Abstract: A computing device includes a chassis, a motherboard, a mounting plate, and a disk drive module attached to the mounting plate. The chassis includes a base panel and a pair of side panels connected to opposite sides of the base panel. The motherboard is mounted on the base panel. The mounting plate is secured to the pair of side panels and is inclined at an angle relative to the base panel. The disk drive module is inclined at the same angle as the mounting plate. At least one expansion card is attached substantially perpendicular to the motherboard. The disk drive module includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end is located higher than a top edge of the at least one expansion card. The second end is located lower than the at least one the expansion card.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for a fan, configured for securing the fan, includes a plate. The plate further includes a main body. The main body defines a ventilation area corresponding to the fan. At least two latching pieces and at least one protrusion extend from main body. The at least two latching pieces and the at least one protrusion are around the ventilation are. The at least two latching pieces is engaged with two opposite sides of the mounting board for preventing the fan from moving a first direction, a second direction opposite, and a third direction substantially perpendicular to the main body; and the at least one protrusion abuts the mounting board to prevent the fan from rotating in a fourth direction which the mounting board is disengaged from the at least two latching pieces.

Abstract: A process for treating the surface of magnesium alloy comprises providing a substrate made of magnesium alloy. A chromium layer is then formed on the substrate by magnetron sputtering and a titanium layer is formed on the substrate by magnetron sputtering. A protective layer is formed on the titanium layer. The protective layer is an epoxy resin coating.

Abstract: A computer enclosure includes a chassis, a cover detachably mounted to the chassis, and a rotary member pivotably attached to the cover. The chassis includes at least one assembly slot defined therein. A sliding member is slidably installed in the cover. At least one hook is formed on the sliding member and engaged in the assembly slot of the chassis. The rotary member is capable of being rotated to drive the sliding member to slide in the cover, thereby disengaging the hook from the assembly slot.

Abstract: A device includes a chassis. The chassis includes a bottom, and a top, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall. The bottom connects with the first and second sidewall flanges. The second sidewall connects with the top and the bottom. The top flange is spaced from the second sidewall flanges. A bottom flange is located on the bottom. A top flange is located on the top. A first sidewall flange is located on the first sidewall. A second sidewall flange is located on the second sidewall. A plurality of first locking holes and a plurality of locking openings is defined in the first sidewall flange. A plurality of second locking holes and a plurality of recess portions is located in the second sidewall flange. At least one of each first locking hole, each second locking hole, each recess portion is configured to secure a bezel.

Abstract: A device mounting system is provided. The system includes a housing having a first surface having a first member disposed thereupon. The system also includes a mounting bracket adapted to receive the housing; the mounting bracket including a first rigid surface having a first feature adapted to engage the first member. A latch can be disposed at least partially within the first feature. The latch can be adapted to permit the insertion and attachment of the first member to the first feature when disposed in a first position and to permit the detachment and removal of the first member from the first feature when disposed in a second position.

Abstract: A computer enclosure includes a chassis, a cover detachably mounted to the chassis, and a rotary member pivotably attached to the cover. The chassis includes at least one assembly slot defined therein. A sliding member is slidably installed in the cover. At least one hook is formed on the sliding member and engaged in the assembly slot of the chassis. The rotary member is capable of being rotated to drive the sliding member to slide in the cover, thereby disengaging the hook from the assembly slot.

Abstract: A monitor stand includes an upper support member (100) for supporting a monitor thereon, and a lower support member (200). The lower support member comprises a fixed piece (270), a slidable piece (210) slidably attached to the fixed piece for supporting a notebook computer connected to the monitor, the slidable piece being slidable in a first direction, a clutch (243) movable between the fixed piece and the slidable piece in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first direction to selectively engage the fixed piece so that the slidable piece is tightly held in place relative to the fixed piece, and a button (250) enabling the clutch to be disengaged from the fixed piece so that the slidable piece is free to slide relative to the fixed piece.

Abstract: An electrical connector adapted for mounting on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals loaded in the insulative housing and a board lock device assembled in the insulative housing. The insulative housing comprises a base portion having a PCB mounting face and a mating portion extending from the base portion. The base portion defines a boardlock-receiving cavity and is formed with a block adjacent to the cavity. The board lock device comprises a retaining plate retained in the cavity and substantially parallel to the PCB mounting face of the base portion and a lock plate perpendicularly extending from the retaining plate beyond the PCB mounting face of the base portion for locking with the PCB. The retaining plate is supported by the block for preventing the board lock device from moving along a direction perpendicular to the PCB mounting face of the base portion.
