  • Publication number: 20170082378
    Abstract: A vapor chamber structure for at least one heating element includes a main body having a heat receiving plate. The heat receiving plate has at least one wrinkled ring portion. An inner portion of the wrinkled ring portion surrounds a contact portion. The contact portion is in contact with the heating element. Thereby, one heating element provides the contact portion a thrust when the contact portion is in contact with the heating element. The wrinkled ring portion is therefore forced to deform for helping the contact portion slightly adjust its position. This ensures a tight and even contact between the contact portion and the heating element, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the vapor chamber structure.

  • Publication number: 20170010048
    Abstract: A thin vapor chamber includes a heat conducting plate having an upper surface, a metal cover sealed and covering on the heat conducting plate, and a wick structure disposed between the heat conducting plate and the metal cover. A plurality of hollow supports are formed on the metal cover by pressing and face the heat conducting plate. The wick structure is provided with plural throughholes. The hollow supports are individually disposed through the corresponding throughholes and attached to the upper surface. Thus, the heat of the heat conducting plate is transferred to the metal cover through the hollow supports. Besides, the metal cover is pressed to have an uneven shape to increase heat-dissipating area and structural strength, which achieves excellent heat transfer efficiency and heat diffusion of the thin vapor chamber.

  • Patent number: 9266207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oblique-driven platform having three coplanar driving axes, in which three oblique driving modules are disposed on an identical base, so as to drive a work platform to rotate and carry out 2-dimensional motion by the controlling of the three oblique driving modules. Thus, this design could solve the problems occurring in the conventional stacked machine tools; such as the deformation or the displacement of the sever axis or the rotation axis caused by the upper-layer machine tools. Moreover, by the disposing of the three oblique driving modules, the work platform can be driven to stably rotate and carry out 2-dimensional motion with high precision and high accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20150257753
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for suturing tissue. An elongated deployment shaft carries a needle deployment assembly with needles carrying suture material and a stabilizer that is reconfigurable between an unexpanded insertion profile and an expanded profile. A catcher tube over the shaft having a catcher at a distal end may retain at least a portion of the needles carrying the suture material when the needles are passed through the tissue to be sutured into engagement with the catcher. A sheath over the catcher tube may sandwich tissue to be sutured against the stabilizer when expanded. A first actuator may move the catcher tube distally relative to the shaft to decrease a distance between the proximal end of the stabilizer and the distal end of the stabilizer to expand the stabilizer and may move the sheath distally relative to the shaft to sandwich the tissue.
