To cool heat-emitting electronic components, a compact, non-moving-parts compressor, an evaporator in juxtaposition to the electronic components and a condenser are mounted as a unit, preferably within a vacuum can. A heat exchanger is mounted external to the can but in proximity to the condenser. The foregoing comprise a unit which may be detachably connected to a host pump and heat exchanger. The unit may be removed from the system of which it is a part for upgrade and maintenance. All its components are thermally isolated from the ambient atmosphere to prevent water vapor condensation corrosion.

A electro-desorption compression system according to the present invention comprises an enclosure which includes first and second spaced-apart electrical conductors, a sorbent which is positioned in the enclosure between the first and second conductors, a sorbate which is capable of combining with the sorbent in an adsorption reaction to form a sorbate/sorbent compound, a power supply which is connected to the first and second conductors and which generates an electrical current that is conducted through the sorbate/sorbent compound to desorb the sorbate from the sorbent in a desorption reaction, and a pressure chamber which is connected to the enclosure and which receives the sorbate from the enclosure during the desorption reaction and releases the sorbate into the enclosure during the adsorption reaction. The adsorption and desorption reactions are repeated to cycle the sorbate between a relatively low pressure state during the adsorption reaction and a relatively high pressure state during the desorption reaction. Furthermore, the desorption reaction is substantially non-thermal.

An electro-desorption actuator comprises a fixed member, a movable member which is coupled to the fixed member, a pressure chamber which is disposed between the fixed member and the movable member, and a sorption compression system which is in communication with the pressure chamber. The sorption compression system comprises first and second electrical conductors, a sorbent which is positioned between the first and second conductors, a sorbate which is capable of combining with the sorbent in an adsorption reaction to form a sorbate/sorbent compound, and a power supply which is connected to the conductors and which is selectively actuated to generate a current that is conducted through the sorbate/sorbent compound to desorb the sorbate from the sorbent in a desorption reaction. The sorbate is communicated from the sorption compression system to the pressure chamber during the desorption reaction and from the pressure chamber back to the sorption compression system during the adsorption reaction. Thus, during the desorption reaction a relatively high pressure is created in the pressure chamber which will displace the movable member in one direction, and during the adsorption reaction a relatively low pressure is created in the pressure chamber which will displace the movable member in the opposite direction.

A system for cooling at least two electronic components comprises a plurality of graphitic foam products which are each thermally coupled to a corresponding component, a plurality of housings which are each mounted over a corresponding foam product and which each comprise an inlet and an outlet, a source of cooling fluid, and a conduit which is connected between the fluid source and each inlet. In operation, fluid is communicated from the fluid source to each housing through the conduit to thereby cool the components.

The adsorption and desorption reactions are repeated to cycle the sorbate between a relatively low pressure state during the adsorption reaction and a relatively high pressure state during the desorption reaction.

A low permeability hose system for providing an impermeable length of tube to transfer fluids that is flexible. The low permeability hose system generally includes a hose defining a fluid passage and an impermeable layer attached to the exterior surface of the hose. The impermeable layer is comprised of an aluminum coated heat sealable film that is impermeable to both liquids and gases. A protective layer may be attached to the impermeable layer to protect the impermeable layer from damage.

An integrated circuit and associated method for reducing total signal propagation delay as well as power consumption and thermal dissipation. The integrated circuit comprises a plurality of active layers coupled together in close proximity. In order to produce the integrated circuit, at least two active layers are removed from their respective substrate after integrated circuit processing. Some of the methods that may be used include Silicon on Insulator ("SOI") and epitaxial etch stop ("EES") processes. After removal of the active layers, at least one via is implemented on a bottom surface of each active layer in order to establish a mechanical and electrical connection between the via and its associated metal interconnects. Thereafter, the active layers are coupled together by ultrasonic welding or through nitride lamination using Titanium Nitride for conductive regions and Silicon Nitride for insulative regions.

An integrated digital light modulator. In one embodiment, a light beam is split into a set of binary weighted beams which are then individually switched on or off by an optical switch. The weighted beams which are conveyed by the optical switches are then recombined to produce a modulated beam. In this manner, a fast inexpensive integrated digital light modulator may be advantageously obtained. Broadly speaking, the present invention contemplates a digital optical power modulator that comprises a binary power divider and an optical modulator. The binary power divider is configured to receive an input light beam and split it into a set of weighted beams. The optical powers of the weighted beams are related in that the ratio of the optical powers of any two weighted beams is substantially an integer power of two. The optical modulator receives the set of weighted beams from the binary power divider and receives a digital signal. The optical modulator is configured to convey weighted beams that correspond to asserted bits in the digital signal. The present invention may further include an optical combiner coupled to receive the weighted beams from the optical modulator and configured to combine the weighted beams to produce a modulated beam having a discrete optical power. A lookup table may be included to convert a desired digital power value into the digital signal provided to the optical modulator.
