Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Lighting systems having unique configurations are provided. For instance, the lighting system may include a light source, a thermal management system and driver electronics, each contained within a housing structure. The light source is configured to provide illumination visible through an opening in the housing structure. The thermal management system is configured to provide an air flow, such as a unidirectional air flow, through the housing structure in order to cool the light source. The driver electronics are configured to provide power to each of the light source and the thermal management system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A thermal management system comprising: a heat sink including: a base; and a plurality of fins extending from the base; and a synthetic jet device attached to the heat sink, the synthetic jet device configured to generate and project a series of fluid vortices out therefrom and toward the plurality of fins of the heat sink; wherein the synthetic jet device is attached to one or more of the plurality of fins to secure the synthetic jet device t…
