A cooling device includes a ceramic substrate with a metal layer bonded to an outer planar surface. The cooling device also includes a channel layer bonded to an opposite side of the ceramic substrate and a manifold layer bonded to an outer surface of the channel layer. The substrate layers are bonded together using a high temperature process such as brazing to form a single substrate assembly. A plenum housing is bonded to the single substrate assembly via a low temperature bonding process such as adhesive bonding and is configured to provide extended manifold layer inlet and outlet ports.

A method for making a magnetic component is provided. The method comprises providing a core with one or more ridges protruding from one or more surfaces of the core, depositing one or more electrically conductive materials on the core, and removing at least a portion of the one or more ridges to form one or more continuous conductors wound around the core. Each of the one or more continuous conductors defines at least one insulating gap. Further, a magnetic component and methods for making the magnetic component are also presented.

A lamp having a lighting source, integral electronics, and a thermal distribution mechanism disposed in a housing. The thermal distribution mechanism may include a For example, the lamp may include a thermal shield between the lighting source and the integral electronics. The lamp also may have a forced convection mechanism, such as an air-moving device, disposed adjacent the integral electronics. A heat pipe, a heat sink, or another conductive heat transfer member also may be disposed in thermal communication with one or more of the integral electronics. For example, the integral electronics may be mounted to a thermally conductive board. The housing itself also may be thermally conductive to conductively spread the heat and convect/radiate the heat away from the lamp.

An apparatus for cooling at least one heated surface includes a base plate defining a number of inlet and outlet manifolds. The inlet manifolds are configured to receive a coolant, and the outlet manifolds exhaust the coolant. The inlet and outlet manifolds are interleaved. The apparatus also includes at least one substrate having inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface is coupled to the base plate and defines a number of microchannels that receive the coolant from the inlet manifolds and deliver the coolant to the outlet manifolds. The microchannels are oriented substantially perpendicular to the inlet and outlet manifolds. The outer surface is in thermal contact with the heated surface. The apparatus also includes an inlet plenum that supplies the coolant to the inlet manifolds, and an outlet plenum that exhausts the coolant from the outlet manifolds. The inlet plenum and outlet plenum are oriented in a plane of the base plate.

An X-ray localizer light system comprises: a long life X-ray localizer light source; an optical concentrator, the light source being situated at a first focal spot, the optical concentrator being configured for concentrating X-ray localizer light from the light source to a second focal spot; and an opaque shield having an aperture therein situated proximate to the second focal spot and being of such a geometrical shape so as to maximize light throughput while meeting light field edge contrast requirements. In another light system, the optical concentrator comprises a reflector comprising a quasi-ellipsoidal portion within which the light source is situated, a cylindrical portion situated between the quasi-ellipsoidal portion and the shield for reflecting stray light, a back reflector portion situated proximate to the shield, and a centrally-mounted portion situated between the aperture and the light source for directing back-reflected light in the direction of the aperture.
