Patent number: 11469693Abstract: A fan device comprises a processor, a fan motor and a light emitting element. The processor comprises an input terminal, a first and a second output terminals. An initial mode of the processor is in one of a rotation speed control mode and a light emission control mode. The input terminal is configured to receive an input instruction, and the input instruction comprises a first characteristic. The fan motor is electrically connected to the first output terminal, and the light emitting element is electrically connected to the second output terminal. When a value of the first characteristic is within a characteristic value range, the processor is switched from the initial mode to the other of the rotation speed control mode and the light emission control mode. When the value of the first characteristic is not within the characteristic value range, the initial mode of the processor is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: COOLER MASTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Chu-Yi Kuo, Chih-Hsuan Lu, Wen-Hong Chen, Chia-Hao Sung

Patent number: 11041778Abstract: A configurable leak detection system comprising a leak detection device and at least a leak detection covering comprising a leak detection region having a first and second electrode and at least an attachable region is provided. The first and second electrodes are disposed spaced apart and fixed in firm contact with the covering. The system is attached onto liquid cooling systems, bases, and/or fluid conduits. When liquid is leaked onto the covering, the liquid is absorbed therein, until the dampened region extends over some point on each of the first and second electrodes. An electrical current is conducted, providing a low resistance path therebetween. An impedance change is detected, an alert means is generated, and the leak detection device is reset. More than one configurable leak detection system is attached onto systems, bases and/or fluid conduits via the at least an attachable region, and then electrically coupled together.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2020Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: COOLER MASTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Chu yi Kuo, Wen hong Chen, Chun hsien Chen

Patent number: 9917489Abstract: An axial air-gap motor stator and a fan thereof includes a motor stator. The motor stator includes multiple metal substrates stacked together. Each metal substrate has a port and multiple pole teeth disposed around the port. The two adjacent pole teeth on each metal substrate are disposed with a magnetic pole and the number of the pole teeth of each metal substrate is a natural number twice the number of the magnetic poles of each metal substrate. The magnetic poles of the metal substrates are arranged in a staggered manner. This avoids the problems of interference of magnetic poles and prevents the magnetic field from being affected.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: COOLER MASTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Fu-Lung Lin, Shih-Wei Huang, Chu-Yi Kuo
