Abstract: An indicating device includes an enclosure and an indicating lamp. The enclosure includes a base. The base defines a receiving space and an opening communicating with the receiving space. When the indicating lamp is received in the receiving space, the base partially shields the indicating lamp allowing light from the indicating lamp to be transmitted only through the opening.

Abstract: An indicating device includes a light source and an enclosure which is integrated with the light source. The enclosure defines a receiving space for the light source. An opening is defined in the enclosure and communicates with the receiving space. When the light source is received in the receiving space, the enclosure provides a partial shield allowing light from the source to be transmitted and escape only through the opening.

Abstract: An indicator securing apparatus includes a bracket and a circuit board. The circuit board is configured to be mounted on a motherboard. The bracket includes a mounting portion, an extending portion extending from the mounting portion, and an engaging portion extending from the extending portion. The mounting portion receives and holds an indicator. The engaging portion is configured to resiliently engage with the circuit board, thereby enabling the indicator to be secured to the motherboard.

Abstract: A socket device includes a socket mounted on a circuit board and an engaging member mounted to the socket. The socket defines a sliding groove. The engaging member includes a sliding piece engaged in the sliding groove. The sliding piece can slide along the slot to detach the engaging member from the socket. A chip may be mounted below the engaging member which member may be moved away from the socket to enable user to check the chip.

Abstract: A connector includes a main portion. The main portion includes a connecting portion and a supporting portion. The supporting portion is substantially perpendicular to the connecting portion. The supporting portion includes a body. The body enhances mechanical rigidity of the supporting portion. The connector further includes a fixing member. The fixing member is mounted in the main portion. The fixing member is used to fix the main portion to a circuit board. A connector assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a mounting plate and a first connector. The first connector includes a first interface, a first connecting part, and a second connecting part. The second connecting part is substantially perpendicular to the first connecting part. The second connecting part is engaged with the mounting plate. The connector assembly further includes a second connector. The second connector is located between the first connecting part and the mounting plate. The second connector is engaged with the mounting plate. The second connector includes a second interface which has same plugging direction to the first interface.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a power supply and an ignition. A computer includes a mother board with a converting circuit for converting electricity. A switching circuit controls the transfer of electricity to the converting circuit from the power supply. A detecting circuit detects the state of the ignition, sends an ON signal and instructs the switching circuit to conduct the transfer if the ignition is turned on, and sends an OFF signal and instructs the switching circuit to interrupt the transfer if the ignition is turned off. A central processing unit receives electricity from the converting circuit and turns on or off the computer. A south bridge controller receives electricity from the converting circuit and instructs the central process to turn on the computer on receiving the ON signal or turn off the computer on receiving the OFF signal.

Abstract: A water-cooling heat dissipation system for dissipating a heat-generating device includes a water pump, a water-cooling apparatus, and a cooling apparatus. The water pump is configured for transferring coolant via a first pipe. The water-cooling apparatus is capable of mounted on the heat-generating device and receiving the coolant from the water pump via the first pipe to cool the heat-generating device, and then outputting heat absorbed coolant heated the heat from the heat-generating device. The cooling apparatus is configured for receiving the heat absorbed coolant from the water-cooling apparatus via a second pipe, and removing heat from the heat absorbed coolant, and then transferring the coolant to the water pump via a third pipe.

Abstract: A method for controlling a car computer is provided. An operation mode is received, and the operation mode selectively selects a user input interface from a plurality of user input interfaces. Next, in response to the selection of the operation mode, an operating signal of the user input interface is defined as a corresponding first control signal. Then, an input of changing the operating signal definition is determined, and if an input signal of the user input interface is changing the operating signal definition, the control signal defined by the operating signal of the user input interface defines the operating signal to a corresponding second control signal, in response to the changing of the operating signal definition. Finally, the car computer is operated according to the selected operation mode and the set operating signal definition.
