摘要:
A memory module having a packaging cover to encapsulate a board having multiple separate chips, which dynamically generating varying amounts heat. The packaging cover provides localized heat dissipation among the multiple separate memory chips. The separate chips are interconnected to the board via a set of solder balls. The packaging cover further provides a rigid encapsulation of the board and chips. In one embodiment, the memory module includes a thermally conductive substance displaced within the packaging cover to conduct heat from the separate chips to the packaging cover. In one embodiment, the packaging cover consists of a plastic material having a sheet of metal coupled to an interior surface of the packaging cover. In one embodiment, the packaging cover includes two separate covers, with a first cover having an insert pin, and a second cover having an insert receptacle to receive the insert pin. In an alternative embodiment, the first cover of the packaging cover includes a set of clip snaps to secure a coupling between the first cover and a second cover of the packaging cover.

An electronic device can be provided with a first housing at least partially containing a first electronic component, a second housing, and a hinge assembly coupled to the first housing and the second housing. The hinge assembly may be configured to dissipate heat generated by the first electronic component away from the first housing. In some embodiments, the hinge assembly may be configured to dissipate heat generated by the first electronic component away from the first housing and on to the second housing. The second housing may include a heat spreader for dissipating the heat from the hinge assembly throughout the second housing.

A system includes a power source and a heat-shield mechanism which encloses the power source. This heat-shield mechanism includes a 3-dimensional housing that defines a cavity in which the power source resides, and a plate that is positioned to cover an opening to the cavity that is defined by an edge of the housing. Note that the housing contains three layers in which a second layer is sandwiched between a first layer and a third layer. This second layer has a first anisotropic thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the plate includes a material having a second anisotropic thermal conductivity.
