  • Patent number: 11812389
    Abstract: A thermal management method is applicable to a wireless communication apparatus. The wireless communication apparatus includes at least a wireless communication module, a heat source set, a thermally conductive assembly, a heat-dissipating fin assembly, and a cooling fan. The thermally conductive assembly is connected to the wireless communication module and the heat source set. The heat-dissipating fin assembly is connected to the thermally conductive assembly and arranged corresponding to the heat source set or the wireless communication module. The cooling fan normally operates at a first rotational speed for cooling to the heat-dissipating fin assembly. Upon the raising of a temperature value of the wireless communication apparatus, the method is to raise the first rotational speed to a second rotational speed, switch down the power consumption of the heat source set, and execute an event trigger, so as to maintain the temperature value within a proper temperature range.

  • Publication number: 20220161528
    Abstract: The invention provides a filament, which is a fine filament cut and formed from a thermoplastic membrane material, and is made by thermal stretching and thermal shaping. Through the invention, the filament formed by cutting can have excellent physical properties including: high strength, high elastic recovery rate, low stretch elasticity, low elongation rate, improved environmental tolerance, and increased service life, so that the filament formed by cutting has a wider application range and can be directly used in textiles. The invention is capable of producing filaments thinner than those obtained by cutting method alone. In addition, when a surface of the filament is coated with a functional coating layer, the filament of the invention will not lose the function of the coating layer.
