Abstract: An electronic device with supporting stands includes an input/output module, two stands and a limiter. The two stands are obliquely disposed on the back side of the input/output module. The stands are limited by the limiter to move synchronously. At the same time, the limiter has two slots penetrated by the stands to limit moving range for the stands. Then the stands are controlled to swing with an angle and finally the visual angle of the input/output module is varied in suitable range.

Abstract: A method for adjusting settings of an electronic device is disclosed. The method includes the steps as follows: providing a user interface including a plurality of main setting menu keys and a control unit; selecting one of the main setting menu keys to call a main setting value corresponding to the main setting menu key; outputting a corresponding main setting option image at least including a main setting value display area according to the main setting value; and providing a touch control event to operate the control unit for adjusting the main setting value and then display the adjusted main setting value on the main setting value display area. The touch control event includes a touch displacement event and a touch event. The method for adjusting the settings is contemplated for user's intuitive operation to save the time cost.

Abstract: A portable electronic device with switchable input/output portions is provided. A control portion is disposed at a main body module of the portable electronic device, and it includes multiple input/output portions. Only one of the input/output portions is exposed out of the main body module to allow the user to operate. In addition, the user may switch the input/output portions corresponding to different modes by rotating, sliding and other operations. This is not only space-saving, but also facilitates the operation of the user.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a screen module, a main body module and an input/output module. The screen module is pivotally connected with the body module. The input/output module is electrically connected with the main body module. An actuating element is disposed at a bottom of the screen module. When the screen module is opened respectively to the body module to be opened, the actuating element is driven to swing to push a front end of the input/output module to be lifted to drive the input/output module to be out of a state that the keyboard abuts against the main body module. Therefore, the portable electronic device is easy to be operated. Moreover, the heat dissipation is improved to keep the internal temperature low and reduce energy consumption.

The input/output module is electrically connected with the main body module. The input/output module is pivotally connected with the screen module and close to the bottom. When the screen module is rotated relative to the main body module to be opened, the front end of the input/output module is driven to lift to drive the input/output module to be out of a state that the input/output module abuts against the main body module. Therefore, the portable electronic device is easy to be operated. Moreover, the heat dissipation is improved to keep the internal temperature low and reduce energy consumption.

Abstract: A heated step system for a vehicle having a heat source associated with a compartment. The system includes a step attached to an exterior portion of the vehicle and at least one aperture located near the step. The system further includes a duct having a first end in fluid communication with the compartment and a second end in fluid communication with the at least one aperture. The duct conveys warm air from the compartment to the at least one aperture so that the warm air passes through the at least one aperture to an area around the step, thereby warming the step.

Abstract: In a vehicle (10) of the type having an engine (12) and a radiator (14), an airflow diverter (20) is attachable in fluid receiving communication with the radiator. The airflow diverter generally includes a formed foil (22) having an arcuate portion (24), the formed foil, when placed in an airstream (16), is capable of redirecting the airstream from a first direction (32) to at least a second direction (34).

Abstract: A vehicle interior cooling system (200) for a vehicle having a cabin (208) and an engine (207) for providing propulsion power generally includes a first cabin cooling system (202) driven by the engine of the vehicle having a first condenser (214). The vehicle interior cooling system also generally includes a second cabin cooling system (203) driven by electrical power having a cold storage device (210) and a second condenser (232), with the first condenser and the second condenser being in an airflow line (260). The second cabin cooling system selectively thermally charges the cold storage device when the engine is in an on position. The second cabin cooling system is also selectable to thermally cool the cabin when the engine is in an off position and selectable to thermally cool the cabin when the engine is in the on position.

Abstract: A radiator fan shroud (100) is disclosed that is adapted to be attached to a vehicle radiator (96)—for example, the radiator of a Class 8 truck. The fan shroud includes a peripheral cover portion (112) and a ring assembly (102) that encloses the blades of the engine-driven radiator fan (88). The ring assembly may be formed integrally with the peripheral cover portion or may include a separable ring extension (120). The ring assembly includes a plurality of ports (104) defined by vanes (106) at the rearward portion of the ring assembly. The ports are selectively positioned to manage the airflow in the engine compartment, directing the airflow towards selected locations. The vanes may be fluted. The fan shroud may be formed from two or more pieces that cooperatively form the fan shroud, to facilitate installation and maintenance of the fan shroud.

Abstract: A drag reduction system introduces pressurized gases to selected regions of a vehicle, such as a tractor trailer combination 100 for reducing the aerodynamic drag thereon. The system 140 or any combination of components thereof may be installed on new combinations or may be retrofitted on existing combinations. The drag reduction system may be controlled to selectively determine which regions receive pressurized gases and at what flow rates such regions receive the pressurized gas.

Abstract: A headlight housing (10) is provided. The housing is adapted to be mounted upon a vehicle, the vehicle adapted to ride upon a ground surface (20). The housing includes a front section (12) adapted to emit light from a headlight (24). The housing also includes a top surface (14) of a substantially constant width extending aft of a top edge (11) of the front section, wherein the top surface is oriented substantially parallel with the ground surface when mounted upon the vehicle in an illuminating position. The housing further includes a bottom surface (16) of a substantially constant width extending aft of a bottom edge (34) of the front surface, wherein the bottom surface approaches the top surface as the top and bottom surfaces extend aft to taper a height of the housing. The method of positioning a headlight housing in an aerodynamic position is also disclosed.
