Claim 6:
7. A method comprising:
using an energy-moving device (EMD) to transfer heat between a low-temperature-rated device (LTRD) and a high-temperature-rated device (HTRD), wherein the LTRD is thermally separated from the HTRD such that the LTRD is not stacked above the HTRD;
using a temperature-controlling device (TCD) to actively transfer heat between the LTRD and the EMD;
using an air-moving device (AMD), comprising a fan, to generate an air stream for transferring heat from the EMD to ambient air;
using a controller to receive temperature information about the ambient air, the LTRD, and the HTRD; to determine when heat should be removed from the LTRD, when heat should be added to the LTRD, and when no heat needs to be transferred to or from the LTRD; and to determine a first voltage for the TCD and a second voltage for the AMD based on the received temperature information; and
using a neural network to learn how particular values for the first voltage and the second voltage should be updated based on how effectively those particular values have performed to bring the LTRD within its normal operating range of temperatures in the past.
