  • Patent number: 10520995
    Abstract: A portable electronic module includes a casing having an air inlet, a heat generating member disposed in the casing, and a heat dissipating mechanism. The heat dissipating mechanism includes a fixing frame disposed at the casing corresponding to the air inlet, a driving handle, a driving device for driving the driving handle to move reciprocally, and a plurality of fans. The driving handle is disposed at a side of the fixing frame and has a plurality of holes arranged alternately. The fans are pivotally connected to the fixing frame in an alternate arrangement so as to swing relative to the fixing frame. Each fan has a protruding pillar extending toward the corresponding hole. Each protruding pillar is movably disposed through the corresponding hole, so that each fan could swing with reciprocation of the driving handle to guide airflow to pass through the air inlet to the heat generating member.

  • Patent number: 8943649
    Abstract: A hinge includes a pivot, two connection members pivotally connected by the pivot, a first magnetic part connected to one of the connection members, a second magnetic part moveably disposed relative to the first magnetic part and kinetically connected to the other one of the connection members, and an adjustment part kinetically connected to the other connection member and urging against the adjustment part. The magnetic moment of the second magnetic part is opposite to that of the first magnetic part. When the two connection members rotate relatively, the other connection member drives the adjustment part and the second magnetic part to rotate relative to the first magnetic part, so as to produce a repulsive moment resisting the rotation and varies with the rotation. A foldable electronic apparatus has the hinge.
