Abstract
An active cooling system is described. The active cooling system includes at least one cooling element that has a vent therein and is in communication with a fluid. The cooling element(s) are actuated to vibrate to drive the fluid toward a heat-generating structure and to alternately open and close at least one virtual valve corresponding to the vent. The virtual valve is open for a low flow resistance and closed for a high flow resistance. The vent remains physically open for the virtual valve being closed.
