Patent number: 8289701Abstract: A heat receiver includes a casing defining a flow passage on a thermal conductive plate. The thermal conductive plate is received on an electronic component. The thermal conductive plate serves to transfer heat to coolant in the flow passage. At least two inflow nozzles extend into the casing to have discharge openings opposed to the upstream end of the flow passage. The coolant flows into the flow passage through the inflow nozzles. At least two streams of the coolant are thus generated in the flow passage. The streams widely expand or spread in the flow passage. The coolant flows through the flow passage without stagnating. The coolant can thus absorb the heat of the thermal conductive plate in an efficient manner. This results in an efficient heat absorption of the heat receiver.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2007Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Fujistu LimitedInventors: Masumi Suzuki, Michimasa Aoki, Yosuke Tsunoda, Masuo Ohnishi, Masahiko Hattori

Publication number: 20120127667Abstract: A circuit element is arranged on an organic substrate and connected to a wiring pattern arranged on the organic substrate. An internal connection electrode is formed on a conductive support body by electroforming so as to obtain a unitary block of the internal connection electrode and the support body. Each end of each of the internal connection electrodes connected into a unitary block by the support body is connected to the wiring pattern. After the circuit element is sealed by resin, the support body is peeled off, so as to obtain individual internal connection electrodes separately and the other end of each of the internal connection electrodes is used as an external connection electrode on the front surface while the external connection electrode on the rear surface is connected to the wiring pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2010Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicants: KAGOSHIMA UNIVERSITY, MOLEX JAPAN CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenji Ohsawa, Rinkou Fukunaga, Katsuya Tsuruta, Kei Mizuta, Masamichi Ishihara

Structure of heat dissipation substrate for power light emitting diode (LED) and a device using same
Patent number: 8174832Abstract: A structure of a heat dissipation substrate of power LEDs and a device made by using the same overcomes drawbacks such as complex structure of power LEDs, strict manufacturing process, low production efficiency, high production cost, and unreliable product quality. The structure of the heat dissipation substrate includes a one-piece circuit board having a counterbore and metal lines thereon, wherein the counterbore is formed by a through hole and a blind hole communicating with each other. The through hole is smaller than the blind hole, and both of them share the same direction of axis. The heat sink has a one-piece terraced structure formed by a upper terrace and a lower terrace; the heat sink matches the counterbore to form a firm fit.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2008Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Foshan Nationstar Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Binhai Yu, Junzheng Li, Xunli Xia -
