Abstract:
The present disclosure further contemplates a system and method that cools metal core printed circuit boards by circulating a liquid coolant so that it contacts the base metal of the metal core printed circuit board. In one example the present disclosure contemplates a direct liquid cooled MCPCB system that may include a liquid cavity creating component coupled to the base plate of a MCPCB allowing a liquid coolant to come into contact with the base plate of the MCPCB for cooling of the MCPCB. The direct liquid cooled MCPCB system may minimize thermal bottlenecks between the electrical components and the cooling fluid while reducing the number of components required in previous liquid cooled electronics systems.

Abstract:
In this method, a vertical stack is formed on an axis coinciding substantially with the gravity direction and comprising, from top to bottom: the element; the mass in a solid state; and the substrate. The mass is then heated so as to cause it to pass into a liquid state enabling it to spread on the substrate. More particularly, after the stack has been formed, the element is left free to move vertically, and during heating, variation in the vertical position of the element is measured.
