Shinichi Furumoto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10408547
    Abstract: The invention provides a flattened heat pipe whose vapor flowing passage is not clogged and which has an excellent capillary force. The flattened heat pipe has a closed container formed by flattening a tubular container, a plurality of wick structures arrayed within the container in a longitudinal direction so as to form an acute-angled portion where a capillary force is large at least partially within the container, a hollow portion formed of an outer peripheral surface of the wick structure and an inner wall surface of the container and a working fluid sealed into the container.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: FURUKAWA ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

  • Publication number: 20120247735
    Abstract: The heat sink has a first heat transfer plate member that has one surface thermally connected to a heat generating component and is thermally connected to a first heat dissipating fin section having thin plate fins; a second heat transfer plate member that has one surface thermally connected to a second heat dissipating fin section having thin plate fins; a heat pipe section that is provided between an opposite surface of the first heat transfer plate member and an opposite surface of the second heat transfer plate member to be thermally connected thereto; and a heat transfer block that is thermally connected to a side surface and an upper surface of the heat pipe section and arranged to sandwich the heat pipe section between the heat transfer block and the second heat transfer plate member.

  • Publication number: 20120097372
    Abstract: Provided is a heat sink capable of improving heat dissipating characteristics and saving space with a reduced fin size. The heat sink is provided with: a base plate which has one surface thermally connected to a heat generating component and which has thermally connected thereto a first heat dissipating fin section composed of a thin plate fin; an upper plate which has a second heat dissipating fin section thermally connected on one surface, the second heat dissipating fin section being composed of two kinds of thin plate fins having different heights; and a plurality of heat pipes which are disposed between the other surface of the base plate and the other surface of the upper plate by being thermally connected to the surfaces and which include a heat pipe that has at least a part thereof inserted into a part of the second heat dissipating fin section.
