| 20080296757 | Fluid spreader - A fluid spreader includes a first surface, wherein the first surface has at least one channel that continuously or discontinuously extends to an outer periphery of the first surface, allowing fluid to flow easily and thereby reducing the thickness of the fluid between the fluid spreader and another device or component. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090025910 | Vapor chamber structure with improved wick and method for manufacturing the same - A vapor chamber structure includes a casing, a working fluid, and an improved wick layer. The casing has an airtight vacuum chamber. The working fluid is filled into the airtight vacuum chamber. The wick layer is formed on a surface of the airtight vacuum chamber. Therefore, the present invention can increase the backflow velocity of the working fluid and improve the boiling of the working fluid due to the match of the improved wick structure. Because the backflow velocity and boiling of the working fluid is increased, the heat-transmitting efficiency is increased. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090040726 | Vapor chamber structure and method for manufacturing the same - A vapor chamber structure includes a casing, a working fluid, a wick layer, a plurality of structure strengthening bodies, and a plurality of backflow accelerating bodies. The casing has an airtight vacuum chamber. The working fluid is filled into the airtight vacuum chamber. The wick layer is formed on a surface of the airtight vacuum chamber. The structure strengthening bodies are respectively arranged in the airtight vacuum chamber for supporting the casing. The backflow accelerating bodies are respectively arranged in the airtight vacuum chamber for increasing the backflow velocity of the working fluid. Therefore, the present invention can maintain the completeness of the vapor chamber structure and increase the backflow velocity of the working fluid due to the match of the structure strengthening bodies and backflow accelerating bodies. Because the backflow velocity of the working fluid is increased, the heat-transmitting efficiency is increased. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090145581 | Non-linear fin heat sink - A non-linear fin heat sink is provided for dissipating/removing heat uniformly from a device, where the heat generation is non-uniform over that device, while also providing a small and relatively lightweight heat sink. The heat sink has extended surface protrusions that are optimally shaped in recognition of convective heat transfer, conductive heat transfer, and flow resistance allowing the heat sink to offset the temperature rise of a coolant media and provide enhanced cooling for the coolant temperature, deliver optimized cooling efficiency per the local physical properties of the coolant media, be used with a fluid for effectuating heat transfer; either liquid coolant, gas coolant or a combination thereof. Furthermore the heat sink features turbulence enhancement of the coolant stream by a pin array through which coolant stream passes, such fin array featuring a non-linear shape, spacing, and height pattern to provide optimal cooling while simultaneously reducing volume and flow resistance. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100307003 | VAPOR CHAMBER STRUCTURE WITH IMPROVED WICK AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A vapor chamber structure includes a casing, a working fluid, and an improved wick layer. The casing has an airtight vacuum chamber. The working fluid is filled into the airtight vacuum chamber. The wick layer is formed on a surface of the airtight vacuum chamber. Therefore, the present invention can increase the backflow velocity of the working fluid and improve the boiling of the working fluid due to the match of the improved wick structure. Because the backflow velocity and boiling of the working fluid is increased, the heat-transmitting efficiency is increased. | 12-09-2010 |
