  • Patent number: 8029077
    Abstract: A computer housing includes a frame and a face panel. The frame includes a plurality of pivotally interconnected frame panels such that the frame is convertible between an assembled state and a flattened state. In the assembled state, the frame panels form a rectangular frame for mounting electronic components, such as a motherboard, a disk drive and a hard disk. In the flattened state, the frame can be flattened out so that the frame panels lie in substantially the same plane, thereby reducing the space occupied by the frame.

  • Patent number: 8021017
    Abstract: The LED lamp contains one or more base plates, each having a plurality of through terminal holes connected by a patterned conduction layer. The base plates are separated by support tubes and a number of LEDs have their terminals threaded through the terminal holes and soldered to the conduction layers of the base plates. When the LEDs are turned on, the produced heat is dissipated first by the lengthy terminals of the LEDs between the base plates, and then by the extended conduction layers along the base plates. A large number of LEDs therefore could be packed into an even smaller space and the LED lamp has an even lower production cost.
