  • Patent number: 8177530
    Abstract: A miniature heat-dissipating fan includes a stator and a rotor. The stator has a first leakage flux absorber, a coil layer arranged on the first leakage flux absorber, and a hole. The coil layer has a plurality of coils, and the hole passes through the first leakage flux absorber and the coil layer. The rotor has an impeller, a second leakage flux absorber and a permanent magnet. The second leakage flux absorber and the permanent magnet are attached to a bottom of the impeller, such that the rotor is rotatably coupled to the stator. Consequently, magnetic flux leakage under the stator is prevented to assure that electromagnetic interference will never be caused, and an overall axial thickness of the miniature heat-dissipating fan is reduced by the configuration of the stator.

  • Patent number: 8167677
    Abstract: A method of assembling an airtight LED light bulb has the steps of: connecting a stem device with an LED device, drying the LED device, connecting the stem device with a bulb envelope, extracting air in the bulb envelope via a pipe, filling the bulb envelope with nitrogen or inert gas via the pipe, sealing an opening of the pipe which is located outside the bulb envelope to make the bulb envelope completely airtight and connecting a cap with the bulb envelope. Because the bulb envelope is airtight, moisture in the environment can not damage the LED device, and the steps of extracting air in the bulb envelope via the pipe and filling the bulb envelope with nitrogen or inert gas via the pipe are feasible. Consequently, the LED device will not easily be oxidized or dampened, so the lifespan of the airtight LED light bulb can be prolonged.
