Abstract: A cooling module includes a thermally conductive plate and a heat pipe. The thermally conductive plate includes a groove having two inner walls that are opposite to each other, a first upper protrusion protrusively located on the plate body and the first inner wall, a second upper protrusion protrusively located on the plate body and the second inner wall, a first lower protrusion protrusively located on the first inner wall, and a second lower protrusion protrusively located on the second inner wall. The heat pipe is located in the groove, and cooperatively secured by the first upper protrusion, the second upper protrusion, the first lower protrusion and the second lower protrusion.

Abstract: An inflation valve includes a valve body having a head portion and an extended portion extending integrally from the head portion, and a needle holder disposed within the valve body.
