Abstract: A cover of an electronic device has a body inside and is penetrable by light yield from an illumination device. The body has an inner surface having a region impenetrable by light as a light-blocking region and the remaining region penetrable by light as a light-passing region. The body further has an outer surface having a region impenetrable by light as another light-blocking region and the remaining region penetrable by light as another light-passing region. The light-blocking region of the outer surface correspond to the light-passing region of the inner surface in shape, but in a size that is smaller, so that when light pass through the body, light can give an effect that the shape of the light-blocking region looks three-dimensional.

Abstract: A portable apparatus includes a display housing, a main housing, and a sound output device. The display housing has a pivot side. The main housing includes a pivot portion that defines a pivot axis and that is coupled to the pivot side of the display housing such that the display housing is pivotable relative to the main housing about the pivot axis. The pivot portion is formed with a receiving space. The sound output device is disposed in the receiving space of the pivot portion and outputs sound in a sound propagating direction substantially parallel to the pivot axis.

Abstract: A touchpad interface device comprises a sensing board, a light guide plate, a control panel, and a plurality of lighting elements. The control panel includes a plurality of transparent areas and a plurality of covering areas to form a plurality of patterns. Users can understand the operating functionality of the control panel according to the plurality of patterns, wherein the plurality of patterns comprise a plurality of scale patterns, and the plurality of scale patterns have a volume adjusting area. The plurality of light members is located under the control panel and corresponding to the volume adjusting area. When the plurality of lighting elements illuminate, the scale patterns at the corresponding position are illuminated.

Abstract: A connection port module to be disposed in an opening of a panel of an electronic apparatus is disclosed. The connection port module includes a casing having an opening at a first side and a shaft at a second side, a printed circuit board disposed in the casing and having at least one connection port at a first edge thereof being corresponding to the opening of the casing, a fixing plate covering the casing and secured to the panel and having an engaging element, a resilient element disposed in the casing and resisting against the casing and the fixing plate, and a latch device disposed in the casing and having a hook element for engaging with the engaging element of the fixing plate. The connection port module is alternatively flipped outside of the panel and hidden inside the panel of the electronic apparatus via an external force exerted thereon.

Abstract: A display method and apparatus allowing a user to customize an on-screen-display (OSD) are provided. The personalized display apparatus is achieved by means of a selectable OSD which overlays all other displays. The display apparatus includes an input interface, a processor and a memory, and has items selectable in texts, symbols, colors, patterns, locations and show up time-points.

Abstract: A finger-moistening device for fingerprint recognizing apparatus includes: a container filled with a non-volatile oil or liquid in the container, a powder-metallurgy made roller rotatably mounted and capillarily impregnated in the container to form an oil-impregnated roller, and an upper cover covering the container and having an opening for protruding a peripheral portion of the roller outwardly from the cover and the container for spreading a thin layer of oil or liquid onto the finger of a person to be detected to increase the cohesion between the finger and a prism surface of the fingerprint recognizing apparatus for obtaining a clear fingerprint image for a qualified fingerprint recognition.
