    Abstract: A heat dissipation device includes a heat sink with a plurality of fins, a fan mounted on a side of the heat sink with a space formed between the heat sink and the fan, and at least one airflow guiding board formed by one end of at least one of the fins. The airflow guiding board extends through the space to connect with the fan. The airflow guiding board can guide the airflow generated by the fan to the heat sink, so as to reduce the loss of the airflow from the edge of the heat sink, and enhance the effect of heat dissipation. Alternatively, the airflow guide board can also function to guide the airflow to cool other heat sinks.

  • Publication number: 20070131805
    Abstract: An electrostatic spraying device has a capability of confirming that the device is ready for making an electrostatic spraying of the liquid composition on a user's skin. The device includes a nozzle and a pump for dispensing the liquid composition out through the nozzle. An emitter electrode is disposed to electrostatically charge the liquid composition being dispensed for making the electrostatic spraying. The device is provided with a power switch and a selector for selection between a spraying mode and a dripping mode. In the dripping mode, the pump is alone actuated to dispense the liquid composition absent electrostatic charge. In the spraying mode, both of the pump and the emitter electrode are activated to make the electrostatic spraying. Thus, the user can be easy to drip the liquid composition by simply manipulating the selector prior to initiating the electrostatic spraying.
