Patent number: 11397055Abstract: A vapor-chamber that includes a porous microstructure sheet with varying surface energy across different regions to optimize utilization of a working fluid. Modulating the surface energy of the porous microstructure sheet can minimize the amount of the working fluid that becomes trapped in the condenser region(s) and maximize an aggregate thin-film evaporation area of the working fluid in the evaporator region(s). The condenser region of the vapor-chamber is treated so that the internal surfaces have low surface energy. For example, the treatment may cause the condenser region to become hydrophobic to minimize the amount of fluid that becomes trapped in the condenser. The evaporator region is treated so that the internal surfaces have high surface energy. For example, the treatment may cause the evaporator region to become hydrophilic to induce the formation of large numbers of robust (e.g., dry-out resistant) thin-film evaporation sites.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2021Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Shahar Ben-Menahem, Tzu-Yuan Lin, Michael Nikkhoo

Patent number: 11304334Abstract: A vapor chamber includes an electromagnetic (EM) shielding layer. The vapor chamber is constructed from a structural base material that provides for a suitable size, strength, and/or weight for a specific application. The vapor chamber is treated at the region(s) to provide suitable EM shielding characteristics for the specific application. For example, an oxidation layer is removed from the region(s) to expose the structural base material while the vapor chamber is in an inert environment that prevents further oxidation. Then, while the vapor chamber remains within the same inert environment, a material having suitable electrical conductive properties is deposited onto the exposed structural base material to form an EM shielding layer at the region(s). When the vapor chamber is installed into an electronic device, the EM shielding layer may be electrically grounded so as to isolate one or more components within the electronic device from EM signal interference.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Brian J. Toleno, Erin Elizabeth Hurbi, Michael Nikkhoo, Tzu-Yuan Lin

Patent number: 10989919Abstract: A pad shape for a support assembly is optimized to provide universal fitting characteristics to Head-Mounted Display (HMD) devices. The pad shape enables a display of a single HMD device to be reliably aligned within multiple users' fields-of-view notwithstanding significant variations of shape and size between these users' heads. Optimal positioning of the display within the multiple users' fields-of-view may be achieved by positionally constraining the HMD device against a portion of the head that varies relatively slightly as compared to other portions of the head. The contact pad includes a curved region having a shape defined by a high order polynomial that corresponds to an empirically determined best fit surface. Empirically determining one or both of the best fit surface or the high order polynomial may include aligning a plurality of “forehead” point clouds that map the geometries of a sample set of users' foreheads.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Igor Markovsky, Shahar Ben-Menahem, Michael Nikkhoo, Tzu-Yuan Lin

Patent number: 10962298Abstract: A two-phase thermodynamic system includes a porous microstructure sheet to increase an aggregate thin-film evaporation area of a working fluid. The porous microstructure sheet may be disposed at a liquid-vapor boundary of the working fluid. The porous microstructure sheet has “micro” pores through which the working fluid flows from a liquid flow path on one side of the porous microstructure sheet to a vapor flow path on the other side of the porous microstructure sheet. Individual pores induce the working fluid to form thin-film evaporation regions. The porous microstructure sheet may have a pore density so as to increase an aggregate thin-film evaporation area of the working fluid. In this way, the overall thermal resistance across all liquid-vapor interfaces (menisci) of the working fluid is substantially decreased over conventional vapor chamber.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shahar Ben-Menahem, Tzu-Yuan Lin, Michael Nikkhoo
