Collector electrodes and ion collecting surfaces for electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerators
InactiveUS20100155025A1Reduce volume and massThinner and lighterSemiconductor/solid-state device detailsSolid-state devicesIonElectric field
Embodiments of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fluid accelerator devices utilize collector electrode structures that promote efficient fluid flow and reduce the probability of arcing by managing the strength of the electric field produced at the forward edges of the collector electrodes. In one application, the EHD devices dissipate heat generated by a thermal source in a thermal management system.

Electrostatic precipitator pre-filter for electrohydrodynamic fluid mover
InactiveUS20120000627A1Improve filtering effectFacilitate compellingIndirect heat exchangersExternal electric electrostatic seperatorPre filteringElectric arc
Electrostatic precipitation is performed upstream of collector electrode surfaces toward which a downstream EHD fluid mover accelerates fluid flow. In this way, the upstream electrostatic precipitator (ESP) acts as a pre-filter (with low flow-impedance) and can reduce accumulation of otherwise detrimental materials on downstream electrodes and / or arcing. In some cases, pre-filtering by an upstream electrostatic precipitator may also reduce accumulation of otherwise detrimental materials on downstream heat transfer surfaces and / or ozone catalytic or reactive surfaces / materials. In some embodiments, an EHD fluid mover with an ESP pre-filter is used in a thermal management system to dissipate heat generated by a thermal source.

In a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, an LED PCB with the reflection layer formed on surface thereof is installed at an upper side of the LED array and a reflection plate extends such that it sufficiently covers the lower portion of the LED array to thus make light emitted from the light source incident to its maximum level, thus coping with the reduction in the quantity of light resulting from making the LCD device thinner. The LCD device includes: a liquid crystal panel; an LED array supplying light to the liquid crystal panel; a light guide plate installed in a direction in which the LED outputs light, and guiding light; a reflection plate formed between the LED array and a lower portion of a lower cover; and an LED PCB attached to an upper portion of the lower cover at an upper side of the LED array and having a reflection layer formed at a side facing the light guide plate. Because an existing LED housing reflector is removed, a cost and processing time can be reduced and an assembling process is simplified to improve a defective rate and production yield.

Spatially distributed ventilation boundary using electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerators
InactiveUS20100116460A1Reduce volumeReduce the total massDigital data processing detailsAir heatersFlow resistivityEngineering
In thermal management systems that employ EHD devices to motivate flow of air through an enclosure, spatial distribution of a ventilation boundary may facilitate reductions in flow resistance by reducing average transit distance for cooling air from an inlet portion of the ventilation boundary to an outlet portion. Some thermal management systems described herein distribute a ventilation boundary over opposing surfaces, adjacent surfaces or even a single surface of an enclosure while providing a short, “U” shaped, “L” shaped or generally straight through flow path. In some cases, spatial distributions of the ventilation boundary facilitate or enable enclosure geometries for which conventional fan or blower ventilation would be impractical. In some cases, provision of multiple portions of the ventilation boundary may allow the thermal management system to tolerate blockage or occlusion of a subset of the inlet and / or outlet portions and, when at least some of such portions are non-contiguous spatially-distributed, tolerance to a single cause of blockage or occlusion is enhanced.
