Abstract: A computing device may include a lid, a base, and a hinge switch. The hinge switch includes a first electrical contact coupled to the lid, and a second electrical contact coupled to the base. The second electrical contact is axially alignable with the first electrical contact to form a physical connection.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a body and a sensor assembly. The body includes a circuit board. The sensor assembly includes a converting board and a sensor attached to the converting board. The converting board is electrically connected to the circuit board. The sensor is located on one side of the circuit board and has a sensing direction that is substantially parallel to the circuit board.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a base and a cover. The base includes a sliding member slidably mounted thereon. The cover includes a touch screen. The cover is pivotally mounted on the sliding member. The cover is rotated to be substantially parallel to the base. The sliding member slides along the base to slide the cover along the base.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a base and a cover. The base includes a sliding member slidably mounted thereon. The cover is pivotally mounted on the sliding member. A bobbin is rotatably mounted on the cover. A transmission line is sleeved around the bobbin. One end of the transmission line is connected to the cover, and another end of the transmission line is connected to the base. A position of the cover relative to the base is adjustable by sliding the sliding member on the base, and the transmission line wraps on or off the bobbin when the sliding member slides on the base.

Abstract: A heat sink installing device includes a base, a pair of guiding poles, a slidable cover, a pair of latches and a number of auxiliary wings. The pair of guiding poles is perpendicularly mounted on the base and separated from each other. The slidable cover is slidably fitted on the pair of guiding poles and defines a pair of through holes running through two opposite side surfaces of the slidable cover. Each of the latches is mounted on the slidable cover and latched on one of the guiding poles correspondingly. The plurality of auxiliary wings are correspondingly attached on a side surface of the slidable cover around the through hole and inclined towards the center of the through hole by a distal end thereof away from the slidable cover.

Abstract: A latching structure of a mobile electronic device includes a button module, at least one lock pin, at least one linking rod, and at least one hook module respectively disposed in a base and a display of the mobile electronic device. One end of the linking rod is coupled to the button module and another end of the linking rod is coupled to the hook module. When the button module is pressed, the button module drives the linking rod to force the hook module to release the lock pin so as to allow the user opening the display from the base of the mobile electronic device.

Abstract: A retaining device for securing a peripheral card includes a retaining plate for fastening the peripheral card, a bracket, and a mounting apparatus. The retaining plate includes an elongated base, a blocking tab, and an inserting terminal. The bracket includes a front surface substantially parallel to the elongated base of the retaining plate and a top surface substantially parallel to the blocking tab of the retaining plate. The bracket defines a number of positioning holes at the bottom end thereof for receiving the inserting terminal of the retaining plate. The mounting apparatus is mounted on the top surface of the bracket, and includes a pressing strip for securing the blocking tab of the retaining plate on the top surface of the bracket when the inserting terminal of the retaining plate is inserted into the positioning hole on the front surface of the bracket.

Abstract: A fixation and ejection mechanism of a touchpad module is described. The fixation and ejection mechanism of the touchpad module includes a module fixing pillar, a boss and a fastener. The module fixing pillar is disposed in proximity to a touchpad module of an electronic apparatus. The boss is preferably formed on a case of the electronic apparatus. The fastener fastens the boss to the modular fixing pillar. When the fastener is disengaged from the module fixing pillar, it can be utilized to push the touchpad module upward. A method of releasing touchpad module is also disclosed herein.
