Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a touch module and a switch module. The housing has an opening and a supporting plate, wherein one side of the supporting plate is connected to the housing. The touch module is disposed over the supporting plate and one side connected to the housing. The switch module is disposed under the supporting plate and corresponding to a side of the touch module, wherein the side of the touch module is bent to turn on the switch module when a force is applied to the side of the touch module.

Abstract: An electronic device having a touching function, including a touching region, a housing, a touch module, and a switch module is provided. The touching region is performing the touching function. The touching region is located over the housing. The touch module is disposed in the housing in correspondence with the touching region. The switch module includes at least one switch and is disposed under the touch module. The touch module is bent under force to turn on the switch when the touching region is touched.

Abstract: A cylinder structure including a plastic cylinder, a metal cylinder, and a metal layer is provided. The plastic cylinder has a first flat on the top thereof. The metal cylinder has a second flat on the top thereof, and is partly inserted into the top of the plastic cylinder, wherein the second flat is higher than the first flat relative to the top of the plastic cylinder. The metal layer covers the exposed surface of the plastic cylinder and the exposed surface of the metal cylinder.

Abstract: A rotatable camera has a motor, a lens unit comprising a photographing head and a driving rod coupled to the photographing head, a spherical bearing support for pivotally mounting the photographing head, and a rotatable disc driven in rotation motion by the motor to drive the driving rod of the lens unit move along a spiral shaped locus, and, when the motor is driven, the photographing head is at the same time driven by the driving rod to rotate and change its angular position, so that the rotatable camera employs only a single motor to drive the photographing head of the lens unit to rapidly move to the direction to be monitored, particularly, due to no time delay any corners shall be monitored by the rotatable camera.

Abstract: A waterproof thermal management module for a portable electronic device that including a housing and a heat source is disclosed. The waterproof thermal management module includes a separated chamber, a heat absorber, a radiator, a heat pipe and a fan. The separated chamber is set inside the housing and has a first air channel and a second air channel, wherein the first and second air channels communicate with the outside of the housing. The heat absorber is set inside the housing for contacting the heat source. The radiator is set inside the separated chamber. The heat pipe extends from inside the housing through the wall of the separated chamber into the separated chamber and connects the heat absorber and the radiator. The cooling fan is set in the separated chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed is a codec (coder/decoder) system with shadow buffers and method of performing a Power Down/Suspend mode operation on this codec system, which allows all the codecs in the codec system to know the operating status of each other so that system crash can be prevented during a power down/suspend operation. The codec system includes two or more codecs and associated codec controllers, with each codec controller including a status data buffer and a shadow buffer; and each codec controller utilizes the status data buffer therein for registering the operating status thereof and meanwhile utilizes the shadow buffer therein for storing a copy of the operating status data stored in the status data buffer of the other codec controller. The provision of the shallow buffers allows all the codecs in the codec system to be capable of knowing the operating status of each other. This feature can help prevent system crash during power down/suspend operation.

Abstract: A computer chipset having reduced peripheral pins for accessing a conventional ROM in a computer system is disclosed. There is a switching circuit within the chipset. When the computer is turned on, a booting control circuit activates a booting enabling signal, so that booting programs can be accessed from the ROM through the switching circuit and are executed in a main processor. Subsequently, contents stored in the ROM are moved to a main memory and the booting enabling signal is inactivated by the booting control circuit to allow a peripheral control circuit to communicate with peripheral devices. In this way, chipset having a low pin count (LPC) interface circuit can share the peripheral pins of the chipset to access the conventional ROMs, so that the production costs can be reduced.
