Abstract
An electronic device thermal management system comprising a thermal management controller configured to maintain a temperature level within a housing of an electronic device based on a signal indicative of a temperature of at least a portion of a wall of the housing of the electronic device.
Claims5
An electronic device thermal management system, comprising:
- a thermal management controller configured to maintain a temperature level within a housing of an electronic device below a predetermined temperature based on at least one continuous signal indicative of a temperature of at least a portion of an external wall of the housing of the electronic device, wherein the controller is configured to adjust a performance level of at least one component based on a prioritization of components within the housing based on the temperature of the external wall.
An electronic device thermal management system, comprising:
- a thermal management controller configured to maintain a temperature level within a housing of an electronic device below a predetermined temperature based on at least one continuous signal indicative of a temperature of at least a portion of an external wall of the housing of the electronic device, wherein the controller adjusts a baffling system based on the temperature of the external wall.
A thermal management method, comprising:
- maintaining a temperature level within a housing of an electronic device below a predetermined threshold based on at least one continuous signal indicative of a temperature of at least a portion of an external wall of the housing of the electronic device;
- and
- adjusting a baffling system based on the temperature of at least a portion of the external wall.
An electronic device thermal management system, comprising:
- a means for maintaining a temperature level within a housing of an electronic means below a predetermined threshold temperature based on at least one continuous signal means indicative of a temperature of at least a portion of an external wall of the housing of the electronic means;
- and
- at least one means for measuring a temperature disposed on the external wall of the electronic means, wherein the maintaining means positions a baffling means based on the temperature of the external wall of the housing.
