Techniques and apparatus for controlling the temperature of a personal communication structure (PCS)

摘要

Techniques for operating a personal communication structure (PCS) are described. In particular, a temperature control system for controlling the temperature of a PCS is described. The temperature control system may include a ribbed heat sink and first and second air circulation controllers. The heat sink may be coupled to the PCS's frame, adjacent to the back surface of a housing for a display module. The first air circulation controller may be configured to recirculate air in a cavity within the display module's housing. The second air circulation controller may be configured to move ambient air across the heat sink.

主权项

1. A personal communication structure (PCS) comprising:
a PCS frame; a housing coupled to the PCS frame, the housing enclosing a display panel in a cavity; and a temperature control system for controlling a temperature within the PCS, the temperature control system comprising:
a ribbed heat sink coupled to the PCS frame, the heat sink being disposed adjacent to a back surface of the housing, a first portion of the heat sink comprising a first plurality of fins extending into the cavity, and a second portion of the heat sink comprising a second plurality of fins disposed outside the cavity,a first air circulation controller configured to recirculate air across the first plurality of fins in the cavity, anda second air circulation controller configured to move ambient air across the second plurality of fins of the heat sink.
