Abstract:
A heat dissipation device includes a retention module, a heat sink, a locking plate and a clip rotatably connecting with the retention module. The retention module includes an opening in a center thereof. The heat sink includes a heat conducting body and plurality of fins radially extending from the heat conducting body. The heat conducting body has a bottom portion received in the opening of the retention module. The locking plate engages with the bottom portion of the heat conducting body of the heat sink. The locking plate has a first portion abutting a bottom of the retention module, and a second portion opposite to the first portion. The second portion is pressed by a pressing portion of the clip when the heat dissipation device is at a locked position.
Abstract:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structure for an integrated circuit constructed on a substrate of a first type is provided to includes a plurality of island-like distributed diffusion regions. The protection structure includes a semiconductor controlled rectifier (SCR), an MOS transistor and a plurality of island-like distributed diffusion regions of the first type. The semiconductor controlled rectifier is constructed on the base region and coupled to the integrated circuit. The SCR includes a first region of a second type formed next to the base region, a second region of the first type formed in the first region, and a third region of the second type formed in the base region. The MOS transistor has a drain coupled to the bonding pad or a VDD bus, and a gate and a source both coupled to a reference ground. The plurality of island-like distributed diffusion regions of the first type are formed in the base region and each is coupled to the reference ground.
Abstract:
A heat sink assembly includes a socket secured on a printed circuit board, an integrated circuit secured on the socket, a heat sink disposed on the integrated circuit, and a resilient retainer clip biasing the heat sink to engage with the socket. An anti-electromagnetic wave device includes a leg engaged with the printed circuit board and a head engaged through a lug of the socket and engaged with one arm of the resilient retainer clip for dissipating the electromagnetic wave that may be transmitted to the integrated circuit.
Abstract:
A warning method and system for detecting lane-changing condition of rear-approaching vehicles are disclosed, in which the method comprises the steps of: detecting rear-view images of an ego-vehicle so as to be used for defining three regions of interest (ROI) corresponding respectively to a lane to the left of the ego-vehicle, a lane to the right of the ego-vehicle, and a lane where the ego-vehicle is travelling thereon; detecting whether there is any direction light that is flashing to be used as basis for determining whether there is any vehicle approaching from the rear that is expected to be a potential threat to the ego-vehicle; and if so, issuing an alarm signal to the driver of the ego-vehicle for reminding the same to aware the distance between the ego-vehicle and the rear-approaching vehicle. Thereby, the driver's road environment awareness is enhanced and consequently the safety of driving can be improved.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for single-image-based rain streak removal are introduced herein. In this method and apparatus, an original image is decomposed into a high frequency part and a low frequency part, and the high frequency image is then decomposed into a rain part and a non-rain part. The non-rain high frequency image and the original low frequency image are used to produce a non-rain image.
Abstract:
An illumination device for plants includes a lighting unit mounted on a lamp seat and including a cold cathode fluorescent lamp and a light emitting diode (LED) unit. A driving unit is mounted to the lamp seat, is coupled to the cold cathode fluorescent lamp and the LED unit, and is operable so as to drive the cold cathode fluorescent lamp and the LED unit such that the cold cathode fluorescent lamp and the LED emit respectively color lights having respective wavelengths. A dimming unit is coupled to the driving unit, and is operable so as to output a dimming output to the driving unit. The driving unit drives the cold cathode fluorescent lamp and the LED unit based on the dimming output from the dimming unit so that the color light emitted by each of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp and the LED unit has a respective light intensity.
Abstract:
A heat dissipation device (100) comprises a heat sink (10) and a fan (40) mounted on the heat sink (10). The heat sink (10) comprises a central core (12), a plurality of branches (122) radially extending outwardly from a periphery of the core (12) and a plurality of fins (14) extending from of the core (12) and the branches (122). The fan (40) comprises a plurality of blades (404). The branches (122) and the fins (14) extend and are oriented in a direction opposite to a rotation direction of the blades (404) of the fan (40).
Abstract:
A cooling fan (100) includes a frame (10), a circuit board (20) and a rotor (30). The frame includes a housing (12) and a plate (14) connecting with the housing. The circuit board is mounted on the plate. The rotor is received in the housing and includes a hollow hub (32) and a plurality of blades (38) extending from the hub. A plurality of light emitting diodes (40) is mounted on the circuit board. When the rotor rotates, each LED projects light towards the rotor and to the frame so that the light will be reflected and deflected by the fan whereby the whole fan glows and produces a fantastic visual effect.
