Abstract: A latch apparatus for a cover and a housing is mounted on at least one side in a front of the housing. The latch apparatus includes a bracket rotatably attached to at least one outer side in a front of the housing and a linkage coupled to the bracket. When the bracket is rotated in a first direction, the linkage applies a force on the cover relative to the housing for detachment of the cover from the housing.

Abstract: An apparatus for retaining a computer card in a computer having a riser card has a bracket for receiving the computer card and a retaining member. The retaining member engages the computer card and provides a preload force on the computer card.

Abstract: A fan control system for a computer system at the different altitudes is provided. The fan control system includes a current detector and a controller. The current sensing circuit detects a current of a fan at full speed. The controller outputs a control signal for controlling the fan within the computer system according to the fan current.

Abstract: An electrical adapter is provided for engaging a connector plug. The adapter comprises a male end, a female end, and a retention member. The male end is disposed at one end of the adapter for connecting the adapter to a female receptacle corresponding to the connector plug. The female end is disposed at another end of the adapter for engaging the connector plug. The female end comprises a top cap having a button disposed thereon. The retention member comprises a holder section, an energy storage section, and an energy release section. The holder section holds the connector plug. The energy storage section stores energy resulting from when the connector plug engages the retention member. When engaged by the button, the energy release section releases the energy stored in the energy storage section such that the connector plug automatically ejects from the adapter.

Abstract: A fastening apparatus for fastening a first device to a second device is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a standoff member disposed through a through hole of the first device; a clamp member having a clamp portion for clamping the standoff member; a sleeve member having a hollow body and enclosing the clamp member, wherein the clamp member is compressed in the hollow body; a resilient member wrapping around the sleeve member; a rotatable cam member pivotly coupled to the clamp member; and a cap member arranged between the rotatable cam member and the resilient member, wherein the rotatable cam member is rotated to a first location to compress the resilient member for causing a first preload force exerted on the second device.

Abstract: A heat exchanger is connected with a heat source in order to dissipate heat generated by the heat source. The fastening apparatus includes a first bracket and a second bracket, both connected to the base, and a first latch element. There is a first opening formed in the first bracket. The first latch element is connected to one side of the heat exchanger, and includes a first protrusion and a first contact section. The first protrusion penetrates through the first opening making the first bracket provide movement limitation to the heat exchanger. The second bracket provides additional movement limitation to the heat exchanger. To separate the heat exchanger from the base, the first contact section is pressed to make the first protrusion move out of the first opening.

Abstract: A fastening apparatus for fastening a heat exchanger on a base, and the method using the same are provided. The heat exchanger is connected with a heat source for dissipating heat generated by the heat source through the heat exchanger. The fastening apparatus includes a first bracket connected to the base, a first latch element, and a second bracket connected to the base. There is a first opening formed in the first bracket. The first latch element is connected to one side of the heat exchanger, and includes a first protrusion and a first contact section for facilitating a user to operate the first latch element. The first protrusion penetrates through the first opening making the first bracket provide movement limitation to the heat exchanger. The second bracket connected with the heat exchanger provides additional movement limitation to the heat exchanger while there is no relative motion between the heat exchanger and the base in the meanwhile.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a retention apparatus for installation of a device into a device cage, wherein the device cage has a front cage opening and a rear cage opening. The retention apparatus includes: an elongate main body adapted to be positioned on a side of the device; and a latching mechanism mounted on the elongate main body and located corresponding to a location substantially near the rear cage opening for releasably engaging with the device cage. The user can unlatch the latching mechanism near the rear cage opening and move forward the electronic device in combination with the retention apparatus by a finger so that the electronic device in combination with the retention apparatus protrudes from the front cage opening and then the electronic device in combination with the retention apparatus can be removed from the device cage conveniently.
