    Abstract: An electronic device opened by magnetic force includes a bottom cover, a top cover, at least one engaging module, a conductive logo, and at least one electromagnet. The top cover is capable of being opened and closed relative to the bottom cover. The top cover has a first engaging portion. The engaging module is disposed at the bottom cover and has a magnetic attraction portion, an elastic element and a second engaging portion. When the conductive logo is electrified, the electromagnet generates magnetism for attracting the magnetic attraction portion to drive the second engaging portion to be separated from the first engaging portion thus deforming the elastic element to allow the top cover to be opened. When the conductive logo is stopped from being electrified, the elastic element is restored to allow the second engaging portion to return to the original position.

  • Publication number: 20140347818
    Abstract: A power semiconductor module includes a substrate and a two-part cooling system arranged under the substrate. The cooling system has upper and lower pieces. The upper piece forms a flow channel with the substrate for a cooling liquid. The upper piece has a first inflow and an outflow, through which the cooling liquid can be introduced into the flow channel and removed. The upper piece also has at least one second inflow, which is spaced apart from the first inflow in a longitudinal direction. The lower piece has an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being connected to the outflow and the inlet being connected to the first inflow. The lower piece also has a channel branching off from the inlet, which includes at least one bypass channel, which is connected to the second inflow, so part of the cooling liquid passes through the bypass channel into the flow channel.
