1. An enclosure, comprising:
- an outer casing having one or more walls; and
a synthetic jet assembly configured to dissipate heat from the one or more walls and comprising;
a bracket operatively coupled to the one or more walls of the outer casing; and
two or more synthetic jets operatively coupled to the bracket such that the two or more synthetic jets are spaced apart from a surface of one or more walls of the outer casing, wherein the two or more synthetic jets are arranged in a multi-dimensional synthetic jet array;
wherein the two or more synthetic jets are positioned between an outer surface of a respective wall of the outer casing and the bracket; and
wherein the outer casing further comprises an extended surface disposed on at least one of the one or more walls of the outer casing.

5. A ruggedized enclosure, the enclosure comprising:
-
an outer casing having an outer surface and one or more walls and comprising; an extended surface disposed on at least one of the one or more walls of the outer casing; a synthetic jet assembly configured to dissipate heat from the extended surface, wherein the synthetic jet multiple-planes assembly is disposed adjacent to the extended surface, and comprising; a bracket coupled to the at least one of the one or more walls; one or more synthetic jets operatively coupled to the bracket such that the one or more synthetic jets are disposed adjacent to the outer surface of the outer casing and are spaced apart from the outer surface of the outer casing; and a housing configured to operatively couple the one or more synthetic jets to the bracket. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

16. A method for dissipating heat from one or more walls of an enclosure, the method comprising:
-
mounting a synthetic jet assembly adjacent to an extended surface of the enclosure that is disposed on at least one of the one or more walls of the enclosure, wherein mounting the synthetic jet assembly adjacent to the extended surface comprises; operatively coupling a bracket to the enclosure; and operatively coupling one or more synthetic jets to the bracket such that the one or more synthetic jets are spaced apart from an outer surface of the enclosure and arranged in a synthetic jet stack; wherein the synthetic jet stack is coupled to the bracket so as to be positioned between an outer surface of a respective wall of the enclosure and the bracket; generating a fluid jet from the one or more synthetic jets; and directing the fluid jet towards the one or more walls of the enclosure to dissipate the heat from the one or more walls.
