrical connection between the conductive members and corresponding conductive contact members connected to a respective power supply or electrical load. The support assembly can provide an inward sealing force to a seal on the housing circumscribing the pair of conductive members.

  • Publication number: 20230361049
    Abstract: A modular POL component can be arranged to define a half-bridge converter topology, and can be coupled with other modular POL power components to define a full-bridge or 3-phase AC converter topology based on a desired power output. The assembled POL components can be mounted on a common electrically insulative substrate to define a POL power conversion device to provide the desired power output.

  • Patent number: 10794637
    Abstract: A circular heatsink can include a thermally conductive cylinder with an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface. An emissive and convective and convective surface area can extend radially from the outer circumferential surface. At least one thermally conductive ledge can extend from the inner circumferential surface and be configured to support a planar substrate having heat-generating electrical components. Air flow over the emissive and convective surface area can cause thermal conduction away from the heat-generating electrical components and through the at least one thermally conductive ledge, the thermally conductive cylinder, and the emissive and convective surface area.
