  • Publication number: 20230127021
    Abstract: Techniques for fan mechanisms with adjustable side vents are disclosed. In one embodiment, a fan housing has several side vents that can direct airflow to components around the fan housing. Vent covers can block the vents, directing the airflow to the primary vent and the heatsink for the processor and other components. When the speed of a fan in the fan housing is increased, the vent covers open, directing airflow to components around the fan housing. In another embodiment, several vent channels are defined in the vent housing. A motor connected to a vent barrier can move the vent barrier to block or unblock the vent channels, allowing for control of airflow. In another embodiment, a fan channel module with one or more vent channels can be attached to the fan housing, allowing for a flexible array of airflow patterns for the same fan housing.

  • Patent number: 8657629
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention provide a SIM card slot having a fool-proof function and electronic apparatus containing the SIM card slot. The SIM card slot comprises: an accommodating space for accommodating the SIM card; and a cover, which may be of metal, positioned above the accommodating space; wherein a recessed zone is arranged in the cover, the recessed zone constituting a stopping sheet for blocking the insertion of the bevel edge of the SIM card. The wrong insertion of the SIM card of the electronic apparatus, such as a mobile terminal, may be prevented by the SIM card slot having a fool-proof function and electronic apparatus containing the SIM card slot of the present invention. Upon correct insertion the SIM card edge will cause the stopping sheet to be lifted, but with incorrect insertion the stopping sheet will engage the card bevel edge to block further insertion.
