  • Patent number: 9575778
    Abstract: A system includes functional units that are dynamically configurable during operation of the system. The system also includes a first module that collects performance data while the system executes a program with the functional units configured according to a configuration setting. The system also includes a second module that sends information to a server. The information includes the performance data, the configuration setting and data from which the program may be identified. The system also includes a third module that instructs the system to re-configure the functional units with a new configuration setting received from the server while the program is being executed by the system. The new configuration setting is based on analysis by the server of the information sent by the system and of similar information sent by other systems that include the dynamically configurable functional units.

  • Publication number: 20120147565
    Abstract: A heat dissipation and temperature-homogenizing structure which includes a body made of a material with low thermal conductivity and a heat conducting member made of a material with high thermal conductivity is disclosed. The body has opposite inner surfaces and outer surfaces. The heat conducting member is embedded inside the body and is completely surrounded between the inner surfaces and the outer surfaces. When the electronic device generates heat, the heat is firstly transferred to the heat conducting member from the inner surfaces, and then rapidly and evenly spreads over the heat conducting member. Finally, the heat inside the heat conducting member is uniformly dissipated through the outer surfaces. Accordingly, the heat dissipation and temperature-homogenizing structure may effectively and evenly spread the heat over the outer surfaces for exchanging heat with the ambient.

  • Publication number: 20110168762
    Abstract: A soldering iron tip is used for heating a solder bar during a soldering operation so as to solder a workpiece. An end surface of the soldering iron tip has a guide hole, and the guide hole forms a channel in the soldering iron tip. Meanwhile, a side surface of the soldering iron tip has a through hole in communication with the channel. When the soldering operation is performed, relative positions of the guide hole and the workpiece overlap each other. After the solder bar is made to pass through the through hole and heated inside the channel, the molten solder bar flows along the channel to reach the workpiece via the guide hole, thereby completing the soldering operation.
