摘要:
An apparatus for supplemental cooling of a docked mobile device that includes a docking module having a docking interface that provides a communication connection for a separable mobile device having several heat generating electronic components that emanate heat when the separable mobile device is in an operating mode. In addition, the separable mobile device has an integrated heat sink structure that spreads the heat emanating from the operating heat generating electronic components across the entire heat sink structure. An air mover is integrated into the docking module to provide a volume of air flow that is directed to the separable mobile device while it is docked to the docking module. Accordingly, an air mover controller receives a first signal from an input sensor and therein controls the air mover to modulate the volume of air flow according to a predetermined tolerance corresponding to the heat generating electronic components.

A peripheral electronic device (106) can be equipped with a coupler, which in one embodiment is a mechanical coupler (136). A radio-frequency interface (108) allows a radio-frequency transceiver (110) of one electronic device to take advantage of one or more antennas (1101,1102,1103,1104) disposed within the peripheral electronic device (106). For example, the radio-frequency interface (108) can increase the matrix channel order by making the at least some additional MIMO antennas available for usage by the radio-frequency transceiver (110). The mechanical coupler can be configured to allow a camera or display of an inserted device to add image data functionality as well.

A communication system is provided that allows a user to exchange a stream of data with a user computer device via a capacitive touchscreen of the device. The communication system includes a user's data input device having a capacitive user interface and a user computer device having a capacitive touchscreen. When the capacitive user interface of the data input device and the capacitive touchscreen of the user computer device are in sufficient to proximity to each other, an inter-device capacitance is created over which exchanging a stream of data may be exchanged between the data input device and the user computer device.

The substrate (10) has a first side (12) and a second side (14) and includes an insert material (16) having a first thermal conductivity (24) in a first direction (25) and having a second thermal conductivity (26) in a second direction (27). A plurality of vias (30) are formed in the second direction through the insert material and an encapsulant material (18) surrounds the insert material. When an electronic component (22) is disposed on the first side, heat (25) from the electronic component is conducted in the first direction by the insert material and is conducted in the second direction through the plurality of vias.
摘要:
A user computer device is provided that comprises a temperature sensitive touchscreen having a temperature sensitive user interface comprising multiple thermal energy emitter/detector devices, such as thermocouples. The multiple thermal energy emitter/detector devices are capable both of detecting thermal energy and emitting thermal energy. The temperature sensitive user interface generates thermal patterns that may be transferred to other thermally sensitive electronic devices or that may be used to authenticate the user computer device. The user computer device also can detect and thermally communicate with a thermal energy docking station and, based on thermal recognition, activate applications displayed on the temperature sensitive touchscreen. Further, the user computer device can auto-bias a temperature of the temperature sensitive user interface in order to better assure proper operation of the temperature sensitive user interface in all operating conditions.
