  • Patent number: 8283581
    Abstract: An integral keyboard assembly is provided. The integral keyboard assembly includes a top casing, a keyboard module, and a support plate. The first surface of the top casing is defined a keyboard bonding area where a plurality of openings is arranged as a keyboard structure distribution. The keyboard module includes multiple keys with interspaces formed therebetween. Each of the keys is inserted into a corresponding one of the openings. The support plate is coupled to the top casing so that the keyboard module is sandwiched between the top casing and the support plate. By implementing the present invention, the keyboard assembly has better integrity and space impression. Furthermore, the keyboard module is provided with improved support by utilizing the support plate.

  • Patent number: 6049193
    Abstract: A method and device for executing battery auto-learning applied to a portable data processor with a rechargeable battery and a current gauge is disclosed. The device includes a charging device, a first switch and a second switch controlled by the portable data processor. The notebook computer can control the first switch, the second switch and the charging device automatically so that the battery learning process can be executed automatically instead of being operated manually. It can save a lot of manufacturing cost and time. Moreover, if the user wants to eliminate the memory effect of the rechargeable battery, he can set the executing times for executing the battery auto-learning to achieve the purpose.
