Patent number: 7963794Abstract: A detecting device is used to detect the connection of an electronic device. The detecting device includes a circuit board and a connector module. The circuit board includes a power terminal and a signal processing unit. The connector module includes a body and a detecting member. The body has a connecting port and a connecting sidewall. The detecting member is disposed on the connecting sidewall and electrically connected to the power terminal and the signal processing unit, and it has a potential. When a plug of the electronic device is connected to the connecting port, the plug contacts the detecting member to change the potential. The change of the potential is detected by the signal processing unit such that the connection between the electronic device and the connector module is confirmed.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.Inventors: Chung-Ta Chin, Yuan-Te Chang, Ching-Chung Chen, Ren-Shiang Tsai, Chia Ching Lin

Patent number: 7872862Abstract: A fixing device for detachably fastening an electronic element inside thereof is described. Two fastening modules are respectively disposed on the two opposite inner walls of a housing. A positioning disk is rotatably connected with the positioning frame and has a concave section with a pair of inner side surfaces. The positioning disk is disposed between the first pair of positioning surfaces while the positioning disk is disposed between the second pair of positioning surfaces. When the positioning disk is at a first position, the pair of inner side surfaces is aligned with the first pair of positioning surfaces to allow the electronic element to be inserted between. When the positioning disk is rotated from the first position to the second position, the pair of inner side surfaces is aligned with the second pair of positioning surfaces, and the first and second connection members engage each other to fasten the electronic element.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2009Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Asustek Computer Inc.Inventor: Yuan-Te Chang

Publication number: 20100102687Abstract: The invention discloses a side plate of an electronic-device casing including a side plate assembled to a side portion of a casing. The side plate includes a plate member, a first engagement member, a second engagement member, a plurality of linkages, and an actuating member. The first and the second engagement members are moveably disposed on the plate member respectively along a first direction and a second direction. The linkages are pivotally engaged with the plate member and are moveably engaged with the first and the second engagement members. The actuating member is moveably engaged with the linkages. When the actuating member rotates, the actuating member drives the linkages to rotate so that the first and the second engagement members are driven to move relatively to the plate member respectively along the first direction and the second direction to be engaged with the side portion or disengaged from the side portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2009Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.Inventor: Yuan Te Chang

Patent number: 6847522Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing that is formed with two fixed positioning members, and a back-supporting plate that is movable forcibly on an upright housing portion of the housing to move two tongues of two movable members along two annular guide slots in the positioning members. Each of the annular guide slots has a plurality of positioning slot portions. Each of the tongues of the movable members is limited to move within a corresponding one of the annular guide slots along a single direction, and is biased into a selected one of the positioning slot portions of the corresponding one of the annular guide slots. As such, the inclination angle of an upright housing portion of the housing relative to a horizontal support surface can be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2004Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: First International Computer, Inc.Inventors: Cheng-Yuan Fan, Yuan-Te Chang
