Publication number: 20100124017Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, an active fan installed in the housing, and an airflow reversal prevention assembly. The assembly includes a fixed rack secured to the housing opposite to the active fan, a movable rack, a passive fan, a curtain shelter, a shaft, and a resilient member. The curtain shelter is attached between the fixed rack and the movable rack. The shaft is fixedly passed through the movable rack and the passive fan to be rotatably secured to the fixed rack. The passive fan is driven by air from the active fan to rotate, thereby driving the movable rack to rotate relative to the fixed rack by the shaft to allow the curtain shelter being folded up. The resilient member can urge the movable rack to rotate back to allow the curtain shelter being spread open.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2008Publication date: May 20, 2010Applicant: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventor: Ming-Der Chou

Patent number: 7664500Abstract: A network service control method detects whether a mobile node communicating with a corresponding node is trending to a second local area network from a first local area network and forks and transmits a user agent and a server agent to a proxy when the mobile node is trending to the second local area network. After that, the user agent registers onto the proxy according to a result obtained by the handshaking. Finally, when the mobile node moves into the second local area network, the mobile node communicates with the user agent for obtaining a connection tunnel reserved by the user agent to communicate with the corresponding node.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Li-Der Chou, Wei-Cheng Lai, Chen-Hau Lin

Publication number: 20100002386Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, and an active fan and an airflow reversal prevention assembly installed in the housing. The assembly includes a first grid plate defining a plurality of vents, a second grid plate abutting against the first grid plate, a passive fan, and an elastic member. The second grid plate defines a plurality of vents being selectively aligned with the vents of the first grid plate. The passive fan is driven by air from the active fan to rotate, thereby driving the second grid plate to slide relative to the first grid plate. Thus the vents of the second grid plate are aligned with the corresponding vents of the first grid plate. The elastic member is capable of urging the second grid plate to slide to return, whereby the vents of the second grid plate are out of alignment with the vents of the first grid plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2008Publication date: January 7, 2010Applicant: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventor: Ming-Der Chou
