MODULAR COMPUTER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019898 titled 'MODULAR COMPUTER SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a modular computer system consisting of a chassis, a graphics processing module, and a cooling module. The chassis includes a slot, a controller, and a heat pipe. The cooling module includes a frame and a fan to dissipate heat from the controller. The graphics processing module includes a frame, a graphics processing unit, and a heat pipe, along with a fan to dissipate heat from both the graphics processing unit and the controller.
- The modular computer system consists of a chassis, a graphics processing module, and a cooling module.
- The chassis includes a slot, a controller, and a heat pipe.
- The cooling module includes a frame and a fan to dissipate heat from the controller.
- The graphics processing module includes a frame, a graphics processing unit, and a heat pipe.
- The graphics processing module also includes a fan to dissipate heat from both the graphics processing unit and the controller.
Potential applications of this technology:
- High-performance gaming computers
- Graphic design workstations
- Video editing systems
- Virtual reality systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient cooling of the graphics processing unit and controller
- Modular design allows for easy upgrades and customization

- Flexibility to upgrade or replace individual modules
- Compact design saves space and reduces clutter
- Simplified assembly and maintenance process
Original Abstract Submitted
one variation of a modular computer system includes: a chassis; a graphics processing module; and a cooling module. the chassis: defines a slot; includes a controller; and a first heat pipe coupled to the controller. the cooling module includes: a first frame configured to transiently couple the chassis to locate the cooling module within the slot; and a first fan configured to couple the first heat pipe to dissipate heat transferred from the controller. the graphics processing module includes: a second frame configured to transiently couple the chassis to locate the graphics processing module within the slot; a graphics processing unit configured to electronically couple the controller; a second heat pipe coupled to the graphics processing unit; and a second fan configured to couple the first heat pipe and the second heat pipe to dissipate heat transferred from the graphics processing unit and the controller.
