Patent ID: 7957140

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a component capable of generating heat; an external wall with an interior surface; an air mover to be positioned to generate a directed airflow between the interior surface of the external wall and the component; and a vent formed within the external wall to provide an entrained airflow that is combined with the directed airflow to create a combined airflow between the interior surface and the component, wherein the vent is positioned in relation to the air mover to deflect at least a portion of the heat from the component from reaching the external wall, the vent includes a louvered portion to extend from the interior surface of the external wall and is formed as a fixed part of the external wall, the component includes an electronic component and a fan; and wherein the fan provides a relatively large portion of the airflow and the air mover dilutes the airflow with the entrained airflow from the vent.
