  • Publication number: 20080268916
    Abstract: A communication device charged by solar energy forms a foldable mobile phone by pivotably connecting a first pivot provided on one end of a host to a display. One end face of the display is provided with a second pivot. A solar plate is pivotably connected to the second pivot of the display to foldably cover on the display. With the above structure, if the electricity of the battery of the mobile phone is insufficient, the user can unfold the solar plate from the display to charge the electrically-connected battery of the mobile phone, thereby to overcome the inconvenience in supplementing the electricity of the battery.

  • Publication number: 20080078195
    Abstract: An automobile switchable solar air-conditioning auxiliary system includes a solar energy supply device, a control device, a power device and an automobile air-conditioning system. During the running of a vehicle, the control device is actuated to switch to the solar energy supply device to supply the necessary electricity, whereby a motor drives a mechanical compressor of the automobile air-conditioning system to operate and thus the automobile air-conditioning system generates and introduces cold air into the vehicle. When the electricity in the solar energy supply device is insufficient, the control device automatically switches to the engine to drive the compressor. In this way, the solar energy is used as an auxiliary power supply for the automobile air-conditioning system.

    Abstract: A heat-dissipating device having an air-guiding structure includes a heat-conducting seat, a fin assembly, at least one heat pipe for serially connecting to the fin assembly and the heat-conducting seat, and a wind force unit. The fin assembly is positioned above the heat-conducting seat and formed by arranging a plurality of heat-dissipating fins at intervals. As a result, airflow paths are formed between each heat-dissipating fin. The wind force unit is laterally provided at one side of the fin assembly. A space for lateral flow is formed between the heat-conducting seat and the fin assembly. The other side of the fin assembly is provided with an air-guiding member. The air-guiding member has a guiding space for laterally communicating with the space. The airflow blown by the wind force unit can pass through the space and is received by the air-guiding member. Then, the airflow is guided to the portions to be heat-dissipated by the air-guiding member.
