Abstract: A USB plug comprises a shell, a stationary port, upper and lower sliders and a levering device. The shell has an opening formed at a front end thereof and two pairs of terminal pins connected at a rear end thereof. The stationary port extending horizontally is fixed at a middle of the rear end of the shell, each side of the port being provided with two pairs of contacts in electrically connection with the terminal pins. The upper and lower sliders respectively have first sides thereof facing towards each other and second sides thereof being slidable along upper and lower sidewalls of the shell, each one slider having two metal contacts provided on the first side thereof corresponding to the contacts of the stationary port. The levering device is operatively provided between the upper and lower sliders in order to alternately shift the upper and lower sliders by means of an external intrusion force exerted on one of the upper and lower sliders.

Abstract: A system for data communication purposes in electronic devices comprises a data bus comprising first, second, third and forth signal paths. A first control means generates a first state of a control signal in the presence of a clock signal in a first mode of operation. The first operation mode may be the normal operation mode of a consumer electronic apparatus. A second control means generates a second state of the control signal in the presence of a clock signal in a second mode of operation. The second operation mode may be the stand-by mode of the consumer electronic apparatus. The system can be easily integrated into existing systems utilizing e.g. a VFD protocol.

Abstract: A heat sink including a base defining a base plane extending in a longitudinal and a transversal direction is disclosed. The base has fins extending along the longitudinal direction and a way from the base plane. The base and the fins are arranged to allow airflow along the longitudinal direction. A front end of the fins facing the airflow has a surface shape enabling a substantially laminar airflow. The substantially laminar airflow is efficient to provide a good heat transfer between the heat sink and the air. The substantially laminar airflow is also relatively silent compared to a turbulent airflow.
