    摘要: Disclosed are systems and methods for cooling electronic devices. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a cooling system includes providing a core having open, fluid channels on a first core side; providing a cover configured to cover the channels, and the cover further configured to couple to the core to form a leak proof seal. In some embodiments, a leak proof seal can be obtained through an interference fit. In certain embodiments, a leak proof seal can be obtained through a thermal fitting. In one embodiment, the core is shrank through cooling and then placed inside the cover. In some embodiments, the cover is expanded through heating and the core is placed inside the cover. In certain embodiments, the core is a metal core printed circuit board. In one embodiment, an electro-osmotic pump, a gas accumulator, and a heat exchanger can be operationally coupled to the channels.

    摘要: In a method of manufacturing an electronic device, a substrate including a plurality of bonding pads on a first surface thereof is provided. Solder members are attached on the plurality of bonding pads respectively. An airflow control cover is positioned on the first surface of the substrate above the solder members, the airflow control cover including a plurality of vapor passage holes that allows air to flow toward the solder members. The substrate on which the airflow control cover is positioned is loaded into a vapor generating chamber that accommodates a heat transfer fluid therein. The heat transfer fluid is heated to place the heat transfer fluid in a vapor state within the chamber. The solder members are soldered by supplying the heat transfer fluid in the vapor state to surfaces of the solder members through the vapor passage holes of the airflow control cover.

    摘要: A gift card system and method for purchasing both physical and digital gift cards at a kiosk, both physical and virtual, is disclosed. The system/method includes a gift card distribution kiosk located at a retail establishment or online that provides a user with access to a multitude of different forms of gift cards that may be purchased and printed onto a customizable card with a personalized message. The kiosk includes a kiosk processor interface, a gift card dispenser, a card reader and gift card management server connected to a network. The gift card management server, through the kiosk processor interface, provides vendor options to users to select and pay via the card reader. The kiosk may be used to redeem unused user gift cards for a reduced value user selected gift card, reduced cash value, full value store card, rewards points, bank debit, and/or electronic code user towards online purchases.
