The lower cover includes a lower plate for supporting the display thereon, a first clip to fix the display on the lower plate, a bracket, and a rib. The upper cover includes an upper plate adjoined to the lower plate to cover the display, two fins pressing against the first clip, a second clip secured to the bracket, and a beam engaged with the rib.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a motherboard and a heat dissipating plate. The motherboard includes a base. The base includes a number of ports and an electronic element. The heat dissipating plate includes a substrate and a number of fasteners extending out from the substrate for engaging with the number of ports of the motherboard. The substrate defines a bulging cavity for engaging with and dissipating heat from the electronic element.

Abstract: A power tool has a motor having a stator made by separately forming pole pieces, return path pieces and field coils. The field coils are placed over necks of the pole path pieces and the return path pieces are affixed to the pole pieces. An armature having an outside diameter of at least 0.625 the outside diameter of the stator is placed in the stator. The field coils may be formed so that they extend beyond pole tips of the pole pieces.

Abstract: A system for generating processor hardware supports a language for significant extensions to the processor instruction set, where the designer specifies only the semantics of the new instructions and the system generates other logic. The extension language provides for the addition of processor state, including register files, and instructions that operate on that state. The language also provides for new data types to be added to the compiler to represent the state added. It allows separate specification of reference semantics and instruction implementation, and uses this to automate design verification. In addition, the system generates formatted instruction set documentation from the language specification.

Abstract: In a method of detecting input for a portable electronic device, when a virtual keyboard is displayed on a display of a touch panel, an accelerometer detects orientation of the portable electronic device to adjust a contact area of each key of the virtual keyboard. The adjusted display of each key provides a suitable contact area on the virtual keyboard according to the detected orientation of the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A metal-and-resin composite includes a metal substrate and resin composition formed on the metal substrate. The metal substrate has a surface with nano-pores having an average diameter of about 30-55 nm. The resin composition is integrally bonded to the surface of the metal substrate having the nano-pores and filling the nano-pores. The resin composition contains crystalline thermoplastic synthetic resins.

Abstract: An automated processor design tool uses a description of customized processor instruction set extensions in a standardized language to develop a configurable definition of a target instruction set, a Hardware Description Language description of circuitry necessary to implement the instruction set, and development tools such as a compiler, assembler, debugger and simulator which can be used to develop applications for the processor and to verify it. Implementation of the processor circuitry can be optimized for various criteria such as area, power consumption, speed and the like. Once a processor configuration is developed, it can be tested and inputs to the system modified to iteratively optimize the processor implementation. By providing a constrained domain of extensions and optimizations, the process can be automated to a high degree, thereby facilitating fast and reliable development.

Abstract: A power tool that includes a housing, a motor, a planetary transmission, a first bearing and a second bearing. The motor is disposed in the housing and includes an output shaft. The planetary transmission has a sun gear, a plurality of first planet gears, a first ring gear and a carrier. The sun gear is driven by the output shaft. The first planet gears are driven by the sun gear and have teeth that are meshingly engaged to teeth of the first ring gear. The carrier includes a rear carrier plate and a front carrier plate between which the first and second planet gears are received. The rear carrier plate includes a first bearing aperture. The first bearing is received in the first bearing aperture and is configured to support the output shaft. The second bearing is received onto the rear carrier plate to support the carrier relative to the housing.

Abstract: A power tool may include an electronically commutated motor such as, for example, a brushless DC permanent magnet motor with a rotor having internally mounted magnets and/or cavities filled with air or other non-magnetic materials. A control system may be used to control the motor in a manner that implements field weakening when the speed of the motor increases beyond its rated motor speed, or when the torque demands on the motor continue to increase after the maximum power output of the motor is reached. The field weakening may offset the growing back EMF and may enable a constant power and constant efficiency to be achieved by the motor over a wide speed range, rather than at just a single predetermined operating speed. Pulse width modulation control of the motor may be used up until the motor reaches its maximum power output.
