Abstract: A fluid delivery device is provided. The device comprises an internal container, an external container and a first delivery pipe. The internal container has a first space for containing a fluid to be delivered. The external container substantially surrounds the internal container to form a substantially sealed second space between the internal container and the external container, wherein the second space is for an assistant liquid. The assistant liquid is heated to raise the pressure in the second space, and then, the internal container is pressed, thereby driving the fluid out along the first delivery pipe.

Abstract: An optical mouse, with shade compensation, has a light source, a sensor and a controller. The light source illuminates a sampling plane of a mouse. The sensor consists of a 2-dimensional array of sensing elements to capture an image from the sampling plane and temporarily store the image into a 2-dimensional array of pixels, each having a pixel value. The controller is connected to the sensor for adjusting the pixel values according to a predetermined table, thereby achieving a shade compensation for the sensing elements.

Abstract: A hair dryer has a casing, a switch, a blower, a mounting cylinder and multiple heating coils. The casing is hollow and has at least one air inlet and an air outlet. The switch is mounted on the casing. The blower is mounted in the casing and connects to the switch. The mounting cylinder is heat-resistant and insulating and is mounted in the casing. The heating coils are mounted around the mounting cylinder, are arranged abreast without any overlapping or interleaved parts and connect to the switch. At least one of the heating coils is wrapped in a clockwise direction and remains of the heating coils are wrapped in a counterclockwise direction. When the hair dryer turns on, the heating coils are electrified and currents on the heating coils are in a same direction to generate opposite magnetic forces canceling out each other.

The elastic device provides a spring force while the elastic computer connector is coupled to the corresponding computer connector to maintain the predetermined contact force.

Abstract: A heat sink protecting retention module is described. The heat sink protecting retention module has a main frame, protective feet, hooks, and a positioning mechanism. The protective feet are disposed under the main frame to keep screws therein before the heat sink protecting retention module is installed on the motherboard so as to avoid scratching the motherboard or damaging electric components thereon. The hooks are disposed on the main frame for clamping the heat sink and the positioning mechanism are disposed around and under the main frame for aligning the heat sink protecting retention module to a central processing unit socket.

Abstract: An electronic product (for example: an industrial computer) having an airflow-guiding device is disclosed, thereby preventing most of the airflow from being carried away by power supplies, wherein most of the air flow directed towards the power supplies will result in other electronic modules failing to have proper heat-dissipation. The present invention is to install metal partition plates on the inlets of air passages among the power supplies, fan modules and both sides of the electronic modules in the electronic product, wherein each of the meal partition plate is composed of a partition main body; folded plated respectively connected to two opposite sides of the partition main body; and buffer elements (for example: sponge pads) covering portions of the other two opposite sides of the partition main body.

Abstract: A method of forming battery grids or plates that includes the step of applying a lead alloy coating to a continuous strip of interconnected battery grids formed from a lead alloy grid material is disclosed. The battery grids may be formed by a continuous battery grid making process such as strip expansion, strip punching, or continuous grid casting. In one version of the method, the grid wires of a continuous strip of battery grids produced by a punching process are immersed in a melt of the lead alloy coating. In another version of the method, the grid wires of a continuous strip of battery grids produced by a punching process are deformed such that the grid wires have a cross-section other than the rectangular cross-section produced by the punching process and the strip of interconnected grids is immersed in a melt of the lead alloy coating. The method increases the cycle life of a battery.

Abstract: A method of forming battery grids or plates that includes the step of mechanically reshaping or refinishing battery grid wires to improve adhesion between the battery paste and the grid wires. The method is particularly useful in improving the paste adhesion to battery grids formed by a continuous battery grid making process (such as strip expansion, strip stamping, continuous casting) that produces grid wires and nodes with smooth surfaces and a rectangular cross-section. In a preferred version of the method, the grid wires of battery grids produced by a stamping process are deformed such that the grid wires have a cross-section other than the rectangular cross-section produced by the stamping process. The method increases the cycle life of a battery.
