Calibrating thermal behavior of electronics

Title: Calibrating thermal behavior of electronics

A method includes determining a relationship between indirect thermal data for a processor and a measured temperature associated with the processor, during a calibration process, obtaining the indirect thermal data for the processor during actual operation of the processor, and determining an actual significant temperature associated with the processor during the actual operation using the indirect thermal data for the processor during actual operation of the processor and the relationship.

Cooled electronic system with thermal spreaders coupling electronics cards to cold rails

Patent Chainer, Timothy J ; Gaynes, Michael A ; Graybill, David P ; Iyengar, Madhusudan K ; Kamath, Vinod ; Kochuparambil, Bejoy J ; Schmidt, Roger R ; Schultz, Mark D ; Simco, Daniel P ; Steinke, Mark E

Liquid-cooled electronic systems are provided which include an electronic assembly having an electronics card and a socket with a latch at one end. The latch facilitates securing of the card within the socket or removal of the card from the socket. A liquid-cooled cold rail is disposed at the one end of the socket, and a thermal spreader couples the electronics card to the cold rail. The thermal spreader includes first and second thermal transfer plates coupled to first and second surfaces on opposite sides of the card, and thermally conductive extensions extending from end edges of the plates, whichmore »« less

Apparatus for measuring resistance change only in a cell analyzer and method for calibrating it

Patent Hoffman, Robert A.

The disclosure relates to resistance only monitoring and calibration in an electrical cell analyzer. Sample and sheath fluid flows of different salinities are utilized, the sample flow being diameter modulated to produce a selected pattern which is compared to the resistance measured across the flows.
