Abstract: A cooling mechanism includes a first heat exchanger, a first fluid-flow port, and a second fluid-flow port. The first heat exchanger includes a forced-fluid driver to pump heat from inside an enclosed area to outside of the enclosed area. The first fluid-flow port accommodates a first fluid flow into the enclosed area and the second fluid-flow port is configured to accommodate a second fluid flow from the enclosed area. Note that the first fluid-flow port and the second fluid-flow port are approximately coplanar. In addition, a given fluid-flow port is tapered to have an associated cross-sectional area which is smaller at an edge of the given fluid-flow port that is proximate to the outside of the enclosed area than at an edge of the given fluid-flow port that is proximate to the inside of the enclosed area.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to optimizing airflow in a computer system. By modifying the external surface of centrifugal cooling fan enclosures the pressure drop associated with airflow moving around the enclosures can be reduced. This is generally accomplished by rounding off hard edges from the outside of the cooling fan enclosure as well as forming cover surfaces rather than simply using flat cover surfaces. In some cases this can also involve modifying the shape of the fan inlet, or even contouring the shape of the cooling fan blades to allow air to flow more easily through the computer enclosure.
Abstract translation: 所描述的实施例一般涉及优化计算机系统中的气流。 通过改变离心冷却风扇外壳的外表面,可以减少与围绕外壳移动的气流相关联的压降。 这通常通过从冷却风扇外壳的外部四舍五入硬边缘以及形成盖表面而不是简单地使用平的盖表面来实现。 在某些情况下,这也可能涉及修改风扇入口的形状,或者甚至使冷却风扇叶片的形状成形,以使空气更容易流过计算机外壳。

Abstract: An optical coating includes multiple layers of different materials and thicknesses and is disposed proximate a transparent display cover for an electronic device display. The optical coating transmits most visible light, reflects most non-visible light and substantially absorbs blackbody radiation generated from within the electronic device. The optical coating can be readily removable from the electronic device display either alone or in combination with a removable transparent display cover. The multiple layers comprise two or more materials having alternating low and high indices of refraction. The arrangement and thicknesses of the layers are designed based upon the thickness and optical properties of the transparent display cover. in another embodiment, an internal optical coating. The internal optical coating can also be specially formulated to replace a typical internal anti-reflective coating proximate the visual display unit.

Abstract: An electronic device (10) such as a portable computer may be provided with a lower housing (12B) and an upper housing (12A). The electronic device may include hinge structures (20) which allow the upper housing to rotate about a rotational axis relative to the lower housing. The electronic device may include a ventilation port structure (40A, 40B, 40C) with intake openings that allow air to be drawn into the electronic device. The ventilation structure may also include exhaust openings that are used to expel air from the lower housing. When the electronic device is in an open position, it may be desirable for the ventilation structure to form more exhaust openings than when the electronic device is in a closed position. The ventilation structure may form lower exhaust openings when the electronic device is in the closed position and form upper and lower exhaust openings when the electronic device is in the open position.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a current machine state of a processing device, predicting a future processing task to be performed by the processing device at a future time, and predicting a list of intervening processing tasks to be performed by a first time (e.g. a current time) and the start of the future processing task. The future processing task has an associated initial state. A feed-forward thermal prediction model determines a predicted future machine state at the time for starting the future processing task. Heat mitigation processes can be applied in advance of the starting of the future processing task, to meet the future initial machine state for starting the future processing task.
