20110292580 | AIRFLOW DUCT - An airflow duct for guiding air toward two heat sink apparatuses in computer includes a duct body fixed in a computer case, a first air guide channel and a second air guide channel defined in the duct body. The duct body has an air inlet and an air outlet. The first air guide channel forms a first air outlet, which opens towards a first heat sink apparatus in the computer case. The second air guide channel forms a second air outlet, which opens towards a second heat sink apparatus in the computer case. The first and second air guide channels guide air from the air inlet to the first and second heat sink apparatuses, through the first and second air outlet openings to dissipate heat respectively from the first and second heat sink apparatuses. A first air guide channel height is greater than that of the second air guide channel. | 12-01-2011 |
20110304978 | ENCLOSURE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An enclosure of an electronic device includes a bottom wall and a sidewall. A motherboard is mounted on the bottom wall. The motherboard includes a heat generation apparatus and a heat sink attached thereon. The heat sink is in contact with the heat generation apparatus, and is configured to transmit heat from the heat generation apparatus to the heat sink. The sidewall defines a number of vents, which are in alignment with the heat sink. A fan is mounted between the sidewall and the heat sink with an air inlet side of the fan directed towards the heat sink and an air outlet side of the fan directed towards the plurality of vents. | 12-15-2011 |
20110317363 | ENCLOSURE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An enclosure of an electronic device includes a bottom plate, a rear plate connected to the bottom plate, and a power supply unit.
