Abstract: This document describes a vapor chamber within an electronic device. In aspects, an electronic device includes a middle frame that provides mechanical support for the electronic device, a middle plate affixed to the middle frame to define an inner layer of a chassis, and a vapor chamber disposed inside the middle plate. The vapor chamber includes a first region proximate to a heat source and a second region opposite the first region. A coolant is evaporated in a first mode at the first region by heat absorbed from the heat source and is condensed in a second mode in the second region. This vapor chamber permits cooling of elements within the electronic device at lower cost and/or smaller size than many conventional cooling systems.

Abstract: A support stand suitable for a hand-held device is provided. The support stand has a first support member and a second support member. The second support member slidably fits the first support member and could be temporarily fixed at different positions on the first support member to adjust the length of the support stand. The hand-held device has a display screen and an antenna. Because the length of the support stand is variable, the hand-held device could be laid on the table by various inclination angles. Besides, the projections of the support stand and the antenna on the display screen are not overlapped, and the influence of the support stand made of metal on the signal of the antenna would be lowered.

Abstract: A wheeled distance measuring device includes a longitudinal pole having two segments, a housing and a casing attached to the segments and pivotally coupled together, a latch device pivotally attached to the housing and having a latch, and a lock device pivotally attached to the casing and having a catch for engaging with the latch of the latch device and for detachably securing the segments together. The casing includes a chamber formed by a wall for receiving the lock device, and a channel formed in the wall for pivotally engaging with a water-drop-shaped pivot member of the lock device and for pivotally attaching and coupling the lock device to the casing.

Abstract: An input device includes a casing having a retention groove, a flexible membrane disposed on the casing and having a plurality of keys, a connecting portion an outer flange extending outwardly from an outer surface of the connecting portion, an upper recess formed on an inner surface of the connecting portion, and a lower recess formed on the inner surface below the upper recess, and a fixing ring for disposing below the flexible membrane so as to be received in one of the upper and lower recesses. Disposing the fixing ring below the flexible membrane in the lower recess after insertion of the outer flange of the flexible membrane into the retention groove results in fixing of the outer flange of the flexible membrane within the retention groove.
