  • Patent number: 10276325
    Abstract: A keyboard device includes a light guide plate, a base plate, plural keys and plural surround-type soundproof elements. The base plate is located over the light guide plate. The plural keys are connected with the base plate. The membrane circuit board is arranged between the plural keys and the base plate. The plural surround-type soundproof elements are aligned with the corresponding keys. Each surround-type soundproof element is disposed on the light guide plate, the base plate or the membrane circuit board. While one of the plural keycaps is depressed and moved downwardly relative to the base plate, a sealed space is defined by the corresponding keycap and the corresponding surround-type soundproof element.

  • Patent number: 10020135
    Abstract: A scissors-type connecting member includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a rotating shaft. The second frame includes a pivot hole, an entrance and a stopper. After the rotating shaft is introduced into the pivot hole through the entrance, the first frame is pivotally coupled to the second frame. The stopper is located near the entrance or arranged between the entrance and the pivot hole. A position of the rotating shaft is limited between the stopper and the pivotal hole by the stopper. Consequently, the scissors-type connecting member is assembled easily, and the stability of connecting a first frame and a second frame of the scissors-type connecting member is enhanced. Moreover, the present invention also provides a key structure with the scissors-type connecting member.

  • Publication number: 20180074558
    Abstract: A supporting mechanism for an electronic device includes a base, a fixing plate, a supporting frame and a rotating module. The fixing plate can receive the electronic device. The fixing plate is placed on the base and rotatable relative to the base. The supporting frame is placed on the fixing plate and rotatable relative to the fixing plate. The rotating module is connected with the base, the fixing plate and the supporting frame. After the fixing plate is rotated relative to the base and the supporting frame is moved with the fixing plate by a predetermined angle, the supporting frame is rotated relative to the fixing plate but not synchronously rotated with the fixing plate according to the operation of the rotating module. By simply uplifting or covering the fixing plate and not operating the supporting frame, the electronic device can be controlled as required.

  • Publication number: 20060209032
    Abstract: A handheld electronic device including a main body, a display unit and a press-type keyboard is provided. The main body has a data process module, and the display unit is mounted on the main body. The press-type keyboard having a center and a plurality of keys is mounted on the main body and adjacent to the display unit. Moreover, the closer each key is to the center, the higher the apex of the key is protruding above the main body. Because the height of the keys varies with the distance between the keys and the center, it is more convenient for users when keying in data.

  • Publication number: 20050190686
    Abstract: A recordable optical disc and a method for manufacturing a mother disc thereof are proposed. The recordable optical disc comprises a substrate with a spiral groove wobbled in a fixed period. The recordable optical disc is characterized in that the spiral groove has a plurality of transient side-wobble regions not in the wobble period and used as recording regions of address data. In the method of manufacturing a mother disc of the optical disc, a spiral groove is first formed on a mother disc substrate by using an etching source wobbling in a fixed period. A transient side-wobble not in the wobble period is inserted between several wobble periods to form a spiral groove having transient side-wobble regions on the mother disc substrate. The stability of manufacture of the mother disc can thus be greatly enhanced, and the PI error rate of the optical disc can be lowered.

The heat-dissipating device includes a heat-dissipating member, a grounding member and a connecting member. The heat-dissipating member is adapted to be disposed on a heat-radiating side of the electronic component. The grounding member includes a grounding tail and a grounding body connected to the grounding tail. The grounding tail is adapted to pass through the circuit board to connect electrically with the grounding layer and to dispose the grounding body between the heat-dissipating member and the circuit board. The connecting member interconnects the heat-dissipating member and the grounding member, and is adapted to be secured on the circuit board. The connecting member cooperates with the grounding member to make electrical connection between the heat-dissipating member and the grounding layer of the circuit board.
