  • Publication number: 20120087070
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a body, a casing, and a resilient element. The casing accommodates the body such that the body can slide within the casing. The casing has an opening through which an electrical connection unit connected to the body protracts out of, or retracts into, the casing. The resilient element has an end connected to the casing and another end abutting against the body. The resilient element exerts a resilient restoring force upon the body in response to the sliding of the body. The casing has a stop structure configured to operate in conjunction with an engagement structure of the body and thereby limit the range of the sliding of the body. The engagement structure can be disengaged from the stop structure to separate the body from the casing. Accordingly, the portable electronic device has multiple uses, namely quick maintenance, easy assembly, body protection, and automatic accommodation.

  • Publication number: 20120086274
    Abstract: A circuit system layout method for laying out a circuit system has a standby power supply unit. The circuit system includes a core circuit set and a non-core circuit set and operates on power supplied by a power source. The core circuit set is still enabled to finalize a temporary process with the power supplied by the standby power supply unit upon an unexpected interruption of the power supplied by the power source. The core circuit set is connected to an energy storing element for storing and discharging the power, and connected to a one-way element for ensuring that the power stored in the energy storing element is supplied to the core circuit set only. The core circuit set performs the temporary process even when the power source does not enable the circuit system to operate. The circuit system is further provided.
