Abstract:
A heat sink includes a plurality of metal fins interconnected together. Each metal fin includes a main plate, a flange extending forwardly from the main plate and an interlocking unit formed on the flange. The interlocking unit includes an engaging ear and a hook. The ear extends rearwards from a rear edge of the flange and defines a locking hole therein. The flange defines a cutout adjacent to a front edge thereof. The cutout is aligned with the ear and recessed rearwards from the front edge of the flange. The hook extends forwardly from the flange and is located within the cutout. The ear of a fin is engaged in the cutout of an adjacent rear fin. The hook of the adjacent rear fin is engaged in the locking hole of the engaging ear of the fin.
Abstract:
A mounting device (10) for mounting a heat sink (20) to a printed circuit board (40) on which a heat generating electronic component (30) is disposed, includes a mounting frame (100), two clasping legs (104) and four resilient arms (105). The mounting frame includes two first mounting arms (101) and two second mounting arms (102) disposed above the first mounting arms. The first mounting arms abut on the circuit board. The clasping legs connect with the second mounting arms and are inserted through the printed circuit board to be attached to the printed circuit board. The resilient arms connect with the second mounting arms and exert a downward resilient force on the heat sink toward the heat generating electronic component.
Abstract:
A heat dissipation device includes a heat sink and a cooling fan arranged thereon. The cooling fan includes a motor-stator and an impeller mounted around the motor-stator. The motor-stator is arranged on a middle of the heat sink. The heat sink includes a base and a plurality of fins extending upwardly from the base. The heat sink defines a plurality of notches incising the fins. The notches are angled towards the middle of the heat sink immediately under the motor-stator of the cooling fan.
Abstract:
A system that activates a muscle to produce a functional movement in a subject through electrical stimulation is described. During operation, the system first obtains a non-isometric model which defines a functional movement associated with the muscle in response to electrical stimulation of the muscle. Next, the system uses the non-isometric model to compute an electrical stimulation which produces a desired functional movement in the subject. The system then applies the computed electrical stimulation to the muscle to produce the desired functional movement in the subject.
Abstract:
An LED lamp (100) includes a lamp enclosure (10) and two LED modules (30). The lamp enclosure has a concave housing (11). The housing includes an elongated bottom plate (111) and two lateral plates (115) extending upwardly from two opposite lengthwise sides of the bottom plate respectively. An opening (156) is defined at a top side of the lamp enclosure. The LED modules each are mounted at a joint between the bottom plate and a corresponding of the lateral plates in such a manner that at least a portion of lights emitted by the LED modules is firstly directed to and reflected by an internal surface of the bottom plate, and then directed to an outside through the opening.
Abstract:
A thermal mass flow measuring apparatus comprises a sheath having an interior surface and a protective exterior surface. A liquid material having a thermal conductivity greater than about 12 w/(m·° C.) is disposed within the sheath in contact with the interior surface of the sheath. A sensor element, such as a thin-film thermoresistive element or a wire-wound thermoresistive element is at least partially submerged in the liquid material. The liquid material, which is preferably liquid metal, decreases the overall thermal resistance between the outer surface of the sheath and the sensor element.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for modulating calcium channels. In particular, the present invention provides methods and compositions for modulating (e.g., disrupting) Cav1.3a calcium channels for research and therapeutic methods (e.g., treating dopaminergic diseases and conditions).
Abstract:
A video compression scheme enables the user to select one of many video compression formats, including the widely-used standard video formats such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.263. In one embodiment, the scheme is implemented as a hardware-software combination, with the hardware portion, preferably implemented as an ASIC chip, performing the core compression and the software portion dealing with the detailed formatting. In another embodiment, a 32-bit aligned transitional data format is used.
