Abstract:
An apparatus with some embodiments is described having ducts positioned above and below a main device housing to provide cooling air flow to at least a portion of the top and bottom surfaces of the associated computing device. In some embodiments, the device is a mobile computing device. In some embodiments, air may be drawn through inlets located on at least one side of the device. The inlet air may be supplied via upper and lower air ducts to an air mover positioned on an opposite side of the device. In some embodiments, air discharged from the air mover may be supplied to a main housing of the device in which heat producing components may be located. Other embodiments are described.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention describe a device and method of mitigating radio frequency interference (RFI) in an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a housing, and a thermal energy storage material is formed in the housing. By increasing the loss tangent parameter of the thermal energy storage material, the RFI of the electronic device is reduced.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are directed towards passive cooling systems for handheld mobile computing devices. An electro-hydrodynamic air mover (EAM) may be included in a handheld mobile computing device, the EAM to include an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and outlet are each included in at least one surface side of the handheld mobile computing device. In embodiments of the invention the EAM produces an airflow by accelerating charged particles surrounding an electrode near the inlet towards an second electrode near the outlet in response to an electric field applied to the electrodes. The airflow will result from air drawn into the inlet of the EAM (i.e., air external to the computing device) and air expelled from the outlet of the EAM (i.e., air expelled away from the computing device).
Abstract:
Some embodiments of an apparatus, system and method are described for a concealed venting thermal solution. An apparatus may comprise an enclosure arranged around one or more heat generating components, a duct arranged around an internal perimeter of the enclosure and a seam inlet arranged around an external perimeter of the enclosure to allow an airflow to enter the duct. Other embodiments are described.
Abstract:
In one embodiment an electronic device comprises a housing having a first section comprising a display and a second section comprising a keyboard coupled to the first section by a hinge assembly and an automatic hinge opening assembly for the housing. The automat hinge opening assembly comprises a hinge pin assembly mountable to the first section of the housing of the electronic device a pin rotatable about an axis between a first position and a second position and a hinge plate coupled to the pin and connectable to a hinge which connects the first section of the housing to a second section of the housing, and at least one torsion member coupled to the pin to apply a torque to the pin, wherein the torsion member is to store potential energy when the first section of the housing and the second section of the housing are in a closed position.. Other embodiments may be described.
