Abstract: A heat dissipation module is suitable for a host apparatus. The heat dissipation module of the present invention has a shell body. The shell body has a heat conductive side and an air outlet-inlet side. The air outlet-inlet side has an air outlet and an air inlet. A contact sink is installed on the heat conductive side for contacting a position where needs heat dissipation in the host apparatus. In addition, there is a heat conductive tube, a heat dissipation fin and a waterproof fan disposed in the shell body. Thus, heat energy conducted from the contact sink is conducted to the heat dissipation. Furthermore, the waterproof fan exhausts the air, which passes through the heat dissipation, out of the shell body via the air outlet, so as to release heat generated by the system of the host apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a fixing structure for a flat display, such as an LCD having a liquid crystal panel, in which a first engaging portion is formed on both side surfaces of the flat display. The fixing structure has two holders and a shielding device. Each of the holders has a first fixing portion corresponding to the first engaging portion, and a second engaging portion. The first fixing portion detachably engages the holder to its corresponding side surface. The shielding device is applied onto the back surface of the liquid crystal panel, and is formed with a second fixing portion corresponding to the second engaging portion. The second fixing portion detachably engages the shielding device to the holders.

Abstract: A height-adjustable apparatus for supporting a flat monitor is disclosed. The height-adjustable apparatus includes a first support unit, an elastic element, and a second support unit. The first support unit has a first engaging device. One end of the elastic element is affixed on the first support unit. The second support unit, which is movably sleeved into the first support unit, has a second engaging device, a first end, and a second end. The first end touches the elastic element, and the second end connects the flat monitor. When the first engaging device and the second engaging device engage with each other, the height-adjustable apparatus has a first length. When the elastic element is extended with an external force, the second support unit slides to a position such that the apparatus has a second length. The first length is longer than the second length.

Abstract: A dual-screen display apparatus and a dual screen information processing apparatus are provided. The apparatus includes a first casing, a second casing, and a touch panel input device. The first casing having a first display panel and the second casing having a second display panel are pivotally connected to each other. When the first and the second casings are in a folded configuration, the first display panel faces the second display panel with the touch panel input device being accommodated therebetween. When the first and the second casings are in an unfolded configuration, the first display panel and the second display panel are respectively positioned to face different directions, and the touch panel input device is configured to input information.

Abstract: A hinge assembly for pivotably connecting the display portion and the body portion of the portable computer comprises a first fastening portion for attaching to the display portion, a second fastening portion for attaching to the body portion, and a pivot portion for pivotably connecting the first fastening portion with the second fastening portion. The second fastening portion also has a first support arm for horizontally inserting into the insertion hole. The cables, for transmitting signals and power extending from the display portion, are electrically connected through connectors to the cable connection region. The cable connect region is formed on the rear wall or bottom wall of the body portion. The hinge assembly of the invention greatly reduces the extraordinary sound resulting from the rotation of the display portion. Also, some covering components can be eliminated to make the assembly much easier.

Abstract: A rotary encoder able to produce a first output signal and a second output signal. The rotary encoder of this invention includes a rotary wheel supported by a frame. An elastic means disposed on the frame provides elastic force to the inside wall of the rotary wheel. A plate is mounted on and rotates with the rotary wheel, and there are a plurality of apertures arranged at a predetermined pitch circularly around an axis of rotation of the plate. An axial rod extends perpendicularly from the center of the plate. Pressure applied to the rotary wheel causes the elastic means to compress and shifts the axis of the wheel and plate such that axial rod contacts a switch and produces the first output signal.
