`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`The invention relates to a cooling system for a computer
`system, said computer system comprising at least one unit
`such as a central processing unit (CPU) generating thermal
`energy and said cooling system intended for cooling the at
`least one processing unit and comprising a reservoir having
`an amount of cooling liquid, said cooling liquid intended for
`accumulating and transferring of thermal energy dissipated
`from the processing unit to the cooling liquid. The cooling
`system has a heat exchanging interface for providing ther(cid:173)
`mal contact between the processing unit and the cooling
`liquid for dissipating heat from the processing unit to the
`cooling liquid, Different embodiments of the heat exchang(cid:173)
`ing system as well as means for establishing and controlling
`a flow of cooling liquid and a cooling strategy constitutes the
`invention of the cooling system.

`REEXAMINATION CERTIFICATE
`
`THE PATENT IS HEREBY AMENDED AS
`INDICATED BELOW.
`
`Matter enclosed in heavy brackets [ ] appeared in the
`patent, but has been deleted and is no longer a part of the
`patent; matter printed in italics indicates additions made
`to the patent.
`
`AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN
`DETERMINED THAT:
`
`10
`
`2
`2 4. The cooling system of claim 10, wherein the one or
`more passages include a plurality of passages positioned
`within the reservoir that opens into the thermal exchange
`chamber.
`25. The cooling system of claim 12, wherein an entire
`surface of the heat-exchange interface in contact with the
`cooling liquid in the reservoir forms a boundary wall of the
`thermal exchange chamber.
`26. The cooling system of claim 10, wherein the reservoir
`further includes an inlet configured to direct the cooling
`liquid into the reservoir and an outlet configured to dis(cid:173)
`charge the cooling liquid from the reservoir.
`2 7. The cooling system of claim 15, wherein the pump
`15 chamber and the thermal exchange chamber are fluidly
`coupled together by one or more passages, the one or more
`passages including a passage configured to direct cooling
`liquid from the pump chamber directly into the thermal
`exchange chamber.
`28. The cooling system of claim 15, wherein the pump
`chamber and the thermal exchange chamber are fluidly
`coupled together by a plurality of passages positioned
`within the reservoir that open into the thermal exchange
`chamber.
`29. The cooling system of claim 15, wherein an entire
`surface of the heat-exchanging interface in contact with the
`cooling liquid in the reservoir forms a boundary wall of the
`thermal exchange chamber.
`30. The cooling system of claim 15, wherein the pump
`chamber and the thermal exchange chamber are fluidly
`coupled together by one or more passages, and the reservoir
`further includes an inlet configured to direct the cooling
`liquid into the reservoir and an outlet configured to dis(cid:173)
`charge the cooling liquid from the reservoir.
`
`The patentability of claims 1-18 is confirmed.
`New claims 19-30 are added and determined to be
`patentable.
`19. The cooling system of claim 1, wherein the one or
`more passages include a passage configured to direct cool(cid:173)
`ing liquid from the pump chamber directly into the thermal 20
`exchange chamber.
`20. The cooling system of claim 1, wherein the one or
`more passages include a plurality of passages positioned
`within the reservoir that opens into the thermal exchange
`chamber.
`21. The cooling system of claim 1, wherein an entire
`surface of the heat-exchanging interface in contact with the
`cooling liquid in the reservoir forms the boundary wall of
`the thermal exchange chamber.
`22. The cooling system of claim 1, wherein the reservoir
`further includes an inlet configured to direct the cooling
`liquid into the reservoir and an outlet configured to dis(cid:173)
`charge the cooling liquid from the reservoir.
`23. The cooling system of claim 10, wherein the one or
`more passages include a passage configured to direct cool-
`ing liquid from the pump chamber directly into the thermal
`exchange chamber.
