THERMAL MITIGATION IN A PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE BY ACTIVE HEAT TRANSFER TO A DOCKING DEVICE

Abstract:

A PCD may include an active heat transfer system configured to transfer heat from the PCD to a docking device. The active heat transfer system may include a thermoelectric cooler, a heat pipe, or other heat transfer elements. The active heat transfer system may, based on temperature measurements, be activated when the PCD is coupled to the docking device.
