The flange defines two slits to divide the flange into two separate portions. The slits communicate with the through hole. A compressible structure is formed in each fin at opposite sides of the through hole. The compressible structure is aligned with the slits such that when the fin is compressed along a direction transverse to the alignment, the compressible structure is compressed and the separate portions of the flange move toward each other and closely contact the condensing section of the heat pipe. | 2013-09-19 |
20130240180 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPERHEATING AND/OR SUPERCOOLING OF LIQUIDS AND USE OF THE SYSTEM AND/OR METHOD - System and method for for superheating and/or supercooling of liquids and use of the system and/or method, wherein the liquid is within a capillary tube, wherein there is at least one heating and/or cooling means for heating the liquid above boiling point of the liquid at ambient pressure or cooling the liquid below freezing point of the liquid at ambient pressure, wherein the at least one heating and/or cooling means is in thermal contact with the capillary tube in an area, in which there is liquid inside the capillary tube, and wherein the capillary tube is scratch-free at its inner surface. | 2013-09-19 |
20130240181 | SAMPLE COOLING DEVICE AND SAMPLING APPARATUS - A sample cooling device for cooling a sample container held in a heat conductive rack comprises a cooler; a heat conductive member, on which the rack is placed, to be cooled in contact with the cooler; and a heat conductive water absorbing member disposed at least partly in an opposite region defined between the heat conductive member and the rack in contact with both of the heat conductive member and the rack. The water absorbing member has a structure for absorbing water by a capillary force. | 2013-09-19 |
20130240182 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device comprises a casing, a heat generation source, an airflow guiding structure, and a jet flow generator. The casing includes an interior space. The airflow guiding structure is in contact with the heat generation source and has one air inlet. The jet flow generator, the heat generation source, and the airflow guiding structure together are situated within the interior space. The jet flow generator includes a nozzle which directs toward the air inlet of the airflow guiding structure at a distance apart. Airflows emitted by the jet flow generator through the nozzle travel at a velocity greater than 0.1 meters/second (m/s), causing a fluid pressure differential with the neighboring air and pulling air in the vicinity along the air inlet into the airflow guiding structure. | 2013-09-19 |
20130240183 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND FAN MODULE - A fan module is detachably mounted in a chassis. The chassis includes a sidewall defining a locking slot. The fan module includes a bracket including a base plate defining a first through slot, a fan fixed to the base plate, a fan duct fixed to the base plate beside the fan, and a locking member. The fan duct includes a side plate defining a second through slot. The locking member is fixed to the fan duct. The locking member includes a locking portion extending through the second through slot of the fan duct and the first through slot of the bracket to lock into the locking slot of the chassis. | 2013-09-19 |
