  • Publication number: 20110174402
    Abstract: By using a base in cooperation with a moving board, a first flowing area formed by a plurality of openings on the base may be partially blocked by the moving board moving relative to the base, thereby forming a second flowing area that provides different flow resistances. The flow resistance of an adjustable flow resistance device can be adjusted easily and dynamically, without replacing to another device. The flow resistance of the device may also be adjusted to various predefined default settings precisely and speedily by further applying a positioning mechanism that utilizes various predefined positioning holes or a rotary element.

  • Publication number: 20100246134
    Abstract: A thermal insulation structure is disposed on an outer surface of a housing of an electronic device. The thermal insulation structure includes a plurality of tubular structures arranged in parallel, and each of the tubular structures extends along an extension direction. Each tubular structure has at least one tube wall enclosing to form a hollow space. Due to the tubular structures, the thermal isolation structure has anisotropic thermal conductivity. In the thermal isolation structure, heat transfer in every direction is different, and the hot spot area is relative enlarged to reduce the highest temperature on the surface of the thermal isolation structure. Thus, high temperature hot spot area caused by the heat generating element is prevented to be formed on the surface of the electronic device.
