  • Patent number: 12408285
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for managing chassis of data processing systems are disclosed. The chassis may be managed by reversibly attaching them to structural members such as rails. When so attached, the chassis may be fixedly held in a position. To facilitate access to an interior of the chassis, the chassis may be detached from the structural member and moved to a maintenance position. To detach the chassis from the structural member, the chassis may include a latch assembly. The latch assembly may include features to inform and remind technicians or other persons of the existence, or lack thereof, of various lines connecting the chassis, and components positioned in the chassis, to other components.

To facilitate access to an interior of the chassis, the chassis may be detached from the structural member and moved to a maintenance position. To detach the chassis from the structural member, the chassis may include a latch. The latch may be positioned in an ear of the chassis and may be protected by a frame. The frame may include a recess, hole, or other feature to facilitate access to the latch. The access may allow application of force to a single portion of the latch to rotate or otherwise actuate the latch. Actuation of the latch may facilitate detachment of the chassis from the structural member.

  • Patent number: 10162435
    Abstract: An input device and an input method using the same are provided. The input device is adapted to a computing device and includes a stylus body, a tip sensing module, a gesture sensing module, a processor and a wireless module. The tip sensing module is configured to detect a touch event on a touch screen of the computing device. The gesture sensing module is configured to detect an orientation of the stylus body. The processor is coupled to the tip sensing module and the gesture sensing module, and is configured to generate a command when the touch event on the touch screen and the orientation are detected. The wireless module is coupled to the processor and is configured to transmit the command to the computing device to trigger a function on the computing device.
