International Classification:

H05K 7/20

US Classification:

361700000, 165080400

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a multi-processor system board has at least a first processor installed on the system board and at least a first liquid cooling system configured to provide dedicated cooling for the first processor. A second processor may be installed on the system board and a second liquid cooling system may be configured to provide dedicated cooling for the second processor. In some examples, a liquid cooling system includes a tank, a first heat exchanger attached to a first side of the tank, and a second heat exchanger attached to a second side of the tank opposite to the first side of the tank. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

International Classification:

G06F 1/16

US Classification:

36167909

Abstract:

In various embodiments, a transparent hinged substrate apparatus integrated nto a portable computer may address common deficiencies associated with space limitations on student desktop surfaces. The transparent hinged substrate apparatus may utilize, in some embodiments, a transparent substrate that is positioned between the display side and the keypad side of a portable computer. The transparent hinged substrate apparatus may be movable into multiple positions including one position that covers the keypad side of the portable computer without touching any of the keys of the keypad. Thus, the keypad surface may now be used as a work surface using the same physical space occupied by the portable computer.
