Patent number: 9233438Abstract: The present application relates to a method of manufacturing a heat sink from a plurality of extruded lamellas, each lamella including a base portion having a top surface, a bottom surface, and two side surfaces, each lamella further including a fin portion extending from the top surface of the base portion, wherein the base portion is wider than the fin portion. The method includes aligning the base portions of the plurality of lamellas with the fin portion of each lamella extending in the same direction and the side surfaces of adjacent base portions facing each other; pressing the base portions of adjacent lamellas into contact with each other by applying a force to the side surface of at least one of the base portions; and welding the bottom surfaces of adjacent base portions together. A heat sink and a lamella for use in manufacturing a heat sink are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: SAPA ABInventors: Matthew Phelan, Michael Tozier, Jonas Bjuhr, David Litter, Chunming Chen

Patent number: 9233441Abstract: A machining system includes two machining devices. Each machining device includes a bracket and a machining unit, a transferring unit, a control unit mounted on the bracket. The transferring unit includes a driving member and a transferring member connected to the driving member. The control unit is electrically connected to the machining unit and the driving member. The two machining devices are arranged in a straight line. The transferring members are connected in order. The control unit of one machining device controls the machining unit to machine the workpiece, and when the machining unit has finished machining the workpiece, the control unit controls the driving member to drive the transferring member, thus the transferring member of one machining device conveys the workpiece to the transferring member of an adjacent machining device.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Teh-Yuh Lee, Ching Chang, Wei-Jung Hung
