  • Publication number: 20110019523
    Abstract: An integrated standalone optical disc duplication and labeling system has an optical disc drive, a main controller and a command module. The optical disc drive is capable of containing an optical disc and performing either a duplication capability or a labeling capability. The main controller is connected to and operates the optical disc drive. The command module is connected to the main controller and is capable of transmitting either a duplication designating command or a labeling designating command to the main controller. The duplication designating command is used to designate the optical disc drive to perform the duplication capability. The labeling designating command is used to designate the optical disc drive to perform the labeling capability. A user acquires a single standalone system that is able to perform both duplication and labeling.

  • Publication number: 20090110511
    Abstract: An elastic fastener for fixing a heat sink on a circuit board includes a fixing element, a cylinder and an elastic element. The fixing element has a head and a fixing section. One side of the fixing section is formed into a protruding ring. The cylinder is made of electrically non-conductive materials and it has a hollow hole for allowing the fixing element to pass through. The cylinder extends inwardly to form a locking ring for engagingly connecting with the protruding ring. The elastic fastener further includes an elastic element. Both ends of the elastic element are elastically compressed between the head and the top surface of the cylinder. With the above arrangement, the electrically non-conductive property of the cylinder can prevent the circuit board and the heat sink from contacting to generate a short circuit and in turn cause a breakdown of the circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20070287324
    Abstract: A water block includes a first casing, a solder paste, and a second casing. The first casing has a solder reserve area formed on an outer edge thereof. The solder paste is coated on the solder reserve area. The second casing is jointed with the first casing via the solder past to form a channel space. The present invention uses tin solder as a soldering material, so that the soldering temperature is between 200° C. and 400° C. Hence, the present invention avoids oxygenation and weakened bond strength due to high temperatures. Therefore, when the solder paste melts, the flux separates from the tin solder and bubbles of the tin solder are removed from the solder reserve area at a soldering temperature of between 200˜400° C. Moreover, the bond strength of the joint surface between two casings is increased, so cooling liquids won't easily leak out from the strong joint surface.
