  • Patent number: 8375584
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat sink of a large area, in which a heat-dissipating body is further provided in its limited space. The method for manufacturing a fin includes the steps of providing a fin, cutting the fin to form a foldable piece thereon, folding back the foldable piece to be overlapped on the fin and form an accommodating hole, and punching the folded piece and the fin to form two overlapped through-holes. The fin, the heat-dissipating body and heat pipes are assembled together to obtain the heat sink. Since the fins and the heat-dissipating body dissipate the heat of the heat-generating element simultaneously, the heat-dissipating efficiency of the heat sink can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20130021010
    Abstract: A digital pulse width modulation (PWM) controller is used for controlling the operating voltage of an electrical load and includes a setting module, a storage module and a control module. The setting module generates control parameters corresponding to different preset load currents and load voltages of the electrical load. The storage module stores the control parameters and the prestored load current and load voltage. The control module is in electronic communication with the storage module, and detects current load voltage and current load current of the electrical load, and compares the current load voltage and load current with the prestored load voltage. Thus, the control module can output the control parameters which are necessary to stabilize the operating voltage of the electrical load, by comparison with stored data.
