Patent ID: 7836940

Claim:
An apparatus for transferring heat with a target, the apparatus including a body, wherein the body defines: a surface for coupling the target with the body, wherein heat transfers between the target and the body when the target is coupled with the body; an inlet port, wherein the inlet port is configured to: receive a fluid; and direct the fluid into a plurality of inlet manifold passages; the plurality of inlet manifold passages, wherein the plurality of inlet manifold passages are configured to: receive the fluid from the inlet port; and direct the fluid to a plurality of heat transfer passages; the plurality of heat transfer passages, wherein the plurality of heat transfer passages are configured to: receive the fluid from the plurality of inlet manifold passages; direct all of the fluid from the inlet manifold passages in one or more directions substantially parallel to the surface and substantially perpendicular to the plurality of input manifold passages; and direct the fluid to a plurality of outlet manifold passages, wherein heat transfers between the body and the fluid when fluid flows through the plurality of heat transfer passages; the plurality of outlet manifold passages, wherein the plurality of outlet manifold passages are configured to: receive the fluid from the plurality of heat transfer passages; and direct the fluid to an outlet port; and an outlet port, wherein the outlet port is configured to: receive the fluid from the plurality of outlet manifold passages; and output the fluid.
