STORAGE DEVICE AND COOLING SYSTEM OF THE STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17984382 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE AND COOLING SYSTEM OF THE STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a storage device with a cooling unit designed to guide a flow of cooling material to the memory controller. The cooling unit consists of a housing, a guide member, and a pump. The housing covers the memory controller and has two points, one on each side. The guide member is attached to the housing and directs the flow of cooling material from one point to the other. The pump is responsible for adjusting the amount of cooling material flowing between the two points.

  • The storage device includes a memory device, memory controller, and cooling unit.
  • The cooling unit consists of a housing, guide member, and pump.
  • The housing covers the memory controller and has two points, one on each side.
  • The guide member is attached to the housing and directs the flow of cooling material.
