Abstract:
A compact, high-performance thermoelectric conversion module includes a laminate having a plurality of insulating layers, p-type thermoelectric semiconductors and n-type thermoelectric semiconductors formed by a technique for manufacturing a multilayer circuit board, particularly a technique for forming a via-conductor. Pairs of the p-type thermoelectric semiconductors and the n-type thermoelectric semiconductors are electrically connected to each other in series through p-n connection conductors to define thermoelectric conversion element pairs. The thermoelectric conversion element pairs are connected in series through, for example, series wiring conductors. The thermoelectric semiconductors each have a plurality of portions in which the peak temperatures of thermoelectric figures of merit are different from each other. These portions are distributed in the stacking direction of the laminate.

An electronic device may have a printed circuit to which electrical components are mounted. The electrical components may include a thermal sensor and a pressure sensor. A through hole in the printed circuit may receive the shaft of a standoff. The standoff may be soldered to plated metal on the sides of the through hole. A screw or other fastener may secure the printed circuit to a housing for the electronic device. A ring-shaped metal member may be soldered to the printed circuit. The ring-shaped metal member may form a bumper that surrounds the screw or other fastener and the thermal sensor. The pressure sensor may have a port through which ambient pressure measurements are made. A dust protection cover such as a fabric or other porous layer may cover the port.

A thermoelectric device includes a printed circuit board, a component which is arranged on the printed circuit board, a cover which covers the printed circuit board, a thermoelectric generator, and a spring unit. The thermoelectric generator is thermally connected to the printed circuit board or metal paths on the printed circuit board and to the cover in order to generate an electric supply voltage for the component from the temperature difference between the printed circuit board and the cover. The spring unit elastically holds the thermoelectric generator between the printed circuit board and the cover.

The first metal-junction surface is connected to the heat-storing device for performing heat exchange with the heat-storing device. The second metal-junction surface is joined with the first metal-junction surface, in which the thermoelectric device generates an electric potential by a temperature difference between the first metal-junction surface and the second metal-junction surface.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board for use with a cooling device configured to cool at least one device is provided. The printed circuit board includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface; a ground plane on the first surface of the substrate, and circuitry in a circuit-region on the second surface of the substrate. The ground plane includes a patterned-region that is patterned with an array of holes. The circuitry is configured for use with the at least one device to be cooled. When a first side of the cooling device contacts the ground plane, and when the at least one device to be cooled contacts the circuitry, a reduced cross-sectional area of the patterned-region prevents heat from a second side of the cooling device from degrading performance of the at least one device.
