  • Patent number: 6418393
    Abstract: An inspecting device for a thermal module for cooling a CPU of a computer to decide whether the module can work properly is disclosed. The device includes a computer stored with preset data. A measuring unit has a heater generating heat with a predetermined temperature. A converter electrically connects the heater with the computer and converts an analogous signal corresponding to the temperature of the heater to a digital signal which is sent to the computer. A force generating mechanism is provided on the measuring unit which can generate a pressing force toward the heater. When the heater is contact with a heat-generating component contact part of the thermal module and the force generating mechanism is activated to press the part against the heater, the computer compares the data stored therein and the signal received from the converter to determine whether the thermal module can attain its required performance.

  • Patent number: 6122169
    Abstract: A heat sink assembly of the present invention comprises a conductive housing with a heat pipe and a fan fixed therein, and fixing devices. The conductive housing is formed by die-casting and comprises a base, a heat sink portion and a shielding portion which depend downwardly from the square base. The base defines a thorough channel to fix the heat pipe for dissipating heat produced by an electronic element mounted in the shielding portion, two legs of the channel being communication with the space formed by the shielding portion and the heat sink portion respectively. The shielding portion is integral with the heat sink portion and defines a peripheral side wall to form a sealed square-shaped space together with the base to provide EMI shielding for the electronic element. A hole is defined in each of the four corners of the peripheral side wall of the shielding portion to engage with the fixing devices.
