  • Publication number: 20140111941
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a chassis and a cooling module. A plurality of air inlets and a plurality of air outlets are defined in a same side plate of the chassis. A partition separates the air inlets from the air outlets. Air flows into the chassis through the plurality of air inlets and flows out of the plurality of air outlets under the action of the cooling module, and then the electronic device is cooled.

  • Publication number: 20080149321
    Abstract: A thermal module includes a thermal conductor and at least one first magnetic element. The thermal conductor is disposed above a carrier. In addition, the thermal module may further include at least one second magnetic element or at least one magnetically susceptible element. Either the second magnetic element or the magnetically susceptible element and the first magnetic element can produce magnetic attractive force or magnetic repulsion force therebetween. By such magnetic force, the thermal conductor can be retained with respect to the carrier, thus making contact with a heat generating component.
