Abstract: Disclosed are method and apparatus for improving battery performance by transferring waste heat generated from heat generating components to the battery that, when brought to a high temperature, attains better performance according to temperature characteristics of the battery. According to the disclosure, an electronic device capable of effecting improved battery performance comprises a central processing unit generating waste heat when being operative; a battery for supplying power to said electronic device; and thermal conducting means, first end thereof making thermal contact with said central processing unit and second end thereof making thermal contact with said battery, causing heat transfer between said central processing unit and said battery. Said waste heat generated by said central processing unit is transferred to alter the temperature of said battery such that its output voltage is stabilized and capacity enlarged.

Abstract: A base enables the elevation of a panel to be selectively adjusted. The base includes a fixed flap, a supporting flap assembly and a hinge. The fixed flap is attached to the backside of the panel. The supporting flap assembly supports the panel. The hinge connects the fixed flap and the supporting flap assembly. The supporting flap assembly includes a top flap and a fan-wheel. The top flap has a protrusion on a surface thereof, and the fan-wheel has a plurality of recesses that are positioned to selectively engage the protrusion. The fan-wheel is connected to the top flap by a pivot that enables the fan-wheel to turn with respect to the top flap. The hinge enables the fixed flap and the supporting flap assembly to turn around the shaft of the hinge to position the supporting flap assembly with respect to the fixed flap. The elevation of the base can be adjusted by changing the extent to which the fan-wheel is turned with respect to the top flap.

Abstract: A flat panel display apparatus with a mounting apparatus includes a display screen, a handle member, a supporting member and a stand member. The handle member is disposed at the edge or the rear of the display screen. The supporting member is pivotally secured to the handle member. The supporting member has a first arm portion and a second arm portion where an obtuse angle is formed between the first arm portion and the second arm portion. The stand member is disposed at an end of the second arm portion to provide friction between the second arm portion and contacted surface thereon and prevent the second arm portion from escaping as the display screen is in an upright position.
