Patent number: 10206278Abstract: An apparatus is provided with a component configured with an interface comprising a resilient material. In a first state, the component is mechanically and/or electrically attached to a substrate. Exposure of the interface to the temperature that meets or exceeds the transition temperature of interface causes the resilient material to undergo a state change. The state change of the interface alters the position of the component, including separation of the component from the substrate. The separation disrupts the attachment thereby mitigating damage to the substrate and/or component.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bruce J. Chamberlain, Scott B. King, Joseph Kuczynski, David J. Russell

Patent number: 10197754Abstract: Present thermal solutions to conduct heat from pluggable optical modules into heat sinks use a metal heat sink attached with a spring clip. The interface between the pluggable module and the heat sink is simple metal-on-metal contact, which is inherently a poor thermal interface and limits heat dissipation from the optical module. Heat dissipation from pluggable optical modules is enhanced by the application of thermally conductive fibers, such as an advanced carbon nanotube velvet. The solution improves heat dissipation while preserving the removable nature of the optical modules.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Lumentum Operations LLCInventors: David Moore, Dean Flockton
