Abstract: A heat dissipating device for CPU generally comprises a bracket, a cooling fan, a specially designed air hose that connects the inlet of the cooling fan and the inlet of the computer housing, and an upper lid. The specially designed air hose is connected to the inlet of the cooling fan. The other end of the hose is arranged such that it may draw the fresh air into the computer housing. The bracket is preferably made from aluminum and can be properly mounted onto the top surface of the CPU. When the cooling fan operates, the cooling air can be readily sucked and directed to the mounting recess of the bracket. The heat built-up resulted from the operation of CPU can be readily dissipated by those introduced airflow. When the airflow passes through the heat dissipating fins, the heat from the CPU can be effectively dissipated.

Abstract: An anti-adhesion film, which is difficult for the deposited film to adhere thereto, is formed on the inner surface of a process chamber. A process gas is supplied from a gas supply unit to that position in the process chamber which is opposed to a table, whereupon a metal film or metallic compound film is deposited on the surface of the object. In the film deposition process, the anti-adhesion film serves considerably to reduce the build-up of the metal film deposited on the inner surface of the process chamber, especially that surface of the gas supply unit which is opposed to the table. Although at least a maintenance operation such as wet cleaning is necessary, therefore, the frequency of such operation can be lowered substantially, so that the operating efficiency of the apparatus can be improved.

Each sealing jaw is received on a carriage, which is connected to the drive means and has at least one follower element, which is adapted to abut against and move along the guide means.

Abstract: This invention is an "improved AC/DC electric adapter with the large and small plugs". The main body of the device consists of upper and lower casings; inside the box, there is an electronic converting circuit. In its upper casing, there is an indentation design to hold the large plug; in the large plug, there is a small plug with the rotary pins. The small plug pins can be rotated into the ordinary formation (with the shape of "11") or the two angled formations because there are the following internal designs: two insulating pieces with three guiding holes and push-up pieces (the latter can make the pins mesh with the three guiding holes). Therefore, the small plug pins can be used to draw current from the regular socket or angled pin socket. In addition, its electronic converting circuit can convert the AC into low voltage DC. So, the invention can be used indoors.
