Patent number: 10520995Abstract: A portable electronic module includes a casing having an air inlet, a heat generating member disposed in the casing, and a heat dissipating mechanism. The heat dissipating mechanism includes a fixing frame disposed at the casing corresponding to the air inlet, a driving handle, a driving device for driving the driving handle to move reciprocally, and a plurality of fans. The driving handle is disposed at a side of the fixing frame and has a plurality of holes arranged alternately. The fans are pivotally connected to the fixing frame in an alternate arrangement so as to swing relative to the fixing frame. Each fan has a protruding pillar extending toward the corresponding hole. Each protruding pillar is movably disposed through the corresponding hole, so that each fan could swing with reciprocation of the driving handle to guide airflow to pass through the air inlet to the heat generating member.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2013Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Kai-Yu Chu, Shao-Huai Tsai, Yu-Han Tsai, Yi-Hsieh Chiou

Patent number: 9465409Abstract: A docking station for installing a portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a display surface and at least one slot located at one side of the display surface. The docking station includes a supporting structure, at least one hook, and at least one first magnetic element. The supporting structure includes a body and a shell. The shell covers the body. The hook is disposed on the body and extrudes out of the supporting surface of the shell. The first magnetic element is disposed on the body and located in the shell. The hook is adapted to inlay in the slot and the first magnetic element is adapted to attract the portable electronic device, such that the portable electronic device is fixed on the supporting structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Ming-Yen Wu, Yan-Lin Kuo, Cheng-Hung Chen, Shao-Huai Tsai

Patent number: 9323293Abstract: An electronic device includes a first module including a first conductive component and a power control unit coupled to the first conductive component. The electronic device further includes a second module, a first hinge for pivoting the second module relative to the first module, and a first arm connected to the first hinge. The power control unit controls whether to execute a first power management status according to whether the first arm contacts the first conductive component as the second module pivots relative to the first module at a first angle by the first hinge.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Kai-Chen Lin, Chang-Ming Lee, Chung-Hsin Shen, Shao-Huai Tsai, Yao-Te Tsai, Chun-Chieh Huang

Patent number: 9244497Abstract: A hinge module is disposed between a first body and a second body. A first bracket is fixed on the first body to fix a shaft. A second bracket is fixed on the second body and passed through by the shaft, so that the second bracket can be rotated relative to the first bracket. An electromagnet is installed on the shaft. A magnetic element is installed on the shaft, and capable of being attracted or repelled with the electromagnet. At least one of the electromagnet and the magnetic element is capable of being moved along the shaft axially but substantially incapable of being rotated with the shaft as an axis. When the electromagnet is activated, at least one of the electromagnet and the magnetic element is axially moved to press the second bracket to increase a torque of a rotation of the second bracket relative to the first bracket.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventor: Shao-Huai Tsai

Patent number: 8943649Abstract: A hinge includes a pivot, two connection members pivotally connected by the pivot, a first magnetic part connected to one of the connection members, a second magnetic part moveably disposed relative to the first magnetic part and kinetically connected to the other one of the connection members, and an adjustment part kinetically connected to the other connection member and urging against the adjustment part. The magnetic moment of the second magnetic part is opposite to that of the first magnetic part. When the two connection members rotate relatively, the other connection member drives the adjustment part and the second magnetic part to rotate relative to the first magnetic part, so as to produce a repulsive moment resisting the rotation and varies with the rotation. A foldable electronic apparatus has the hinge.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2013Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Yuan-Tai Chen, Shao-Huai Tsai, Kai-Yu Chu, Yu-Han Tsai
