    Abstract: A computer apparatus includes a base and a display device. The base includes a first casing and a ferromagnetic unit fastened to the first casing. The display device includes a second casing having a connecting side portion and a magnetic unit. In a first use state, the connecting side portion of the second casing is adjacent to the first casing of the base, and an angle formed therebetween is adjustable. The magnetic unit is fastened to the connecting side portion of the second casing, and magnetically attracts ferromagnetic unit of the base, thereby permitting sliding of the display device relative to the base without separating therefrom.

    Abstract: An in-vehicle display apparatus includes a display panel including a rectangular display screen; a pair of semicircular decorative rings (frames) obtained by dividing an annular member into two parts along a line extending in a lateral direction of the display screen; and a driving mechanism that drives the decorative rings to reciprocate toward and away from each other in a longitudinal direction of the display screen. The decorative rings are rotatable around axes extending in the lateral direction of the display screen. The driving mechanism moves the decorative rings while the decorative rings are in front of the display panel and in parallel positions in relation to the display screen. The decorative rings are rotated on sides of the display panel in a longitudinal direction of the display panel and stored in storage spaces.

  • Publication number: 20140063720
    Abstract: A portable electrical device includes a tablet computer, a base panel, two supporting arms and two connecting members. Two ends of each supporting arm are pivotally disposed at one lateral side of the tablet computer and one lateral side of the base panel. The base panel has two guiding grooves oppositely arranged on one surface thereof. One end of the connecting member is pivoted with the lateral side of the tablet computer, and the other end of the connecting member is limited and slidably disposed in one of the guiding grooves. When the other ends of both the connecting members are at one distal end of the guiding groove, the tablet computer is stacked on the base panel, and a touch-controlled display of the tablet computer can alternatively face towards or opposite to the base panel.

  • Publication number: 20140063721
    Abstract: A chassis for a network storage system contains a first thermal chamber that houses conventional electronic components and a second thermal chamber that houses non-volatile solid state memory such as flash memory. A cooling system keeps the electronics in first thermal chamber below their maximum junction temperature. Meanwhile, a temperature regulating system maintains the solid state memory in the second thermal chamber within a range of a preferred operating temperature selected to extend the lifetime and/or improve the reliability of the solid state memory. Thus, the chassis provides dual zone temperature control to improve performance of the network storage system.

  • Publication number: 20140063722
    Abstract: A system for mounting a flash blade in a storage system includes a motherboard with a series of card guide cutouts for aligning flash blades. A flash blade can be aligned perpendicular to the motherboard and aligned parallel to adjacent flash blades by inserting the flash blade into one of the card guide cutouts and connecting the flash blade to a connector at one end of the cutout. This beneficially aligns the flash blade while making efficient use of the available vertical space within a chassis. The flash blade can also extend through the cutout to the other side of the motherboard. The efficient use of vertical space enables an increase in the number of solid state memory can be added to the flash blade relative to conventional designs, thereby improving capacity.

    Abstract: A solid state disk includes a circuit board and a casing. The casing comprises a first cover and a second cover. The circuit board is provided in the first cover. Each side of the first cover is provided with a plurality of first combining portions. Each side of the second cover is provided with a plurality of second combining portions at positions corresponding to those of the first combining portions respectively. The second combining portions are buckled to the first combining portions respectively. Each first combining portion has an extension section extending from the first cover. The extension section of the first combining portion extends to be buckled to the second combining portion. Thus, the first cover and the second cover cannot be detached easily. When the casing is detached, the extension section will get broken, thereby preventing undesired detachment.

  • Publication number: 20140063727
    Abstract: Mounted between bottom and top surfaces of a case are: second buffer materials and first buffer materials brought in surface contact with a bottom surface of a hard disk drive (HDD) via an insulating member, and upper buffer materials brought in surface contact with the opposite side of the HDD via the insulating member. When impact F2 is applied to the HDD, the second buffer materials contract from a thickness of T0 to T2, and the first buffer materials buckle. Buckling parts of the first buffer materials buckle when the second buffer materials contract to thickness T2, and can achieve impact-lessening independently from the second buffer materials. The second buffer materials contract singly from T0 to equal T1 to or more than T2, whereas the first buffer materials and second buffer materials both act at thickness T2 or beyond. Therefore, impact-lessening can be achieved in a broad range.

    Abstract: Buffer materials 7 and a lower principal surface 6a of a hard disk case 6, and the buffer materials 7 and a hard disk drive 5, are adhesively fixed to each other by strong pressure-sensitive adhesive forces. Pressure-sensitive adhesive materials 8 are provided between the hard disk drive 5 and an upper principal surface 6b of the hard disk case 6. The pressure-sensitive adhesive force of each pressure-sensitive adhesive material 8 is weak to such a degree that the pressure-sensitive adhesive material 8 becomes detached by a contraction force of each buffer material 7. Thus, when external disturbance is applied to the hard disk drive 5, each pressure-sensitive adhesive material 8 becomes detached during contraction of each buffer material 7. The contraction of each buffer material 7 and the detachment of each pressure-sensitive adhesive material 8 allow improvement of the impact resistance of the hard disk drive 5.
