ADVANCED CONVECTIVELY-COOLED INDUCTIVE CHARGING
First Claim
1. An information handling system (IHS) comprising:
- a portable power source;
IHS electronics that are powered by the portable power source;
a receiver coil to magnetically receive power from a transmitter coil that is located within a proximate range of the receiver coil;
a power control module connected to the portable power source and the receiver coil to charge the portable power source with received power from the receiver coil;
a flexible ferrite shield that is positioned on a side of the receiver coil opposite to a location of the transmitter coil to shield the IHS electronics;
a pneumatic diaphragm comprising a portion of the flexible ferrite shield that is positioned for oscillating movement into a center cavity of the receiver coil; and
a diaphragm actuator attached to the pneumatic diagram and which responds to a triggering signal to oscillate the pneumatic diaphragm to disperse thermal energy that is generated by the receiver coil.

Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) includes a base station that has a transmitter coil to generate a magnetic field for charging a portable power source of a battery-powered electronic device. A receiver coil magnetically receives power from the transmitter coil of the base station. A power control module connected to the portable power source and the receiver coil charges the portable power source with the received power. A flexible ferrite shield is positioned on a side of the receiver coil opposite to the transmitter coil to shield the IHS electronics. A pneumatic diaphragm is formed by a portion of the flexible ferrite shield that is positioned for oscillating movement into a center cavity of the receiver coil. A diaphragm actuator is attached to the pneumatic diagram and is responsive to a triggering signal to oscillate the pneumatic diaphragm to disperse thermal energy that is generated by the receiver coil.
