Abstract:
An apparatus includes multiple thermal interface segments collectively forming a discontinuous thermal interface configured to contact a curved surface of an object. The discontinuous thermal interface is configured to transfer thermal energy to or receive thermal energy from the curved surface of the object. Each of the thermal interface segments includes a major surface that is curved. The curved major surface of each of the thermal interface segments is configured to register with the curved surface of the object and has a specified area that is based on a Hertzian contact area defined partially by the curved surface of the object. The apparatus can also include a thermal gap pad configured to be compressed between the thermal interface segments and the object.

Claim (Index 13):
The system of  claim 10 , wherein:\n the major surface of each of the thermal interface segments comprises an outer major surface; and the apparatus is configured to expand the thermal interface segments to register the outer major surfaces of the thermal interface segments against the curved surface of the object.
