  • Publication number: 20100133504
    Abstract: A new light emitting device is disclosed. The device includes a reflector, a surface layer, and a light emitting layer located there-between. The light emitting layer emits light at a wavelength ?. An optical thickness from the light emitting layer to the reflector is approximately m*?/4, where m is a positive integer. Furthermore, the said device may, in addition, include an optical transform layer adjoining to the light emitting layer. Thus, the light emitted by the device can be not only collimated but also polarized.

  • Patent number: 7712518
    Abstract: A heat dissipation apparatus used in a computer comprises a heat sink and a star-shaped spring with multiple directional arms, wherein each directional arm extends in a corresponding direction, and the tangent direction of the corresponding contact boundary formed by securing the direction arm to the heat sink is perpendicular to the corresponding direction. The force imposed from the spring on the heat sink is uniform as a result of the perpendicular mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7286341
    Abstract: A keyboard device applicable on a computer device and includes a first side with a first pivoting unit and a second side with a second pivoting unit. The position of the first side is opposite to that of the second side. Both of the first side and the second side are connected with the base of the computer device via their respective pivoting unit. Therefore, the keyboard can be rotated relative to the base via the first pivoting unit and the second pivoting unit making the conversion steps from normal notebook operation status to tablet PC operation status easier and vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20070187068
    Abstract: A heat dissipation apparatus used in a computer comprises a heat sink and an angularly shaped spring with multiple directional arms, wherein each of the directional arms extends in a corresponding direction and the tangent directions of the contact boundary between the heat sink and the multi directional arms on the spring are perpendicular to the corresponding directions. The force imposed from the spring on the heat sink is uniform as a result of the perpendicular mechanism, and therefore the heat dissipation efficiency is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20070138369
    Abstract: A support apparatus includes a base portion, a rotation shaft and a bracket portion. The base portion is attached to a device. The bracket portion is coupled to the base portion by inserting the rotation shaft through the bracket portion and the base portion, and the rotation shaft is perpendicular to the base portion. The bracket portion is rotatable using the rotation shaft as a pivot. The bracket portion includes a hinge, a rotation shaft and a stand. The hinge is secured to the base portion by the rotation shaft. The rotation shaft is inserted into the hinge and the rotation shaft is perpendicular to the rotation shaft. The stand is coupled with the two ends of the rotation shaft. The stand supports the device with a predetermined angle between them. The stand can be rotatable so that the device stands relying upon either one of the four sides and the stand.
