Fyo re <<ever heard of IsoSkin?>>

Your link does not work but this seems to bo nothing more than a integrated heat sink and heat pipe. Not sure what parts makes this "patentable".

The patent says <<...vaporizing the fluid from the planar capillary path in the hot region, condensing the fluid in the non-capillary region in the cool region>>

Take the word "planar" out of that phrase and you have the text book definition of a heat pipe. Planar is just a gemetry of this setup.

<<Vacuum isn't exactly known for its wonderful thermal conductivity ;) >>

Yes, but conduction plays no rule here, convection does :)

Re <<Anything really new in it or is this pretty much what is going on in notebooks right now?>>

Nothing really new, as you say this is pretty much what is happening in notebooks now and what has been happening in other fields like aerospace for tens of years.
