  • Publication number: 20160222983
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing and a fan. The housing has a fan-retaining structure including a base, two side walls and at least one elastic clamping unit. The two side walls are disposed on the base and respectively have a guiding slot and an elastic clamping unit. The two guiding slots and the base corporately define a receiving space. The elastic clamping unit has a top-blocking portion formed on one end thereof. The fan is selectively mounted in the receiving space along a longitudinal direction. As the fan is disposing into the receiving space, the top-blocking portion is propped up by the fan, and the elastic clamping unit is elastically curved outward. After the fan is disposed in the receiving space, the top-blocking portions and the base corporately clamp the fan, and the movement of the fan is restricted in the longitudinal direction and in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8611444
    Abstract: A signal receiving method of a receiver includes the following steps. A time-domain received signal is transformed into a frequency-domain received signal, which includes multiple pilot symbols and multiple data symbols. Multiple channel impulse responses corresponding to the pilot symbols are estimated. Multiple inter-carrier interference and inter-block interference (ICIIBI) values corresponding to the pilot symbols are estimated based on the pilot symbols and the corresponding channel impulse responses. Multiple ICIIBI values corresponding to the data symbols are obtained via an interpolation operation according to the ICIIBI values corresponding to the pilot symbols. The estimated corresponding ICIIBI values are cancelled from the data symbols. The interference-cancelled data symbols are demapped to obtain soft-decision or hard-decision bits.
