A method for accessing a physical region page (PRP) list includes obtaining a PRP address of a PRP list, in which the PRP address has M bits; performing operation to the first N bits of the PRP address and the N+1 th to Mth bits of the PRP address respectively to obtain a page base address if the PRP address is within a page boundary; and performing operation to the first N bits of the PRP address and the N+1 th to Mth bits of the PRP address respectively to obtain next PRP address pointer if the PRP address reaches the page boundary. N is an integer, and M is an integer larger than N.

An exemplary fan includes a hub and an impeller. The hub is made of metal, and includes a flange. The impeller is made of plastic. The impeller is formed around the hub and has the flange embedded therein. A method for manufacturing the fan is also provided.

Fan with metallic hub and plastic impeller and method for manufacturing such fan

An exemplary centrifugal fan includes a housing and an impeller received in the housing. The housing defines an air inlet and an air outlet thereof. Airflow driven by the impeller flows out of the housing via the air outlet. The housing further defines an opening adjacent to one end of the air outlet. The ambient air out of the centrifugal fan enters the housing via the opening, and flows out of the housing via the air outlet.

Centrifugal fan with ancillary airflow opening

A cooling fan includes a hub and an impeller. The hub includes a circular wall and an annular wall. The annular wall has a position end opposite to the circular wall. The impeller includes a blade ring and a plurality of blades integrally extending outwards from an outer circumferential surface of the blade ring. The blade ring receives the hub and has a first mounting end and a second mounting end opposite to the first mounting end. When the position end abuts the second mounting end of the blade ring, the blades extend aslant from the blade ring toward a counterclockwise direction relative to the circular wall. When the position end abuts the first mounting end of the blade ring, the blades extend aslant from the blade ring toward a clockwise direction relative to the circular wall.

Cooling fan with impeller

An exemplary housing of a cooling fan includes a metallic base plate and a plastic bear seat. Clasps extend upwardly from the base plate. The bear seat is formed on the base plate via injection process. A bottom end of the bear seat directly contacts the base plate. The clasps are embedded in the bear seat.

A bearing device includes a body, a circular cover, and a through hole commonly defined through both the body and the cover. The body is an injection molded piece made from metal powder and molten binder. The cover is an injection molded piece made from metal powder and molten binder. Two passages are defined between the body and the cover, and each passage communicates the through hole with an exterior of the bearing device, whereby lubricant can flow from the through hole to the passages. A bearing assembly having the bearing device is also provided, and a method of manufacturing the bearing device is further provided.
