Claim 20:
21. A heat-transfer component comprising:
a thermal-interface surface comprising a first region having an outer periphery and a second region surrounding the outer periphery of the first region;
a volume of composite thermal-interface material contained within the outer periphery of the first region, the composite thermal-interface material comprising a silicone oil substrate and a metallic filler comprising gallium, the metallic filler having a solid-to-liquid transition temperature between about 10° C. and about 95° C., wherein the composite thermal-interface material has been screen printed to define a pixelated array on the thermal-interface surface; and
a volume of second thermal-interface material within the second region, wherein a composition of the composite thermal-interface material differs from a composition of the second thermal-interface material, wherein the second thermal-interface material is positioned outward of the composite thermal-interface material, defining a gap between the composite thermal-interface material and the second thermal-interface material.
