Abstract:
A method is provided for assembling a computer that includes a carrier board having a board management controller (BMC), a power supply, and a carrier bus. The method includes coupling a module to the carrier board, determining, by the carrier board, a type of the module, and providing power to the module based on the module type such that a voltage component of the power is one of a first voltage and a second voltage that is different than the first voltage.
Abstract:
A method for coupling a battery within an embedded system is described. The method includes creating a hole extending through a printed circuit board (PCB), inserting a portion of the battery into the hole, and electrically coupling the battery to at least one contact.
Abstract:
A system for extracting heat from an electronic device is provided. The system includes heat dissipation means positioned within a printed circuit board to form an in-board heat sink structure and a fluid heat transfer medium disposed in the heat dissipation means. The medium circulates through the heat dissipation means carrying heat away from the electronic device.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board assembly is provided. The assembly includes a chassis, a heatframe coupled to the chassis, a printed circuit board (PCB), a thermal interface material (TIM) coupled between the PCB and the heatframe, and at least one thermal via extending through the PCB and coupled to the TIM, wherein the assembly is configured to transfer heat from the PCB to the chassis through the TIM and the at least one thermal via.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to a heatsink and a method for forming a heatsink. In one embodiment, a method for forming the heatsink includes forming at least one thermo pyrolytic graphite element. The at least one TPG element includes a first side having a wedge-shaped surface and a second side having a flat surface. The method further includes layering a metal material over the at least one TPG element, the metal configured to be complementary to the first side of the at least one TPG element, and applying pressure to fasten the metal material to the at least one TPG element.
Abstract:
A heat exchange apparatus having a housing that includes a first region and a second region, and a wall separating the first region from the second region, is disclosed. The second region includes a fluid flow entry port and a fluid flow exit port to define a fluid flow path, and a heat exchanger exposed to the fluid flow path. The heat exchanger includes first and second portions in thermal communication with each other, where the first portion is disposed at the first region and the second portion is disposed at the second region. The fluid flow path is isolated from the first region and provides for the removal of heat from the first region.
