Abstract: A supporting framework for a swivel chair or table includes a gas spring and a cylinder put on the gas spring. The cylinder includes two opposite holes and a plurality of equally circumferentially spaced longitudinal apertures. Spring loaded posts and lock bars are located in the apertures. A fastening ring rests upon the cylinder and includes a plurality of equally circumferentially spaced openings having a diameter less than a diameter of the posts but slightly larger than a diameter of the lock bars. A hollow cap with the gas spring projected therethrough includes two opposite channels of an inverted L-shape. Two, lock pins are inserted through the channels and the holes for fastening the cap and the cylinder together. Moving the lock pins from upper second positions to lower first positions in the channels will enable the gas spring to rotate or vice versa will lock the same.

Abstract: A portable electronic device with a fastening mechanism includes a main body and a subsidiary casing. The main body comprises a bottom wall and a side wall extending from one edge of the bottom wall. A receptacle is defined in the sidewall thereof. The subsidiary casing is configured for receiving a battery therein. The subsidiary casing comprises a latch formed thereon. The latch is engaged into the receptacle to prevent the subsidiary casing from moving along a first direction, wherein the latch is inserted into the receptacle along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction when the subsidiary casing is assembled to the main body.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating halo regions are provided. In one aspect, a method is provided of fabricating a first halo region and a second halo region for a circuit device of a first conductivity type and having a gate structure with first and second sidewalls. The first halo region of a second conductivity type is formed by implanting the substrate with impurities in a first direction toward the first sidewall of the gate structure. The second halo region of the second conductivity type is formed by implanting the substrate with impurities in a second direction toward the second sidewall of the gate structure. The first and second halo regions are formed without implanting impurities in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first and second directions.

Abstract: A storage medium player includes a base, a printed circuit board mounted in the base, and an indicator device. The base includes an upper body and a lower body. One of the upper body and the lower body includes a first engaging portion and defines a hole. The indicator device includes an indicating lamp and a shield arranged between the indicating lamp and the hole. The indicating lamp is electrically connected with the printed circuit board so as to be supplied with an operating voltage by the printed circuit board. The shield is mounted in the base with one end thereof being engaged with the first engaging portion. The shield includes a main body and a protruding portion extending away from the main body. At least a part of the protruding portion is received in the hole.

Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a hinge shaft. The hinge shaft includes a first shaft end and an opposite second shaft end. A blind hole axially extends a predetermined length from the first shaft end toward the second shaft end for partially accommodating and guiding a flexible cable, the portion of the flexible cable received in the blind hole is substantially configured to be spiral. A releasing slot for the flexible cable to pass therethrough axially extends in a wall portion of the hinge shaft and communicates with the blind hole.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a main body defining a locking hole therein and an auxiliary body having a latch therein. The latch includes a button, a slider, and a spring member positioned between the button and the auxiliary body. The slider includes a locking portion retractably inserted into the locking hole. The slider is slidably engaged with the button in a manner that when the button is pressed along a first direction, the slider is pushed by the button to slide along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby retracting the locking portion from the locking hole. The spring member is for elastically loading the button in a third direction opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a first body, a second body, a pivot set for hinging the second body to the first body and a torsion spring. The pivot set includes a pivot seat and a pivot extending from the pivot seat. The pivot seat is detachably secured to the first body. The pivot rotatably extends into the second body. The torsion spring includes a fixing end thereof fixed to the second body, and a sliding end thereof slidably pressing against the first body.

Abstract: A storage medium player includes a base defining a medium-receiving area, a driving device mounted in the base for driving a medium, a cover pivotably attached to the base adjacent one side of the medium-receiving area, and a safety device mounted in the base adjacent an opposite side of the medium-receiving area. The safety device is capable of being switched between an activated state and a deactivated state upon pivoting the cover with respect to the base. When the cover is closed, the safety device is in the activated state and the driving device is enabled. When the cover is open, the safety device is in the deactivated state and the driving device is disabled.

Abstract: A disc player includes a base, a lid rotatably pivoted to the base, and an opening and closing mechanism secured to the base. The opening and closing mechanism includes a compression spring providing a restoration force and a pushing button for applying a pushing force thereon. The pushing button includes a locking portion for releasing the lid from the base and for clasping the lid to the base, and at least one wedged potion for interfering in one end of the compression spring to fix the compression spring.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a main body and a cover. The main body includes a back edge and defines a limiting slot at the back edge thereof. The main body forms a stop portion at the limiting slot. The cover is pivotally connected to the back edge of the main body. The cover includes a limiting member extending into the limiting slot. The limiting member including a peripheral surface is configured for cooperating with the stop portion to prevent the cover from over rotating.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a body-tied SOI transistor with reduced body resistance is presented. During the wafer fabrication process, a semiconductor wafer is placed in an ion implantation device and oriented to a first position relative to a beam path of the ion implantation device in order to obtain a substantially non-orthogonal twist orientation between the beam path and the transistor gate edge. Following this orientation of the first position, an ion species is implanted into a first implantation region. The wafer is then rotated to a second substantially non-orthogonal twist orientation, where another ion implantation is conducted. This process continues in the same manner, such that further substantially non-orthogonal twists and ion implantations are conducted, until the desired number of implantation areas is created. Halo or pocket implants are an example of the type of implantations to which the technique may be applied.

Abstract: Provided is a supporting framework for a swivel chair or table. The framework comprises a gas spring; a cylinder put on the gas spring and comprising two opposite holes and a plurality of equally circumferentially spaced longitudinal apertures; springs loaded posts and lock bars in the apertures; a fastening ring rested upon the cylinder and comprising a plurality of equally circumferentially spaced openings having a diameter less than a diameter of the post but slightly larger than a diameter of the lock bar; and a hollow cap with the gas spring projected therethrough, the cap comprising two opposite channels of inverted-L shape, and two lock pins inserted through the channels and the holes for fastening the cap and the cylinder together. Moving the lock pins either from upper second positions to lower first positions in the channels will enable the gas spring to rotate or vice versa will lock same.
