Patent number: 9455213Abstract: Effective utilization of a parallel flow air-cooled microchannel array at the micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) scale is prohibited by unfavorable flow patterns in simple rectangular arrays. The primary problem encountered is the inability of the flow stream to penetrate a sufficient depth into the fin core to achieve the desired fin efficiency. Embodiments of the present invention overcome this problem using a manifold with open nozzle discharge and integrated lateral exhaust along with a microchannel array cooler with micro spreading cavities for internal air distribution.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2010Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: RAYTHEON COMPANYInventor: Scott T. Johnson

Patent number: 9447948Abstract: The present disclosure involves a street light. The street light includes a base, a lamp post coupled to the base, and a lamp head coupled to the lamp post. The lamp head includes a housing and a plurality of LED light modules disposed within the housing. The LED light modules are separate and independent from each other. Each LED light module includes an array of LED that serve as light sources for the lamp. Each LED light module also includes a heat sink that is thermally coupled to the LED. The heat sink is operable to dissipate heat generated by the LED during operation. Each LED light module also includes a thermally conductive cover having a plurality of openings. Each LED is aligned with and disposed within a respective one of the openings.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: EPISTAR CORPORATIONInventors: Jin-Hua Wang, Hsueh-Hung Fu, Pei-Wen Ko, Chih-Hsuan Sun

Patent number: 9316389Abstract: A modular LED heat-dissipating device includes an LED circuit board, a heat-conducting adhesive layer, a heat-dissipating structure, and a wire terminal module. The LED light source illuminates by power supplied via the wire terminal module. Heat generated from the LED light source is dissipated by the heat-dissipating structure. This device does not dissipate heat by a lamp housing. So the lamp housing can be made of, but not limited to, plastic, thereby decreasing a production cost of the LED lamp. In addition, the modular LED heat-dissipating device can fit various kinds of lamp housings. When the LED light source breaks down, the modular LED heat-dissipating device and the lamp housing can be easily separated to replace or repair the LED light source.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Inventor: Cheng-Feng Huang

Patent number: 9282675Abstract: A heat sink and method of fabrication are provided for removing heat from an electronic component(s). The heat sink includes a heat sink base and frame. The base has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and includes a base surface configured to couple to the electronic component to facilitate removal of heat. The frame has a second CTE, and is configured to constrain the base surface in opposing relation to the electronic component, wherein the first CTE is greater than the second CTE. At least one of the heat sink base or frame is configured so that heating of the heat sink base results in a compressive force at the base surface of the heat sink base towards the electronic component that facilitates heat transfer from the electronic component. A thermal interface material is disposed between the base surface and the electronic component.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Levi A. Campbell, Richard C. Chu, Milnes P. David, Michael J. Ellsworth, Jr., Madhusudan K. Iyengar, Robert E. Simons, Prabjit Singh

Patent number: 9220184Abstract: A system includes an electronic device, a heat spreader with a vapor chamber attached to a bottom end of the electronic device, so that heat flows from the electronic device to the heat spreader, and a heat sink with microchannels running through it attached to a bottom end of the heat spreader, so that heat from the heat spreader flows through the heat sink and to an ambient. A method for cooling a device includes transferring heat generated by a device through a conductivity layer, spreading the heat through a heat spreader, transferring the heat from the heat spreader to a heat sink that contains microchannels, and releasing the heat from the heat sink into an ambient.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Ram Ranjan, Matthew Robert Pearson, Shashank Krishnamurthy

Patent number: 9196604Abstract: A power semiconductor module includes a base plate as a metallic heat dissipating body, a first insulating layer on the base plate, and a first wiring pattern on the first insulating layer. On a predetermined region that is a part of the first wiring pattern, a second wiring pattern for a second layer is laminated via only a second insulating layer made of resin, thereby forming a pattern laminated region. A power semiconductor element is mounted in a region other than the pattern laminated region on the first wiring pattern. The base plate, the first insulating layer, the first wiring pattern, the second insulating layer, the second wiring pattern, and the power semiconductor element are integrally sealed with a transfer mold resin, thus obtaining the power semiconductor module.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yoshiko Tamada, Seiji Oka
