  • Patent number: 9301429
    Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to thermal management and more particularly to a method and apparatus for providing thermal insulation from relatively small heat sources in small form factor electronic devices. An insulator layer can be placed between a small heat source and an exterior surface of the device, such as a cover glass layer. In one embodiment, a graphite layer can also be included between the cover glass layer and the insulator layer to spread any transmitted heat across the cover glass layer.

  • Patent number: 9228583
    Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid pump device, having a pump shell body, a soft rubber pressing device, a discharge channel, a sealed discharge cap, and a guiding tube. The pump shell body has an upper shell and a lower shell connected to form a first cavity communicated with the discharge channel. The lower shell has an arc surface with an upward opening. A flange is arranged at the lower end of the arc surface of the lower shell, a through hole being arranged at the middle of the flange. The soft rubber pressing device forms a second cavity with the lower shell. The sealed discharge cap has at least one cut forming a discharge port, and is sleeved to an end portion of the discharge channel. The guiding tube is arranged in the through hole of the flange, and is communicated with the second cavity via the feeding channel.

  • Patent number: 9035833
    Abstract: A five-band Bluetooth built-in antenna and its mobile communication terminal provide bandwidth for communication. A built-in antenna comprises an antenna radiation unit and a first slot, a second slot and a third slot. Slots are added to approach a center frequency of a low-frequency branch part of the antenna so that the antenna generates resonance, so the low-frequency bandwidth of the antenna is increased. A high-frequency part of the antenna generates resonance by means of capacitive coupling.
