  • Patent number: 7991429
    Abstract: A communication system equipped with a shared antenna includes an antenna, a first communication module, a second communication module, and a switch module. The first communication module processes a first communication signal and transmits the first communication signal to the switch module. The second communication module processes a second communication signal and transmits the second communication signal to the switch module. Additionally, the first communication module controls the switch module to transmit the first communication signal or the second communication signal to the antenna, and the antenna emits the first communication signal or the second communication signal.

  • Publication number: 20090034202
    Abstract: A heat-dissipating module suitable for dissipating heat for a heat-generating element is provided. The heat-dissipating module includes a heat-dissipating base, a cooling fan having a case and a blades assembly disposed in the case, a heat pipe and a thermoelectric converter. The heat-dissipating base is disposed on the heat-generating element, and the case has an air inlet and an air outlet. The heat pipe is connected between the heat-dissipating base and the cooling fan, and the heat pipe has a first end connected to the heat-dissipating base and a second end disposed in the case adjacent to the air outlet. The thermoelectric converter is disposed on the second end, and the thermoelectric converter is suitable for converting a temperature difference between the second end and an environment near the air outlet into output electrical energy.
