Patent number: 8937807Abstract: A circuit board assembly including a heating device operated during cold boot startup includes a circuit board having a computer component. A thermal transfer device connected to the circuit board assembly acts when the computer component is operating to remove heat generated by the computer component. A heating device operates to heat the thermal transfer device. A field programmable gate array acts to energize the heating device when a temperature defining a cold startup condition at the computer component or the thermal transfer device is sensed. The thermal transfer device when heated by the heating device heats the computer component to greater than the temperature of the cold startup condition. A control device connected to the heating device provides an operational mode of the heating device.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2011Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Emerson Network Power—Embedded Computing, Inc.Inventors: Carmelo Engracia Baquiano, Carmelo Delovino Cayaban, Paul Francis Brosas Montalbo, Joseph Estorgio Celocia
