Centrifugal Blower With Non-Uniform Blade Spacing

US Patent:
8398380, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Sep 2, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/552857
Inventors:
Connor Raymond Duke - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
F04B 35/04
US Classification:
4174101, 419203, 419500, 361695
Abstract:
A centrifugal blower in a cooling system of an electronic device having non-uniform blade spacing with acceptable balance. The non-uniform blade spacing is determined according to specific repeating sinusoidal patterns to obtain acoustic artifacts that are favorable and balance that is similar to that found with equal fan blade spacing. The fan impeller can include a prime number of fan blades to prevent higher harmonic interaction among noise sources. The perceived sound quality from the fan is improved with essentially no effect on the thermal performance of the fan.

Multi-Channel Active Control System And Methods For The Reduction Of Tonal Noise From An Axial Fan

US Patent:
2011004, Feb 24, 2011
Filed:
Aug 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/675714
Inventors:
Connor R. Duke - Sunnyvale CA, US
Scott D. Sommerfeldt - Mapleton UT, US
Kent L. Gee - Provo UT, US
International Classification:
G05D 19/00
G06N 3/12
G05B 13/04
US Classification:
700280, 706 13, 700 29, 700286
Abstract:
A method of optimizing placement of a control source relative to a noise source includes establishing a first pool of constructive chromosomes, each constructive chromosome defining a potential spatial position for the control source in an acoustic space and each constructive chromosome including a plurality of constructive genes having a value-based value that represents an ordinate related to the potential spatial position. A second pool of constructive chromosomes is established by manipulating the value-based values of constructive genes from at least a portion of the plurality of constructive chromosomes of the first pool to create a plurality of modified constructive chromosomes, and evaluating a fitness characteristic of at least some of the constructive chromosomes from the first pool and/or at least some of the constructive chromosomes from the second pool. A portion of the constructive chromosomes are eliminated from the first and/or second pools based on the fitness characteristic.

Fan Inlet And Method

US Patent:
2011018, Aug 4, 2011
Filed:
Jan 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/696920
Inventors:
Jesse T. Dybenko - Cupertino CA, US
Frank Liang - San Jose CA, US
Brett W. Degner - Menlo Park CA, US
Peteris K. Augenbergs - San Francisco CA, US
Connor R. Duke - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
F04D 17/08
B23P 15/00
US Classification:
415203, 29888024
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to improve air flow in an air circulating fan assembly by forming an inlet opening in a fan assembly. A static air pressure profile is calculated along a top portion of the fan assembly configured to operate in an enclosure. The shape of a section of the inlet opening in the top portion of the fan assembly is changed based on a pressure contour of the calculated static air pressure profile. The method is repeated iteratively one or more times using an inlet opening changed by a previously calculated static air pressure profile when calculating a subsequent static air pressure profile. The inlet opening is positioned in the top surface of the fan assembly so that the centroid of the inlet opening is laterally offset with respect to the rotational axis of an impeller in the fan assembly.

Compact Fan Assembly With Thrust Bearing

US Patent:
2012022, Sep 6, 2012
Filed:
Sep 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/238488
Inventors:
Brett W. DEGNER - Menlo Park CA, US
Cheng P. Tan - Fremont CA, US
Con D. Phan - Milpitas CA, US
Connor R. Duke - Sunnyvale CA, US
Frank F. Liang - San Jose CA, US
Jesse T. Dybenko - Cupertino CA, US
Keith J. Hendren - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
F04D 29/058
B23P 15/00
F04D 29/052
US Classification:
4151741, 29888025
Abstract:
A fan assembly for a computing device is disclosed. The device can include an impeller having a number of blades and a motor for turning the blades. The motor can turn the blades via a magnetic interaction between the impeller and the motor. A thrust bearing can be used to control a position of the impeller relative to the motor. In particular, the impeller can be configured to rotate around an axis and the thrust bearing can be used to control movement of the impeller in a direction aligned with the axis. In one embodiment, the impeller can be configured to generate aerodynamic forces, such as lift, and the parameters associated with the thrust bearing can be selected to counteract the aerodynamic forces so that the impeller remains within a desired positional range relative to the motor.

Centrifugal Blower With Asymmetric Blade Spacing

US Patent:
2012032, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Aug 29, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/598585
Inventors:
Connor R. DUKE - Sunnyvale CA, US
Jesse T. DYBENKO - Cupertino CA, US
Assignee:

Acoustically Quiet Capacitors

US Patent:
2014007, Mar 20, 2014
Filed:
Aug 1, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/957342
Inventors:
Jeffrey M. THOMA - Mountain View CA, US
Connor R. DUKE - Sunnyvale CA, US
Yanchu XU - San Jose CA, US
Nelson J. KOTTKE - Cupertino CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
H01G 4/01
H05K 13/04
B23K 26/22
H05K 1/18
US Classification:
174260, 361303, 22818021, 228176, 21912164
Abstract:
The described embodiments relate generally to printed circuit boards (PCBs) including a capacitor and more specifically to designs for mechanically isolating the capacitor from the PCB to reduce an acoustic noise produced when the capacitor imparts a piezoelectric force on the PCB. Conductive features can be mechanically and electrically coupled to electrodes located on two ends of the capacitor. The conductive features can be placed in corners where the amplitude of vibrations created by the piezoelectric forces is relatively small. The conductive features can then be soldered to a land pattern on the PCB to form a mechanical and electrical connection while reducing an amount of vibrational energy transferred from the capacitor to the PCB.
