    摘要: Technologies for managing hot spots in a compute device with use of a vortex tube are disclosed. Cold air from one or more vortex tubes can be routed to hot spots of one or more compute devices, providing effective spot cooling. This approach may allow for cooling of components that might otherwise be difficult to cool, such as components where would be difficult or impossible to cool with a heat sink. This approach may also be effective in cooling components that are downstream of a heat sink and would otherwise only be cooled by air that was already heated by the heat sink.

    摘要: In an example, a computing device is disclosed in which processing elements and other active devices may generate thermal irregularities such as hot spots on the casing of a computing device. In some cases, these hot spots may be undesirable from a comfort and usability standpoint or because they may result in thermal damage to system components. To remediate thermal irregularities, including hot spots, a localized depression may be provided in a casing or chassis to enlarge the air gap between the heat source and the bottom casing around the hot spot, so that the bottom casing skin temperature at the hot spot can be lowered with the increased air gap. A heat spreader may also be disposed above the localized depression to better distribute heat over a surface area. In some cases, ribbing may be provided to provide structural support to a heat spreader disposed over a localized depression.

    摘要: In one example a docking mat for an electronic device comprises a first major surface on which the electronic device may be positioned, a wireless power transmitting device, and a controller comprising logic, at least partly including hardware logic, to determine a location of the electronic device on the first major surface of the docking mat, establish a communication connection with the electronic device, receive at least one charge parameter from the electronic device, and activate the wireless power transmitting device in response to a determination that the electronic device is positioned proximate the wireless power transmitting device and the at least one charge parameter indicates that the electronic device is in a condition to receive power from the wireless power transmitting device. Other examples may be described.

    摘要: A universal power adapter may be provided to provide both a wireless charging signal and a DC signal for wired charging. The universal power adapter may include an AC/DC converter device, a first power circuit, a second power circuit, and a jack to provide a wireless charging signal and a DC signal. The AC/DC converter device to provide a DC signal based on an AC signal received from an external power source. The first power circuit to receive the DC signal and to provide a wireless charging signal based on the DC signal. The second power circuit to receive the DC signal and to provide a DC signal based on the DC signal. The jack may provide both the wireless charging signal and the DC signal.
