    摘要: The present invention is a thermal interface for coupling a heat source to a heat sink. One embodiment of the invention comprises a mesh and a liquid, e.g., a thermally conductive liquid, disposed in the mesh. The mesh and the thermally conductive liquid are adapted to contact both the heat source and the heat sink when disposed therebetween. In one embodiment, the mesh may comprise a metal or organic material compatible with the liquid. In one embodiment, the liquid may comprise liquid metal. For example, the liquid may comprise a gallium indium tin alloy. A gasket may optionally be used to seal the mesh and the liquid between the heat source and the heat sink. In one embodiment, the heat source is an integrated circuit chip.

    摘要: A thermal interface for IC chip cooling is provided. One embodiment of the thermal interface includes a thermally conductive liquid or paste-like metal(s) disposed within a flexible, thermally conductive enclosure. The enclosure is adapted to be placed between an IC chip and a heat sink to enhance heat transfer from the chip to the heat sink, thereby enabling quicker and more efficient cooling of the chip than can be achieved by conventional techniques. In several embodiments, the thermal interface is held in place by mechanical pressure rather than by bonding, which further facilitates inspection and repair of the IC device.

    摘要: Electrical contact to the front side of a photovoltaic cell is provided by an array of conductive through-substrate vias, and optionally, an array of conductive blocks located on the front side of the photovoltaic cell. A dielectric liner provides electrical isolation of each conductive through-substrate via from the semiconductor material of the photovoltaic cell. A dielectric layer on the backside of the photovoltaic cell is patterned to cover a contiguous region including all of the conductive through-substrate vias, while exposing a portion of the backside of the photovoltaic cell. A conductive material layer is deposited on the back surface of the photovoltaic cell, and is patterned to form a first conductive wiring structure that electrically connects the conductive through-substrate vias and a second conductive wiring structure that provides electrical connection to the backside of the photovoltaic cell.

    摘要: A solar energy collection system includes a reference member, a support member rotatably mounted relative to the reference member, and a drive system operatively coupled between the reference member and the support member. The drive system includes a linear actuator having a fixed portion operatively connected to the reference member and a strut portion that is selectivity extendable relative to the fixed portion. The strut portion includes an end section. A first connector member is operatively connected between the reference member and the end section of the strut portion, and a second connector member is operatively connected between the support member and the end section of the strut portion. Selective extension and retraction of the strut portion relative to the fixed portion selectively shifts the support member along a desired path.
