A heatsink with an air-partitioning baffle. In one embodiment, the heatsink comprises a plurality of fins defining a plurality of channels, an inlet channel that is at least partially defined by the plurality of fins and extends across the plurality of channels, and a baffle at least partially within the inlet channel. The baffle is configured to direct a first fluid flow, such as warm air, from a first portion of the plurality of channels and to direct a second fluid flow, such as cooling air, through at least one inlet of the inlet channel to a second portion of the plurality of channels.

Systems according to the present disclosure provide one or more surfaces that function as power radiating surfaces for which at least a portion of the radiating surface includes or is composed of fractal cells placed sufficiently closed close together to one another so that a surface wave causes near replication of current present in one fractal cell in an adjacent fractal cell. The fractal cells may lie on a flat or curved sheet or layer and be composed in layers for wide bandwidth or multibandwidth transmission. The area of a surface and its number of fractals determines the gain relative to a single fractal cell. The boundary edges of the surface may be terminated resistively so as to not degrade the cell performance at the edges. The fractal plasmonic surfaces can be utilized to facilitate electrical conduction with lower ohmic resistance than would otherwise be possible in the absence of the fractal plasmonic surface(s) at the same temperature.

A tight-fit riveting structure for a clustered radiation fin set and a heat pipe and a riveting method include a radiation fin set formed by locking a plurality of radiation fins together and at least one heat pipe. The radiation fin set has an accommodation slot for accommodating the heat pipe. The heat pipe is positioned in the accommodation slot for a tight fit by subjecting two sides of the accommodation slot of the radiation fin set to a riveting operation. First riveting and deforming portions defined on two sides of a communication mouth of the accommodation slot are riveted towards a surface of the heat pipe, which causes the deformation of the first riveting and deforming portions whereby the heat pipe is clamped in a tight fit manner.

A lost wax cast vapor chamber device is provided. Once a mesh is produced, a meltable core is formed from a meltable core material with the mesh positioned at least partially inside the core. Over the meltable core a metallic layer is formed, at least partially surrounding the meltable core. A chamber formed by the metallic layer is exposed by melting the meltable core to cause it to be removed from an internal void of the chamber, the internal void encapsulating the mesh. The melted material from the meltable core flows out an opening on at least one surface of the chamber. Subsequently, the internal void is filled at least partially with a working fluid and the opening is closed. The mesh supports the surfaces of the chamber against deformation under the vacuum of the internal void. Movement of working fluid by capillary action is facilitated by the mesh.

A cooler includes: a narrow flow path that has a narrow cross-sectional area; a wide flow path that is connected to a downstream side of the narrow flow path, is in thermal contact with a heating body, and has a wide cross-sectional area; and at least one rectifying piece that is provided in an upstream portion of the wide flow path that is an upstream side from a position being in thermal contact with the heating body. A fluid refrigerant flows through the narrow flow path and the wide flow path, and heat generated by the heating body is radiated. The rectifying piece includes: a single first angle portion that protrudes toward the upstream side; and a first surface and a second surface that join at an acute angle to form the first angle portion.

Systems according to the present disclosure provide one or more surfaces that function as heat or power radiating surfaces for which at least a portion of the radiating surface includes or is composed of fractal cells placed sufficiently closed close together to one another so that a surface (plasmonic) wave causes near replication of current present in one fractal cell in an adjacent fractal cell. A fractal of such a fractal cell can be of any suitable fractal shape and may have two or more iterations. The fractal cells may lie on a flat or curved sheet or layer and be composed in layers for wide bandwidth or multibandwidth transmission. The area of a surface and its number of fractals determines the gain relative to a single fractal cell. The boundary edges of the surface may be terminated resistively so as to not degrade the cell performance at the edges.

A gas cooler includes a pair of seal plates and a pair of first support ribs. The individual seal plate has a stepped surface which extends in a direction that a cooling portion is inserted into a casing. The individual first support rib supports the stepped surface. With the configuration where the stepped surface is supported by the first support rib, the inside of the casing is partitioned into an upstream-side space communicated with an introducing port and a downstream-side space communicated with a discharging port.

A heat sink comprising pin fins extending from a base plate of the heatsink. Some of the pin fins are angled outwardly towards an outer edge of the base plate such that the tips of some of the pin fins may extend beyond the outer edge of the base plate. The distance the outer pin fins extend beyond the outer edge of the base plate can correspond to a maximum diameter of the heatsink. The maximum diameter of the heatsink can be greater than the diameter of the base plate of the heatsink.
