Abstract: A lever-controllable magnetic buckle includes a male member having a male engaging section, a female member having a female engaging section formed with two groups of female guide-out surface, and a control lever. The male member is magnetically attracted for moving to the female member with the male engaging section retained to the female engaging section. The control lever is pivotally connected to the male member and has an actuating cam contacting with the female member. The female member will contact with surfaces of the actuating cam at different positions thereof when the control lever is pivotally swung relative to the male member, allowing the male engaging section to disengage from the female engaging section. Then, the control lever can be further swung to move the male member in different directions to selectively contact with one of the two groups of female guide-out surface and be completely separated from the female member.

Abstract: A magnetic buckle includes two buckle bodies respectively have a magnetic attraction element fitted thereon. The two magnetic attraction elements bring the two buckle bodies to be magnetically detachably engaged with each other. A guide structure is formed on between the two buckle bodies. The two magnetic attraction elements and the guide structure together enable one of the two buckle bodies to move in different directions when it sequentially moves along an approaching path, within which the two buckle bodies are separate from each other, a contacting path, within which the two buckle bodies are brought to contact with each other, and a locating path, within which the two buckle bodies are brought to engage with each other. Thus, a user can conveniently magnetically engage the two buckle bodies with each other without the necessity of aligning them in advance or double-checking the engagement between them.

Abstract: A cooling system that includes a substrate having a metallic face, at least one microporous wick formation in thermal communication with the metallic face, and a liquid delivery head positioned in complementary opposition to the metallic face, the liquid delivery head having at least one nozzle for directing a liquid towards the metallic face.
