  • Publication number: 20230056353
    Abstract: A micro scanning mirror, including a fixed substrate, a lens, and multiple cantilevers, are provided. Each cantilever includes a piezoelectric material structure, multiple first drive electrodes, and multiple second drive electrodes. The piezoelectric material structure includes a connecting part, a folding part, and a fixed part. The connecting part connects the lens along a direction parallel to a central axis of the lens. The folding part has a bending region and multiple drive electrode regions. The fixed part is connected to the fixed substrate, and the folding part is connected to the connecting part and the fixed part. The first drive electrodes and the second drive electrodes are respectively located in the corresponding drive electrode regions in the folding part. The micro scanning mirror of the disclosure can drive a large-sized micro mirror to rotate at an appropriate rotation angle.

  • Patent number: 9863572
    Abstract: A lifting device configured to adjustably hold a display device at a certain height includes a support frame configured to support the display device, a shaft, a toothed gear, and a rack secured on the support frame. The shaft includes a wide portion secured on the display device and a narrow portion carrying the toothed gear, friction between the wide portion and the narrow portion being sufficient to hold the static weight of the display device. The toothed gear meshes with the rack. An upward or downward push on the display device drives the gear to move up and down along the rack to adjust the height of the display device.

  • Patent number: 9389653
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for selectively mounting a first storage device or a second storage device in a storage rack includes a supporting frame made of a resilient material. The supporting frame includes two side brackets. Each side bracket includes a sidewall, an upper wall, a lower wall opposite to the upper wall, and a deformable abutting member formed at the upper wall. The lower walls and the upper walls of the side brackets are capable of sandwiching two opposite portions of the first storage device. When the abutting members are bent below the corresponding upper walls, the lower walls and the abutting members of the side brackets are capable of sandwiching two opposite portions of the second storage device.

  • Patent number: 8873232
    Abstract: A supporting frame is used to mount a hard disk drive to a storage rack. The storage rack forms two protrusions protruding inwards from opposite sides of the storage rack. The supporting frame includes a handle and two side brackets resiliently connected to the handle. The side brackets are fixedly attached to opposite sides of the hard disk drive. The handle defines two locking holes. The protrusions of the storage rack are respectively engaged in the locking holes. When the handle is moved away from the hard disk drive, the handle is deformed to disengage the protrusions of the storage rack from the locking holes of the handle.
