Abstract: A heat sink has a heat-dissipating portion and a contact portion for contacting an electric device generating heat. The diameter of the contact portion is smaller than that of the heat-dissipating portion. The heat-dissipating portion has a plurality of fins. The contact portion is disposed on a bottom surface of the heat-dissipating and formed with the heat-dissipating portion as a single unitary member. The contact portion includes a first axial cross section and a second axial cross section. The first axial cross section is away from the heat-dissipating portion, and the second axial cross section is near the heat-dissipating portion. The diameter of the first axial cross section is larger than that of the second axial cross section.

Abstract: A heat dissipating module has a fan and at least one heat sink contacting with a heat source. The fan has an impeller and a housing. The housing has a base for supporting the impeller, at least one rib extending from the edge of the base to the backward direction of the center of the base, at least one sidewall, an annular wall connecting with the rib and/or the sidewall, at least one protrusion axially protruding from the annular wall and/or the sidewall, at least one securing member disposed on the end of the protrusion, and at least one fastener disposed in the securing member. The base, the rib, the sidewall, the annular wall, the protrusion, and the securing member are integrally formed as a single piece. The protrusion has at least one block structure for fixing the heat sink to the housing.

Abstract: A composite heat dissipating apparatus includes a heat pipe and at least two heat sinks. The heat sinks are connected to each other. A space for accommodating the heat pipe therein is formed at a connection between the heat sinks. Each of the heat sinks is integrally formed as a single piece.

Abstract: A capacity management system and method. The system includes a demand management module and a planning engine. The demand management module receives a demand comprising a request for a quantity of a device and a corresponding required date. The planning engine converts original planning buckets with varying bucket lengths into target planning buckets that have substantially identical bucket lengths. The planning engine further retrieves a cycle time of the device, and selects one of the target planning buckets accordingly. The planning engine also plans a capacity in the selected target planning bucket according to the quantity of the device.
