  • Publication number: 20130220841
    Abstract: A water-resistant casing for a portable electronic device is provided. The water-resistant casing may include a front cover. The front cover may include a water-resistant film enabling a user operation of the portable electronic device through the water-resistant film, and an impact-absorbing seal to provide water resistance and impact absorption. The water-resistant casing may also include a back cover coupled to the front cover. The back cover may include a material that is at least water-resistant or impact-absorbing. The water-resistant casing may further include a sealing structure to provide a water-resistant seal, and a latching mechanism for enclosing the water-resistant casing. The water-resistant casing may further include at least one mounting point and at least one impact-absorbing structure for providing additional impact absorption.

  • Patent number: 8176226
    Abstract: A signal switch for sharing a video monitor, a plurality of console devices compliant with an industry standard and one or more than one peripheral device in any of a plurality of computer systems, is provided. A KVM switch allows all the computers connected to the switch to share any USB peripheral devices, and which can switch the KVM channels and peripheral channels to a common computer or to different computers either asynchronously or synchronously without interruption of data flow to that peripheral when the switch is changed. In another embodiment the KVM switch allows a keyboard and a mouse of a user console to separately control two different computers. In another embodiment, the KVM switch is connected to the computers via computer connection modules and connected to a user console and peripheral devices via a console connection module.
