The United States Patent and Trademark Office has begun to review Apple's invention records that describe many new technologies for cooling systems, designed to dissipate notebook heat and keep its operation stable at an appropriate temperature. One of them describes the implementation of airflow sensors in these computers, so that the operating system adjusts its internal cooling and makes better use of the ventilation of the environment, using less energy.
In addition, a special type of cooling system was discovered in another patent application, which would use peripheral connection ports (such as USB, FireWire or Ethernet) as an air outlet on portable computers. This would allow the hot air to escape from them at a much higher speed, reducing the time they would operate at a very high temperature.
According to other inventions that are under review in the USA, more advanced methods for cooling notebooks would include the use of specific accessory bases, as well as the use of thermoelectric components. cited, for example, the use of the Peltier effect, a physical phenomenon that generates a reduction in temperature through the passage of electric current through two metals of different densities.
