Patent number: 6912122Abstract: A rotatable display fixing module is described. The rotatable display fixing module has a first rotational device, a second rotational device, a fixing switch and an auxiliary fixing stud. The first rotational device rotatably connects with a display and the second rotational device. The fixing switch and the auxiliary fixing stud rebound up to fix the second rotational device at predetermined angles and the auxiliary fixing stud passes through a fixing hole on a rotational element of the second rotational device. The display can therefore rotate on the first rotational device only. When the fixing switch and the auxiliary fixing stud are pressed, the display can rotate on the first rotational device and the second rotational device.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2003Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: Quanta Computer Inc.Inventors: Wen-Hsiang Chen, Kuo-Chang Yang, Jung-Wen Chang

Patent number: 6891722Abstract: A magnetic locking device is described. The magnetic locking device is utilized for locking an electric device upper cover especially for locking both sides of the display cover of a notebook/tablet dual-purpose personal computer. The magnetic locking device has a lock module and a hook module. The lock module installed in the upper cover has a lock module base, a release button, a magnet, a first bezel and a second bezel. The hook module installed in the electric device base has a hook module base, a spring device, and a hook. The spring device pulls the hook to hide in the electric device base when the hook is not working to improve the electric device appearance and to eliminate interference during operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Quanta Computer Inc.Inventors: Wen-Hsiang Chen, Kuo-Chang Yang, Jung-Wen Chang

Publication number: 20040227724Abstract: A liquid crystal display with optical disk drive control functions is described. The liquid crystal display is utilized in a notebook/tablet dual-purpose computer. The liquid crystal display has a liquid crystal display panel, a plurality of control buttons, and an option determining device. The control buttons can directly control the optical disk drive to play an optical disk content on the liquid crystal display panel after the control functions of the control buttons are set by the option determining device. The option determining device is capable of switching within predetermined working functions of the liquid crystal display. The computer is capable of playing the optical disk content as a central processing unit thereof shuts down. The option determining device further includes an option controller and an option inductor to switch the liquid crystal display to a handwriting input panel and set the functions of the control buttons.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2003Publication date: November 18, 2004Inventors: Jung-Wen Chang, Wen-Hsiang Chen

Publication number: 20040194256Abstract: A two-sided POP UP structure is employed to pop up a LCD screen of notebook/tablet PC while releasing. A display panel of a notebook/tablet PC is connected to a mainframe of the notebook/tablet PC via a hinge. The two-sided POP UP structure has a male part and female part. One end of the male part is fixed to the hinge, and the other end is a cylinder with a holding rib. One end of the female part is fixed to the display panel, and the other end is an elastic metal shaped around the cylinder of the male part. The elastic metal is cut to form a rotation slot for the holding rib. When the holding rib interferes with the elastic metal, the elastic metal deforms to allow the LCD screen to pop up more easily.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventors: Wen-Hsiang Chen, Kuo-Chang Yang, Chung-Yu Lee

Patent number: 6771497Abstract: A heat dissipation apparatus for a notebook computer with a desktop central processing unit is described. The heat dissipation apparatus has a heat pipe, a first heat exchanger, a first fan, a second heat exchanger, and a second fan. The heat pipe couples with the desktop central processing unit to absorb heat therefrom. The first heat exchanger couples with the heat pipe directly above the desktop central processing unit. The first fan blows on the first heat exchanger to remove internal heat. The second heat exchanger couples with the heat pipe to absorb the residual heat from the heat pipe and the second fan blows on the second heat exchanger to remove the residual heat. The second fan starts working when the internal temperature of the notebook computer is too high. Both the first fan and second fan comprise two inlets respectively, and therefore the cold air is from both inside and outside of the notebook computer.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2002Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Quanta Computer, Inc.Inventors: Wen-Hsiang Chen, Jung-Wen Chang

Publication number: 20030162608Abstract: An improved structure of a golf club head is disclosed. The golf club head comprises a bottom housing made from a metallic material, a housing cap made from a complex material. The top section and the impact face are made from complex material and a metallic material is adhered onto the impact face (with increasing hardness) such that there is elasticity, when the club head impacts a ball, to better control the ball. The bottom or the lateral side of the club head is provided with an air inlet for fixing a heavy block so as to adjust the weigh center of the club head to improve performance of impacting a golf ball.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2002Publication date: August 28, 2003Inventor: Wen-Hsiang Chen
