Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

Abstract: A motherboard for a portable notebook computer includes a circuit board, and an extension card module connected with the circuit board. The circuit board defines a cutout in one corner thereof and includes a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer includes a first area, a second area, a third area, and a fourth area. The first area and the third area are located near one edge of the circuit board. The second area and the fourth area are located near an opposite edge of the circuit board. The first area and the second area are near the cutout. A central processing unit, a graphics processing unit (GPU), a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card, and a memory are located on the first through fourth areas of the circuit board respectively. The extension card module selectively receives a variety of extension cards.

Abstract: An anti-theft alarm system includes a detecting switch portion including a first switch and a second switch, a keyboard controller (KBC), and a key of a keyboard of the portable computer for enabling the alarm system. If the portable computer is moved without deactivation of the alarm system, the second switch opens, causing a change of a voltage at the first switch which is detected by the KBC, the KBC thereby sends an alarm control signal to an audio system of the portable computer, and the audio system produces an audible sound for a theft deterrence effect.

Abstract: A switch apparatus for activating an alarm function of an alarm circuit on a motherboard of a portable computer, the switch apparatus includes a switch mounted on the motherboard and a pressing device mounted on a base. The pressing device includes a pressing member deformable via an outside force to depress the switch.
