Abstract:
The present invention provides a heat-dissipating device and a method for manufacturing the same. The heat-dissipating device includes a heat sink and a heat pipe. The heat sink has an end surface provided with a groove. The heat pipe is received in the groove. The heat pipe has a heat-absorbing surface and a heat-conducting surface. The heat-conducting surface is adhered to the inner edge of the groove. The heat-absorbing surface is in flush with the end surface. With this arrangement, heat resistance of the heat-dissipating device is reduced to improve the heat-dissipating effect thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a heat-dissipating device including a heat sink and a heat pipe. The heat sink has an end surface provided with a trough. The trough has an open side and a closed side. The heat pipe has a heat-absorbing surface and a heat-conducting surface corresponding to the open side and the closed side respectively. The heat-conducting surface and the heat-absorbing surface are not brought into contact with the heat sink. The heat is directly absorbed by the heat pipe and then conducted to the heat sink for dissipation. With this arrangement, heat resistance of the heat-dissipating device is reduced to improve the heat-dissipating effect thereof.

Abstract:
A control device for coupling with a shaft of a window blind and controlling rotation of the shaft includes first and second ratchet seats, a spool assembly operable to rotate in unwinding and winding directions, a tubular case, an output unit coupled with the shaft, and a transmission unit operable to be shifted between a transmitting state to have a torque transmitted to the output unit, and a non-transmitting state to interrupt the torque transmission. Each ratchet seat has a surrounding groove and teeth. Balls are rollably engaged in the surrounding groove and the spool assembly for permitting rotation of the first ratchet seat with the spool assembly in the unwinding direction, and not to rotate the first ratchet seat in the winding direction.
Abstract:
A strain sensor (10) for measuring strain greater than 10%, the sensor (10) comprising: an upper polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate (20) having measurement electrodes (90) extending therethrough; a lower PDMS substrate (30) bonded to a lower surface of the upper PDMS substrate (20), and an upper surface of the lower PDMS substrate (30) having a patterned portion (50); and a conductive fluid (70) contained within the patterned portion (50) in contact with the measurement electrodes (90).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a microvalve having a valve plug, connecting legs, anchors and actuators, allowing the valve plug to move vertically to open or close the valve. The valve plug can contain magnetic materials, and be operated by an actuator.
Abstract:
The embodiments of the present invention provide a CMUT array and method of fabricating the same. The CMUT array has CMUT elements individually or respectively addressable from a backside of a substrate on which the CMUT array is fabricated. In one embodiment, a CMUT array is formed on a front side of a very high conductivity silicon substrate. Through wafer trenches are etched into the substrate from the backside of the substrate to electrically isolate individual CMUT elements formed on the front side of the substrate. Electrodes are formed on the backside of the substrate to individually address the CMUT elements through the substrate.
Abstract:
A controller assembly includes a housing, first and second tube units, and first and second runners. Each of the first and second runners slides on a respective one of the first and second tube units when the respective one of the first and second tube units is driven to rotate. In response to sliding of the first runner to bring the first runner into abutment with the second runner, the first runner is prevented from sliding over the second runner, whilst impeding rotation of the first tube unit. In response to sliding of the second runner to bring the second runner into abutment with the first runner, the second runner is prevented from sliding over the first runner, whilst impeding rotation of the second tube unit.
Abstract:
A Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) having a membrane operatively connected to a top electrode and having a bottom electrode having a concave void. When a DC bias voltage is applied, the membrane is deflected towards the bottom electrode such that a peripheral edge region of the membrane is brought into close proximity with the bottom electrode and an electrostatic force proximal to the peripheral edge region of the membrane is increased.
Abstract:
A force sensor includes a polymeric substrate including a cavity with a tilt plane, at least two metal piezoresistors on the tilt plane, and a contact pad connected to the metal piezoresistors. The tilt plane may include a measured interface of from 15° to 75°.
