  • Publication number: 20140217874
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a cover member rotatably connected to a base member. A magnetic lock is located on a working surface of the base member. A touch-sensitive bar is located on a side surface of the base member. When the cover member and the base member are closed, the magnetic lock provides a magnetic attraction between the cover member and the base member. When the touch-sensitive bar detects a touch gesture input by a user and the touch gesture matches a predefined touch gesture, the magnetic lock releases the magnetic attraction between the cover member and the base member.

  • Publication number: 20140104774
    Abstract: A notebook computer comprises a base and a screen pivotally attached to the base. A groove is defined in the base for mounting an audio module. The audio module is pivotally mounted in the groove by a resilient member and configured to receive or send audio signals for users. The screen is rotatable between a closed position, where the screen covers the base module; and an open position, where the screen departs from the base module. When the screen is in the closed position, the audio module is in a first position, where the audio module is fully received in the groove, and the resilient member is compressed by the screen. When the screen is in the open position, the audio module is rotated to a second position, where the audio module protrudes out from the groove and the resilient member is released.

  • Publication number: 20140102923
    Abstract: A computer enclosure includes an enclosure base, an enclosure cover, two pivoting rods or axles, two height-adjusting feet, pushing members, and two connecting poles. The enclosure cover pivots on the enclosure base and the pivoting axles are connected to the enclosure base and pivot with the enclosure cover. The pivoting axles are not circular but present lobes or cams at a certain angle. The connecting poles are connected to the pivoting axles and the pushing members, the pushing members are fixed on the enclosure base and connected to the height-adjusting feet. Rotating the cover up and away from the enclosure base causes the lobes of the pivoting axles to lift and thus bear down on the height-adjusting feet, extending them through the enclosure base to take the weight of the computer and provide a larger space for the movement of cooling air underneath the computer.

  • Patent number: 7603095
    Abstract: The present invention provides a way of hysteretic switching for efficiently reducing the heavy switching between two adjacent coarse intervals. The present invention disposes a number of fine intervals to cover a range which is larger than the length of one coarse interval. Each coarse interval comprises some extra fine intervals which are exceeded the boundary of the coarse intervals in one side. The heavy switching will be postponed until the extra fine intervals are used up. In the meantime, the fine calibration unit records the number of extra fine interval which be used. An extra-boundary value will be recorded in the fine calibration unit for determining an initial fine interval in another coarse interval if the heavy switching occurs. It should be noted that the extra-boundary value could be a positive or minus value corresponding to which a forward coarse interval or a backward coarse interval the reference signal drifts into.
