  • Patent number: 7011145
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the mobility of a working fluid in a liquid/gas phase heat dissipating device improves the mobility of the working fluid therein, and further enhancing the heat dissipation capability of the heat dissipating device. The present invention coats a layer on the surface of a capillary structure inside the heat dissipating device to increase the material property on the surface and the coupling force between the working fluid and the capillary structure and decrease the contact angle between the working fluid and the capillary structure, and thus the working fluid has a higher mobility to solve the problem of the high heat flux density of the liquid/gas heat dissipating device and improve the heat dissipation effect. The present invention not only applies to the heat generating electronic components within a limited space, but also applies to other electronic components that require a constant temperature.

    Abstract: A heat sink and heat spreader bonding structure includes a metal heat sink, a metal heat spreader, and an eutectic structure formed between the heat sink and the heat spreader by heating the heat sink and the heat spreader to a specific temperature of the eutectic temperature of the heat sink and the heat spreader but below the respective melting point of the heat sink and the heat spreader to cause the internal metal atoms of the heat sink and heat spreader to be rearranged. This bonding structure maintains the heat transfer efficiency of the bonding layer between the heat sink and the heat spreader, eliminates formation of crevice, heat resistance, and oxidation in the bonding layer.

  • Publication number: 20040226188
    Abstract: A heated shoe for generating heat by using hydrocarbon reaction with oxygen is disclosed. The heated shoe is capable to keep warm for long periods, giving out heat by itself, having a simple structure and low costs for parts. The heated shoe includes a shoe body defining a vent hole and a temperature control valve formed on the sole thereof. The sole defines a recess in which a partition defining a through hole is fixed. The partition divides the recess into two areas, one for receiving a fuel vessel of volatile fuel and the other for receiving an activated thermal conductor. Gas volatilized from the fuel penetrates through the through hole of the partition to contact the activated thermal conductor. The volatilized gas reacts with oxygen contained in air entering from the vent hole and generates heat with the catalysis caused by catalyst of the activated thermal conductor. The generated heat is transferred through a thermal pad to the whole shoe.
