  • Publication number: 20250133698
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided that implements thermally conductive plastic supports that may replace the typical use of “feet” used in conventional electronic devices. The thermally conductive supports may extend through the bottom chassis cover (e.g. the “D cover”) of the electronic device, and be mechanically and thermally coupled to a heat pipe that is in turn coupled to a heat source for which thermal regulation is utilized. The thermally conductive plastic supports may provide a heat path from the heat source to the bottom chassis cover and, when the electronic device is disposed on a surface, an additional heat path may be provided from the heat source to this surface.

  • Publication number: 20240431066
    Abstract: Heat exchange apparatuses and methods for hyperbaric cooling fan applications such as computing devices. The apparatus comprises a material with high thermal conductivity and is configured to be overlaid on an internal surface of the housing, such that an internal surface of the apparatus is exposed to the hot air flowing inside the housing, and an external surface of the apparatus occludes at least some of the existing through-holes of the housing. In operation, the apparatus converts the through-holes into passive heat exchanging regions that passively transfer heat from inside the housing to outside the housing, which brings the internal air temperature and junction temperature (Tj) of the heat generating components down. Provided embodiments do not require reworking of the original industrial design (ID) of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20240304640
    Abstract: The present invention provides a reduced-height image-capturing module, which includes a lens assembly, an image-sensing chip, a carrier base and a circuit substrate. The carrier base has a base body, two extending plate bodies extending and a base groove recessed. A lower portion of the base body enters a through opening of the circuit substrate, and the two extending plate bodies cross over the through opening of the circuit substrate and are disposed on an upper surface of the circuit substrate. The image-sensing chip is disposed on a recessed bottom surface of the base groove which is not at the same level as the upper surface of the circuit substrate, so that the recessed bottom surface is lower than the upper surface of the circuit substrate. The lens assembly is disposed on the upper portion of the base body and corresponds to the image-sensing chip.

  • Patent number: 11690435
    Abstract: A computing device captures a live video of a user, determines a location of a facial region of the user by a facial region analyzer, and determines a finger vector type by a finger vector detector based on a direction in which at least one finger is pointing relative to the facial region of the user. Responsive to detecting a first finger vector type within the facial region involving a single finger, a makeup effects toolbar is displayed in the user interface. Responsive to detecting a second finger vector type involving the single finger, a selection tool for selecting a makeup effect in the makeup effects toolbar is displayed. The computing device obtains a makeup effect based on manipulation by the user of the selection tool. Responsive to detecting a target user action, virtual application of the selected makeup effect is performed on the facial region of the user.

  • Patent number: 11630332
    Abstract: Magnetic Bluetooth eyeglasses are revealed. A Bluetooth circuit module is mounted in a mounting space of a temple and provided with a built-in Bluetooth unit connected to mobile devices. The Bluetooth circuit module further includes a microphone, a speaker, a touch switch, and a power connection base. The temple is connected to a power supply device by magnetic attraction between first and second magnetic members while the power supply device is in contact with the power connection base of the Bluetooth circuit module. Thereby users are not bothered by wires while in use and the eyeglasses are more convenient to use. Moreover, the eyeglasses can still be used during charging process. Users only need to replace the power supply device with a new one already charged instead of taking off the whole eyeglasses. The eyeglasses which prevent moisture infiltration provide longer service life.

  • Patent number: 11353324
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, into a measurement tool, a substrate having a material feature, wherein the material feature is formed on the substrate according to a design feature. The method further includes applying a source signal on the material feature, collecting a response signal from the material feature by using the measurement tool, and with a computer connected to the measurement tool, calculating a simulated response signal from the design feature. The method further includes, with the computer, in response to determining that a difference between the collected response signal and the simulated response signal exceeds a predetermined value, causing the measurement tool to re-measure the material feature.
