  • Patent number: 7066244
    Abstract: A temperature-homogenizing device for uniformly dissipating heat generated from electronic components in an electronic device to a housing of the electronic device includes a first and a second higher thermally conductive layers and a first lower thermally conductive layer. The first lower thermally conductive layer is disposed between the first and the second higher thermally conductive layers, and made of a material or a medium having a lower thermal conductivity than each of the first and the second higher thermally conductive layers. By means of this temperature-homogenizing device, the heat is homogeneously distributed throughout the first and the second higher thermally conductive layers at a higher thermal conduction rate and transferred through the first lower thermally conductive layer at a lower thermal conduction rate so as to maintain homogeneous temperature distribution on the housing.

  • Publication number: 20060104026
    Abstract: An electronic device having a heat-dissipating structure for a socket is disclosed. The electronic device comprises a case, a plurality of electronic components disposed in the case, an airflow inlet disposed at a first side of the case, a socket disposed at a second side of the case, wherein the second side is opposite to the first side and the electronic components are disposed between the first side and the second side, and an airflow directing plate disposed between the case and the electronic components and forming an airflow channel with the case for directing a portion of air at the airflow inlet to the socket through the airflow channel so as to dissipate heat of the socket. Through the design of the present invention, the heat of the socket of the electronic device can be dissipated efficiently to conform to the safety standard of the socket temperature.

  • Patent number: 6710691
    Abstract: A transformer with an associated heat-dissipating plastic element is provided. The transformer includes a hollow main body, a core, a coil and a heat-dissipating plastic element. The core is installed inside the hollow main body while the coil wraps around the core. The heat-dissipating plastic element is also installed inside the hollow main body. The heat-dissipating plastic element encloses the core and the coil. Alternatively, the heat-dissipating plastic element encloses the hollow main body, the core and the coil so that heat generated by the coil may be directly conducted away to the exterior through the heat-dissipating plastic element.
