Abstract:
A heat-dissipation device with dust-disposal function for removing dust from cooling metallic fins is provided, which includes a heat-conducting module and a vibrator. The heat-conducting module has a plurality of metallic fins, and the vibrator is directly or indirectly connected to the heat-conducting module to provide a vibrating source for the metallic fins, such that the dust accumulated on the metallic fins is shook off by vibration. The vibrator may be a piezoelectricity element or an eccentric motor. In addition, the vibrator may be an ultrasonic generator disposed near the heat-conducting module to provide a non-contact vibrating source for the metallic fins.
Abstract:
A protective cover with a heat-conductive medium of a heat sink apparatus is provided, which is used to cover and protect the heat-conductive medium placed at the bottom surface of a base of the heat sink apparatus. It includes a sheet-like board, an elastic wall, and an accommodation chamber, wherein the sheet-like board is concave and located at one side of the protective cover with the heat-conductive medium; the elastic wall is extended along the edge of the sheet-like board so as to provide a clipping force for clipping with the heat sink apparatus; and the accommodation chamber is formed by the concave portion of the sheet-like board to mask and cover the heat-conductive medium; while the sheet-like board is clipped to the heat sink apparatus through the elastic wall, such that the accommodation chamber is used to mask and cover the heat-conductive medium.
Abstract:
A motor overcurrent protection device connectable to a motor. The motor has a rotary shaft and a controlling port. The motor overcurrent protection device includes a sensing unit, a driving unit and a controlling unit. The sensing unit includes a magnetic block arranged on a circumference of the rotary shaft and a Hall device positioned beside the rotary shaft. The magnetic block is rotatable along with the rotary shaft to be instantaneously aligned with the Hall device. The driving unit is electrically connected with the controlling port of the motor. The controlling unit is electrically connected with the sensing unit and the driving unit. When the motor operates, each time the magnetic block is aligned with the Hall device, the Hall device outputs a pulse signal which is stored in the controller of the controlling unit. All the pulse signals are summed up in a preset sensing time of the controller. In the case that the sum does not exceed a standard rotational speed value, the controlling unit via the driving unit will stop the motor from operating so as to protect the motor from malfunctioning due to rising of current.
Abstract:
An integrated heat sink device, which is utilized to dissipate the heat generated by heat-generating elements with different angles of radiation surface (for instance, CPU and display chip are with radiation surfaces at 180° and 90°), is provided. The integrated heat sink device comprises a thermal module and a fan module; wherein the thermal module further comprises a first heat conduction module, a fin set, and a second heat conduction module; wherein the fan module, its vent connects with the fin set in an air-tight manner in order to form a heat-dissipating channel; and the first and second heat conduction modules are with different angles of heat connected surfaces so that the invention of the integrated heat sink device can dissipate the heat generated by heat-generating elements with different angles of radiation surface.
Abstract:
This invention is a data processing/visualization method which includes the software development and operation to apply to any multi-dimensional separation. The GC-MS analysis of diesel is an example to demonstrate this software development and operation. The steps of this method includes (1) displaying the total ion chromatogram obtained from a GC-MS experiment, (2) displaying each mass spectrum versus retention time, (3) selecting a normal paraffin family as the reference compound family for relative polarity display, (4) transforming every mass slice to line-up normal paraffin compound family in the same relative retention time (position), (5) rotating the axis to best display the two (multi) dimensional data.
Abstract:
The invention provided a heatsink thermal module with noise improvement, which has a heatsink thermal module additionally consisting of a heat pipe, a heatsink fins set and a fan module; the fan module is combined with the heatsink fins set which consists of multiple heatsink fins with different lengths and is combined to the fan module with its end with a special geometric shape having the function of lowering the wind drag; by lowering the wind drag, not only the heat dissipation efficiency can be increased, but the noise caused by the heatsink thermal module can also be improved.
Abstract:
A rotating display to present images includes a transmission/support mechanism installed on a column of a building, an annular display unit installed around the column, supported and driven by the transmission/support mechanism, a contact power supply unit installed on the column, a control unit provided inside the display unit, and an angle encoding unit between the column and the display unit. Using the foregoing elements, a rotating display can be formed on a column of a building. Image signals are transmitted wirelessly to the control unit to light up the light-emitting modules on the display unit. Due to the visual persistence in human vision, a 360-degree panoramic image can be produced, thus decorating the building column or playing commercials.
Abstract:
