  • Patent number: 7161240
    Abstract: An electrical assemblage reduces heat generated by components during operation. The assemblage has at least one heat-generating component, typically a resistor, and at least one heat-removing element electrically associated with the heat-generating component. Heat-removing element comprises a plurality of vias therein and is fixedly attached to a tip of the electrical components, typically on opposed charged ends. Heat absorbed by the heat-removing element is then transported to a heat sink, cooperatively associated therewith, for disposal. In an electrical assemblage, a circuit board contains multiple heat generating components each being associated with a heat-removing element of the invention.

  • Patent number: 6771504
    Abstract: A heat transporting electrical assemblage retained in a retaining unit transports heat between a heat sink and a thermal transport element in fluid communications with the heat sink. The thermal transport element is snugly arranged in a thermal gap between a coplanar thermal wall formed by a wall of both the heat sink and the electrical assemblage. Thermal transport element makes at least partial contact with a portion of the coplanar thermal wall and with a portion of the retaining unit thereby transporting heat from the hotter thermal wall to the cooler frame of the retaining unit.

  • Patent number: 6678159
    Abstract: A method of transporting heat from a heat dissipating electrical assemblage having a circuit board insertable in a card cage or retaining unit and at least one heat generating component mounted thereon. A heat sink is arranged in contact with the electrical assemblage and forms a coplanar wall spaced apart from the interior wall of the card cage. A thermal transport element is arranged in the thermal gap formed between the coplanar wall and the interior wall. The thermal transport element is at least in partial contact with the coplanar wall and interior wall thereby transporting heat from the hotter electrical assemblage to the cooler interior wall of the card cage.
