  • Patent number: 11962878
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided, including a main body and a camera module. The camera module has a frame, a lens unit disposed in the frame, a guiding member, and a hinge. The guiding member is affixed to the main body and has a rail and a spring sheet. The hinge pivotally connects to the frame and the guiding member. When the camera module is in the retracted position, the camera module is hidden in a recess of the main body. When the camera module slides out of the recess from the retracted position along the rail into the operational position, the spring sheet is pressed by the hinge to increase the friction between the hinge and the guiding member.

  • Patent number: 6283190
    Abstract: A programmable window blind assembly includes a window blind device having a pull cord unit connected operably to a blind unit. A motor drive unit includes a bi-directional motor that has a drive shaft coupled to the pull cord unit such that rotation of the drive shaft can result in movement of the blind unit. A sensor unit generates motor rotation signals for indicating angular speed and angular displacement of the drive shaft. A programmable data storage device has blind position information stored therein. A processor controls the motor to operate in a first direction for moving the blind unit to a retracted position and in a second direction for moving the blind unit to an extended position.
