Patent number: 6442637Abstract: An expandable mobile computer system is described. The mobile computer system includes a peripheral expansion interface that allows a large number of different sized expansion peripherals to be created and used with the mobile computer system. A pair of rails forms a first opening of the peripheral expansion interface wherein an expansion peripheral device may be inserted. Large expansion peripherals may extend in a first dimension out of that first opening. The rails also form a second opening along a second dimension orthogonal to the first dimension. Large expansion peripherals may also extend outward from the peripheral expansion interface in the second dimension.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1999Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: Handspring, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey C.

Patent number: 6239968Abstract: The present invention provides a personal information system unit detachable case. This case has a top cover assembly, a bottom cover assembly, both of which are pivotable around a longitudinal axis forming a hinge assembly. The top and bottom cover assemblies are similar in shape and function to allow a personal information management electronic system unit to be mounted within the case either facing to the right or to the left at the user's preference. Mounted on the hinge assembly is a mounting rail, which is pivotally mounted on the hinge assembly of the detachable case. This mounting rail extends most of the internal vertical dimension of the case. The mounting rail provides a means for removably attaching a personal management unit within the detachable case. Indents and other openings are provided in the top and/or bottom cover assemblies to accommodate a specific personal system unit or other type of electronic instrument whether it faces toward the top assembly or bottom assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1999Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Ideo Product Development Inc.Inventors: Daniel Sung-hwe Kim, Edwin Thorne, III, Dennis Joseph Boyle, Markus Diebel, Elisha Tal

Patent number: 5954233Abstract: A sealed container stores therein liquid such as eye drops in a sealed state. For dispensing the liquid first time, the factory-sealed outlet of the liquid is to be unsealed with a needled of a liquid discharge plug fitted within a cap in association with a user's operation of the cap in a loosening or tightening direction when the liquid is first dispensed therefrom. The container includes a one-way rotation preventing mechanism provided respectively at mutually opposing portions of a liquid discharge plug prefitted with the cap and the container. This mechanism prevents rotation of the liquid discharge plug in the loosening direction of the cap while allowing rotation thereof in the screwing direction of the cap when the cap has been tightened to a predetermined screwing position immediately before the needle initiates it penetrating action into the sealed liquid outlet.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1998Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoichi Kawashima, Daniel Sung-hwe Kim
