Patent attributes
An apparatus includes a housing, at least one heat-generating electrical module, and at least one fan. The housing includes a floor and at least one sidewall extending around the floor's perimeter. A first sidewall end section defines an air intake port and a second sidewall end section defines a first air exhaust port. The floor includes two noncoplanar floor portions and a transition portion interconnecting them. The transition portion defines a second air exhaust port. The heat-generating module(s) are positioned over the floor portions. Inside surfaces of the floor portions together with external surfaces of the heat-generating module(s) define at least one air flow channel therebetween. The fan or fans are positioned proximate the air intake port and operable to draw air into the housing through the intake port. The fan or fans force the indrawn air through the air flow channel(s) and out the air exhaust ports.
