Title: Bernardo Hernandez: Innovator in Thermal Interposer Technology
Introduction
Bernardo Hernandez is a notable inventor based in Norwalk, CT (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of thermal management with a focus on high efficiency thermal interposers. With a total of 5 patents to his name, Hernandez continues to push the boundaries of innovation in his field.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a high efficiency thermal interposer. This invention comprises a first hollow disk and a second hollow disk, held together by thermally isolating fasteners. The design ensures that the disks do not touch one another. In an illustrative embodiment, the first disk serves as the low temperature disk portion, while the second disk acts as the high temperature disk portion of the heat shield. The space between the disks is filled with small thermally conductive particles, such as stainless steel spheres, which are in thermal contact with the high temperature disk but not with the low temperature disk. The thermal interposer includes mechanisms for introducing cold jets of air into the cavity containing the particles, circulating the air, and allowing the air to exit the cavity to carry away heat. This innovative thermal interposer is compact, lightweight, and capable of achieving a temperature drop that enables high-powered HAT devices to be used alongside temperature-sensitive electronic orientation means, such as robotic arms.
