  • Patent number: 11503740
    Abstract: An information handling system having a heat exchanger positioned near and in thermally-conductive conduct with an electrical, heat-generating component of the information handling system, such as a central processing unit or graphics processing unit. A fan directs air across the heat exchanger to cool the electrical component by convection. A first portion of the heat pipe may be in direct physical contact with the electrical component and a second portion of the heat pipe may be in thermal contact with the electrical component and the first portion and in direct physical contact with an additional heat exchanger. The fan may direct air across both heat exchangers to cool the electrical component.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7416414
    Abstract: A device that includes a circuit board (214) and a first electrical contact (100). The first electrical contact can include a jacket (104) and a magnetic member (102) that slideably engages the jacket. The jacket can be soldered, fastened or clamped to the circuit board, or conductively attached to the circuit board in any other suitable manner. A first portion of the jacket can be attached to the circuit board so as to provide electrical continuity between the jacket and a conductive portion of the circuit board. The magnetic member can include a flange (108, 208) and can be translationally moveable between a first position in which the flange does not engage the jacket and a second position in which the flange does engage the jacket.
