  • Publication number: 20130335915
    Abstract: A docking station for an electronic device includes a housing, an elevating mechanism, and a connector. The elevating mechanism is received in the housing. The connector is secured to the elevating mechanism and is driven by the elevating mechanism to move between a working position when it is protruding out of the housing, for communicating with the electronic device, and an unworking position when it is retracting into the housing. An elevating mechanism used in a docking station is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8376850
    Abstract: A game controller includes a housing, a number of press sensors and touch sensors, and a main circuit embedded in the housing powered by a battery. The main circuit includes a collecting module, a comparing module and a controlling module. The press sensors detects pressure from the housing and outputting a number of pressure signals. The touch sensors detects a plurality of touch signals. The collecting module collects and combines the pressure signals and the touch signals into a first positioning signal and a second positioning signal correspondingly. The comparing module predetermines a number of preset signal values and a number of preset pitches correspondingly and compares the first and second positioning signals with the preset signal values. The controlling module triggers one of the preset pitches when the first positioning signal and the second positioning signal are equal to the preset signal values.

  • Patent number: 8067843
    Abstract: A wireless mouse includes a magnetic ball, a power generating device and a power storage device. The power generating device includes an inductive coil, being dome-shaped and partially covering the magnetic ball and configured for generating inductive voltage following the movement of the magnetic ball, and a converting unit, being configured for converting the inductive voltage to a stabilized DC voltage. The power storage device electrically is coupled to the power generating device and configured for being charged by the converting unit using the stabilized DC voltage and provide power for the wireless mouse.
