Patent ID: 8599551

Claim:
A cooling system implemented within a device, the cooling system comprising: a heat sink to absorb heat that is generated by a component of the device, where the heat sink includes: a first heat sink base to dissipate the heat, and a first plurality of fins via which the heat, that is dissipated by the first heat sink base, is transferred; and an inverted heat sink to receive the heat via the first plurality of fins, where the inverted heat sink includes: a second heat sink base to ensure that a portion of the heat, that transfers into an environment in which another component associated with the device is located, does not cause a temperature, associated with the environment, to increase to a first level that is greater than a first threshold, one or more heat pipes to transfer another portion of the heat, that does not transfer into the environment, to a portion of the second heat sink base, and a second plurality of fins to: receive the other portion of the heat via the portion of the second heat sink base, and transfer the other portion of the heat to another environment to prevent a temperature, associated with the component, from increasing to a second level that is greater than a second threshold.
