Abstract:
1. A thermal management device, comprising: a synthetic jet ejector which operates at a variable operating characteristic selected from the group consisting of a frequency and an amplitude; a microphone which provides audio feedback to the thermal management device based on operation of said synthetic jet ejector, said audio feedback generated by the operation of said synthetic jet ejector; a controller adapted to modify the variable operating characteristic of the synthetic jet ejector based on receiving said audio feedback; and a programming bus, in communication with said controller, which provides programming instructions to said controller, wherein the programming instructions are modifiable to reduce said audio feedback generated by the operation of said synthetic jet ejector; wherein said programming bus is in communication with, and is programmable over, a communications network, and wherein said synthetic jet ejector dissipates heat from a heat source by directing a synthetic jet onto or across a surface of the heat source.
