Abstract: A thin hinge includes a holding seat, an arc-shaped driven member and a torsional force generation assembly. The holding seat includes a base, a housing space and a linear slide track. The arc-shaped driven member is located in the housing space and includes an operational portion, a curved portion connected to the operational portion and a driving portion extended from the curved portion toward the operational portion to couple with the assembly portion. The torsional force generation assembly includes at least one driving arm connected to the arc-shaped driven member, a slide seat connected to the driving arm and located in the housing space corresponding to the linear slide track, a detent plate located at another side of the linear slide track facing the housing space and corresponding to the slide seat, and at least one torsional spring coupled with the slide seat and the detent plate.

Abstract: A thin pivotal apparatus includes a holding seat, an arc-shaped driven member and at least one torsional force generation member. The holding seat includes a base, a housing space and a first assembly portion and a second assembly portion that are located on the base corresponding to two opposite sides of the housing space. The arc-shaped driven member is located in the housing space and includes an operational portion, a curved portion connected to the operational portion and a driving portion extended from the curved portion toward the operational portion to couple with the first assembly portion to form a pivotal relationship. Each torsional force generation member includes a first connection portion located on the second assembly portion, a second connection portion connected to the junction of the driving portion and the curved portion, and a hydraulic portion connected to the first connection portion and the second connection portion.

Abstract: A display module holding frame and method of manufacturing same include the steps of: first, providing a support frame which includes an installation frame to hold a display module, two installation portions to hold two hinge structures, an installation space formed within the installation frame, a coupling space formed between the two installation portions and a wiring passage communicating with the installation space and the coupling space; next, threading a signal wire through the wiring passage; finally, forming a rubber protective layer on the surface of the support frame via an injection process. The rubber protective layer has a holding portion to fix the signal wire in the wiring passage. The display module holding frame thus formed provides a structure to securely hold the signal wire without moving freely.

Abstract: A display module support frame for electronic devices includes a first support section, a second support section and a bend section located between the first and second support sections. The bend section includes a coupling zone and a bend buffer zone. The display module support frame has an initial state in which the first and second support sections do not receive forces and the first and second coupling portions of the first and second support sections are positioned at two sides of the coupling zone, and a bend state in which either the first or second support section receives the forces to bend a bridge portion such that the first and second coupling portions are moved towards the coupling zone to couple with each other, and the compression buffer space is shrunk to form a holding space between the first and second support sections to hold a display module.

Abstract: A hinge structure for assembly of a display module is located on a base. The hinge structure includes a first holder and a second holder. The first holder includes an assembly portion and at least one pin coupled with the assembly portion. The second holder includes a hinge portion hinged on the pin and a connecting portion fastened to a host of a notebook computer. The display module is located in a first holding groove and a second holding groove of the assembly portion, thereby the hinge structure and display module are fastened together to reduce thickness caused by front fastening to achieve the object of thin and light panel design. By direct coupling of the display module and the assembly portion the extra production process of fastening the hinge to the display module can be dispensed with to simplify production.

Abstract: The present invention provides cooling sheets for application to an extremity of a mammal, and methods for making and using such cooling sheets.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided using a stored benefit to facilitate a transaction in which a buyer offers to purchase a product. According to one embodiment, offer information, including an offer amount, is received from a buyer. The offer information may be received, for example, via a Web page. An indication that the buyer is willing to redeem one or more stored benefits is also received. A stored benefit may be, for example, a token associated with the buyer when he or she applies for a service. A value associated with the stored benefit is determined, and the offer information is evaluated based on the offer amount, the value associated with the stored benefit, and an amount associated with a product. According to one embodiment, the offer information includes a product category, and the product provided to the buyer is determined based on the product category.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to process a transaction in which a customer purchases an item. A third party subsidy offer, such as an offer to apply a third party subsidy amount to the transaction in exchange for the customer performing a task, is provided to the customer. The third party subsidy offer may be provided to the customer in response to the customer indicating an interest in purchasing the item. An evaluation may be performed to determine if a merchant benefit, such as a merchant subsidy amount, will also be applied to the transaction. A further evaluation may be performed to determine whether an additional task, not corresponding to a benefit, will also be associated with the third party subsidy offer and also output to the customer in conjunction with, or as part of, the third party subsidy offer.
