  • Patent number: 7409271
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a base and an adjustment mechanism including an elevating member, a first elastic member, a moveable member and a damper. The elevating member has a plurality of grooves, and is moveably disposed on the base. The elastic member connects the elevating member and the base. The moveable member has an engaging portion, and is moveable between a first position and a second position. The damper connects with the elevating member to limit speed of the elevating member. When the moveable member is in the first position, the engaging portion is engaged with one of the grooves. When the moveable member is in the second position, the engaging portion is disengaged from the engaged groove so that the elevating member is moveable with respect to the base so as to adjust the height of the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20060265086
    Abstract: The invention discloses an apparatus for actuating an object movably mounted on a slide rail. The apparatus includes a processing unit, a controlling unit, a driving unit, and a motor. The processing unit is used for receiving an input signal and outputting a command signal in response to the input signal. The controlling unit is coupled to the processing unit and used for selectively outputting three kinds of enabling signals. The driving unit is coupled to the controlling unit and used for selectively outputting three kinds of driving signals each of which has a respective duty cycle. The motor is coupled to the driving unit and operatively connected to the object. The motor is used for actuating the object moving along the slide rail in accordance with different driving signal. Accordingly, when the object is reversed from the original moving direction, the apparatus of the invention can also function well.
