  • Publication number: 20080137285
    Abstract: A height-adjustable docking station including a main frame, a hook structure, and a lever is provided. The hook structure and the lever are pivoted on the main frame. The hook structure has a plurality of positioning grooves at different levels. One end of the lever has an adjusting rod, and the other end of the lever has a tenon for being wedged into one of the positioning grooves. When a user adjusts the adjusting rod, the tenon comes off the original positioning groove and is wedged into other positioning groove, thus changing the horizontal level of the docking station.

  • Publication number: 20060081709
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an image capture device comprising two pivotal shafts being mounted respectively on two distal ends thereof for pivotally connecting with pivotal holes on a top end of a screen of a notebook computer, an electromagnetic switch being mounted on an inner circuit thereof, and a magnet being mounted on the top end of the screen of the notebook computer at a position corresponding to a rotation path of the electromagnetic switch. Thus, when the backside of the image capture device is rotated to face a user, the electromagnetic switch is in ON state while the magnet is exactly on a position corresponding to the electromagnetic switch, enabling the circuit thereof to convert a reverse image being captured into an erect image.
