  • Publication number: 20180335810
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes an electronic device and a base. The base includes a base body and a connection structure. The connection structure includes a cover and at least one pivot assembly. The pivot assembly is pivoted between the base body and the cover, such that the cover is adapted to pivot between a closed state and an opened state relatively to the base body. The cover and the base body cover the pivot assembly. The cover has a connection segment. When the electronic device is assembled to the base, the connection segment is adapted to be inserted into a slot of the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20180164856
    Abstract: A hinge module including a fixing member, a moving assembly, and a torque member is provided. The moving assembly includes a bracket and an axis body protruding from the bracket. The torque member includes a first end portion and a second end portion opposite to each other. The first end portion is fixed to the fixing member. The second end portion includes a lunular shape axle sleeve with an opening. The lunular shape axle sleeve is rotatably sleeved around the axis body for providing friction so as to form torques while the axis body is rotated relative to the lunular shape axle sleeve. The lunular shape axle sleeve has a gradual changed thickness. An electronic device having the hinge module is further provided.

  • Patent number: 9921610
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes first body and second body pivoted to the first body. The first body includes casing, supporter, first magnetic component and torsion component. The casing includes accommodating trench and first trench. First lateral of the supporter is pivoted to the casing via the torsion component, and second lateral of the supporter includes notch. When the supporter is located in the accommodating trench and the first magnetic component extends into the notch, the supporter is positioned inside the accommodating trench by the first magnetic component, and the torsion component stores elastic potential energy. When the second body rotates close to the first body, the first magnetic component exits the notch due to magnetic repulsive force of second magnetic component of the second body, and the torsion component releases the elastic potential energy so that the second lateral of the supporter rotates out to support the second body.

  • Patent number: 9882588
    Abstract: An amplifier circuit that includes a first power amplifier configured to drive a load and a second power amplifier configured to drive the load through an impedance step-up network. The impedance step-up network is connected to an output of the second power amplifier. The impedance step-up network is configured to switch into a first mode to present an increased impedance to the first power amplifier, and switch into a second mode in which the impedance step-up network steps-up an impedance seen by the second power amplifier looking into the impedance step-up network.

  • Publication number: 20160349909
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a first body and a second body. The second body includes a processing unit, and a first touch panel, a second touch panel, a keyboard and at least one detecting module electrically connected to the processing unit, respectively. The keyboard is slidably disposed above the second touch panel, and the detecting module is adapted to detect a position of the keyboard. When the keyboard is located at a first position, the keyboard module covers the second touch panel, and the detecting module transmits a first signal to the processing unit so that the first touch panel is turned on. When the keyboard is located at a second position, the keyboard exposes the second touch panel, and the detecting module transmits a second signal to the processing unit so that the first touch panel is turned off. A touch panel controlling method of the portable electronic device is further provided.
