  • Patent number: 12261108
    Abstract: The present application relates to a chip heat dissipating structure, a chip structure, a circuit board and a supercomputing device, and the chip heat dissipating structure includes a plating layer covered on the chip, where the plating layer includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer arranged in sequence. By adding two metal layer on the top of the chip by physical sputtering, the heat sink may be soldered onto the metal layer through a solder layer, so that the heat sink is fixed to the top of the chip; the main component of the solder layer is metal tin, and the metal layer has a higher thermal conductivity than an epoxy resin material mounted on a traditional heat sink, thereby solving a problem of the heat dissipation bottleneck of a resin material in the chip, thus improving a heat dissipation effect of the chip.

  • Publication number: 20240002079
    Abstract: The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle having multifunctional leg assembly and charging system, including unmanned aerial vehicle and charging station. The UAV includes obstacle avoidance sensors, flight control module, first signal processing module, electric undercarriage and power charge/storage module. The charging station includes power charge/supply module. The obstacle avoidance sensors sense obstacles near the UAV to generate obstacle sensing signals. The first signal processing module interprets and processes the obstacle sensing signals to determine whether there is an obstacle near the UAV, and when the judgment result is yes, an avoidance instruction is transmitted to the flight control module, so that the flight control module drives the UAV to avoid the obstacle. The electric undercarriage includes first leg frame, second leg frame and electric driving mechanism. The electric driving mechanism drives the first leg frame and the second leg frame to fold and unfold alternately.

  • Patent number: 8018601
    Abstract: A exemplary method for determining vibration displacement in interferometric scanning, in which two optical signals having a phase difference with each other of a high-coherence interferogram corresponding to a tested surface is detected for determining a shifting displacement between the reference plane of interferometric apparatus and the tested surface. In one embodiment, a series of the shifting displacements with respect to a time interval are measured for determining the vibrating frequency of the tested surface by spectrum analysis. Meanwhile, an exemplary interferometric apparatus is also disclosed for calculating the relative position between the tested surface and the reference plane of interferometric apparatus whereby the interferometric apparatus is capable of compensating influences of vibration caused by the environment or the tested surface itself so as to obtain the surface profile and vibration frequency of the tested surface.
