  • Publication number: 20140020484
    Abstract: Input device configurations are described. In one or more implementations, an input device includes a sensor substrate having one or more conductors and a flexible contact layer spaced apart from the sensor substrate. The flexible contact layer is configured to flex to contact the sensor substrate to initiate an input of a computing device. The flexible contact layer includes a force concentrator pad that is configured to cause pressure to be channeled through the force concentrator pad to cause the flexible contact layer to contact the sensor substrate to initiate the input.

  • Patent number: 7040537
    Abstract: A scanner. The scanner comprises a flat cable and a cable holder. The flat cable comprises a first end and a second end. The second end moves to or away from the first end along a first path. The cable holder is disposed at a restricting point between the first end and the second end, whereby, when the second end moves to the first end, the cable holder contains and folds the flat cable.

  • Patent number: 6581926
    Abstract: A structure for fixing a roller on a base is disclosed. The structure includes a sheet-like elastomer having a guiding hole for trapping a shaft of the roller, and two fixing elements respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the base, which is located at two lateral sides of the roller, for receiving two ends of the sheet-like elastomer to provide a deformation of the sheet-like elastomer for providing a suppress power for the roller.

  • Patent number: 6575452
    Abstract: A mechanism for automatically and adjustably feeding sheets is provided. The mechanism includes a paper dividing plate, a roller for picking the sheets, wherein a channel is formed between the paper dividing plate and the roller, and the sheets are driven by friction between the roller and the sheets to pass through the channel, and a controller having a first end engaged with the paper dividing plate and a second end as a fulcrum for the paper dividing plate, wherein when an unbalanced force from the roller is applied on the paper dividing plate, the paper dividing plate pivots on the fulcrum to adjust the unbalanced force.

  • Patent number: 6557848
    Abstract: A paper-stopping mechanism applied in an automatic document feeder (ADF). The paper-stopping mechanism includes a shaft, a stepping motor for carrying the shaft to rotate, a cam structure having a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion and carried by the shaft to rotate the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion thereof, a paper-stopping arm having a bearing point, wherein the bearing point is moved against by the first protruding portion to move the paper-stopping arm upward, and an elastic buckling device for buckling the paper-stopping arm when the paper-stopping arm is moving upward to stay at a paper-feeding position, and for shifting when the second protruding portion of the cam structure is rotated against the elastic buckling device for removing the paper-stopping arm from the elastic buckling device to return to a paper-stopping position.
