(54) Title: SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF A WEARABLE COMPUTING DEVICE BASED ON = PROXIMITY TO A USER (57) : Because the touch temperature of a wearable computing device (\"WCD\") may be an insignificant factor for user experience when the WCD is not being worn by a user, embodiments of the solution seek to modify thermal management policies based on an inferred user proximity state. Exemplary embodiments monitor one or more signals from readily available sensors in the WCD that have primary purposes other than mea- suring user proximity. Depending on embodiment, the sensors may be se- lected from a group consisting of a heart rate monitor, a pulse monitor, an 02 sensor, a bio-impedance sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a tem- perature sensor, a pressure sensor, a capacitive sensor, a resistive sensor and a light sensor. Using the signals generated by such sensors, relative physical proximity of the WCD to a user may be inferred and, based on the user proximity state, thermal policies either relaxed or tightened.

    Abstract: An innovative passive cooling solution with sealed UAV enclosure system allows heat from a semiconductor chip to be dissipated to the ambient environment through evaporation/condensation phase-change cooling and air cooling a heat sink such as a fin (140) without any additional power consumption to operate cooling solution. One example of such a solution may include a pipe (105) with a fin and a fluid. The pipe may include a wick structure (150) along an inner surface of the pipe configured to allow the fluid to travel within the wick structure and to allow a vapor form of the fluid to exit the wick structure towards a center of the pipe.

    Abstract: A package-on-package (PoP) device includes a first package, a second package, and a bi-directional thermal electric cooler (TEC). The first package includes a first substrate and a first die coupled to the first substrate. The second package is coupled to the first package. The second package includes a second substrate and a second die coupled to the second substrate. The TEC is located between the first die and the second substrate. The TEC is adapted to dynamically dissipate heat back and forth between the first package and the second package. The TEC is adapted to dissipate heat from the first die to the second die in a first time period. The TEC is further adapted to dissipate heat from the second die to the first die in a second time period. The TEC is adapted to dissipate heat from the first die to the second die through the second substrate.
