Jun 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/895507
Inventors:
Sridhar V. Machiroutu - Santa Clara CA
Eric Distefano - Livermore CA
Assignee:

International Classification:
H05H 720
US Classification:
361700, 16510426, 16510433, 174 152, 257715, 361701
Abstract:
A system including a vapor chamber including a liquid. The vapor chamber is coupled with a die. The vapor chamber is attached to a plurality of micro pipes (MPs). When heat is generated by the die, the liquid is vaporized in the vapor chamber generating vapor. The vapor flows through the MPs to condensation ends of the MPs.

Mobile Computer Having A Housing With Openings For Cooling

View page
US Patent:
6577502, Jun 10, 2003
Filed:
Jun 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/605918
Inventors:
Eric DiStefano - Livermore CA
Krishna Seshan - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 120
US Classification:
361687, 361683, 361693
Abstract:
A mobile computer comprising a lower panel, a top panel, side panels, an electrical computer component, a plurality of keyboard keys, and a computer screen. The lower panel can be located over a horizontal surface. The top panel is vertically spaced from the lower panel. The side panels extend between the lower panel and the top panel. The panels define a housing. An air inlet opening is formed into the housing and an air outlet opening is formed at a higher elevation than the air inlet opening out of the housing. The electrical computer component is located within the housing. Power up of the component causes heating thereof. Air follows a natural convection path being through the air inlet opening into the housing, over the component, and out of the housing through the air outlet opening. The keys are located on the housing. The computer screen is mounted to the housing.

Computer System Having A Refrigeration Cycle Utilizing An Adsorber/Desorber For Purposes Of Compression

View page
US Patent:
6595022, Jul 22, 2003
Filed:
Jun 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/894192
Inventors:
Himanshu Pokharna - San Jose CA
Eric Distefano - Livermore CA
Joseph D. Walters - Santa Clara CA
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
F25B 1708
US Classification:
62480, 62141, 361688
Abstract:
A computer system is described having a refrigeration cycle for a logic processor each utilizes first and second refrigeration cycles, each including a respective adsorber/desorber. Each adsorber/desorber is alternatingly cooled and heated. A liquid is adsorbed into the adsorber/desorber when being cooled and desorbed when the adsorber/desorber is heated. When the liquid is desorbed from the adsorber/desorber, and a checkvalve is closed, a pressure of the liquid increases. The adsorber/desorber together with the checkvalve act as a compressor in the respective refrigeration cycle. Heating and cooling is alternated so that one adsorber/desorber always adsorbs liquid while the other adsorber/desorber desorbes liquid. Thermal swings of the logic processor are thereby avoided.

Increased Thermal Capability Of Portable Electronic Device In Stationary Or Docked Mode

View page
US Patent:
6674640, Jan 6, 2004
Filed:
Jul 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/895465
Inventors:
Himanshu Pokharna - San Jose CA
Eric Distefano - Livermore CA
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H05K 721
US Classification:
361687, 361686, 454184, 16510433, 16510432
Abstract:
A technique for increasing the thermal capability of a portable electronic device includes transferring dissipated heat from a heat source disposed within the portable electronic device to at least one heat exchanger via at least one respective thermal transfer device. This may be in addition to another heat exchanger connected to the heat source via another thermal transfer device. At least one external fan is disposed adjacent to the at least one heat exchanger and dissipated heat transferred from the heat source to the at least one heat exchanger is removed via a flow of air generated by the at least one external fan. This may be in addition to an internal fan disposed adjacent the another heat exchanger to dissipate heat transferred from the heat source to the anther heat exchanger via flow of air generated by the internal fan. The at least one thermal transfer device may be a heat pipe. The portable electronic device may be a notebook computer and the heat source disposed therein may be a processor.
