Abstract: A heat dissipation device removing heat from an electronic device includes a base plate, a fin set in thermal connection with the base plate, a fixing member and two fans. The fixing member includes a driving part coupled to a top of the fin set, two mounting parts located at two opposite sides of a circumference of the fin set and two connecting arms extending outwardly from the driving part and connecting with the two mounting parts. The two fans, respectively mounted on the two mounting parts of the fixing member and located at two opposite sites of the circumference of the fin set, are driven to rotate around the circumference of the fin set by the driving part and generate two streams of airflow which flow through the fin set that are non-intersecting.

Abstract: Frame synchronization in an OFDM system involves calculating a frame synchronization result as a complementary weighted summation of (i) a matched filtered technique, and (ii) an autocorrelation technique. A preamble of ten short training symbols (five predetermined symbols, repeated twice) is transmitted in an OFDM system to provide a basis for performing the matched filter and autocorrelation techniques. The complementary weighted summation is performed using parameters &agr; and (1-&agr;), in which &agr; belongs to the set of numbers between zero and one. Desirably, &agr; is in the range 0.5 to 0.9. Improved (or at least equivalent) synchronization failure rate and bit error rate performance results, compared with either the matched filter technique and the autocorrelation technique alone.
