Abstract: Techniques involving management of a heat transfer device are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes a housing, a heat-generating device disposed within the housing, and a heat transfer device disposed within the housing. The heat transfer device has a powered active cooling device. The device also includes one or more modules that are configured to adjust operation of the powered active cooling device based on a likely orientation of the heat transfer device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are computing devices, and methods of manufacturing computing devices, that have a cooling fan and integrated thermal transfer unit. A centrifugal fan unit includes a rotatable hub, a plurality of blades disposed on the rotatable hub, and a motor coupled to the rotatable hub. The motor causes the rotatable hub to rotate about an axis such that airflow proceeds outward from the centrifugal fan unit along trajectories that are perpendicular to the axis. One or more thermal transfer units have first portions that are coupled to the one or more heat sources and second portions that collectively at least partially surround the centrifugal fan unit.

Abstract: Sounds sensed by a microphone of a device include sounds from a cooling fan of the device that varies based on the speed of the cooling fan, and other sounds used by a program of the device such as voice inputs. The sound level of sounds used by the program is determined, and the speed of the fan is adjusted so that a desired cooling level is attained while keeping the fan speed low enough that the noise from the fan does not interfere with the sounds used by the program.
