  • Patent number: 8593807
    Abstract: The rotation direction of a lock member is substantially the same as the rotation direction of a second housing when the second housing is rotated from a closed position to an opened position. Thus, when the second housing is in a closed state, a user presses a base in a direction indicated by an arrow D with a finger of a hand, engages the finger with an inner surface of a concave, and displaces the hand in a direction indicated by an arrow B, thereby performing lock cancel of the lock member and a rotation operation of the second housing continuously.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of LCDs, and more particularly to a frame for an LCD device and an LCD device including the frame. The frame includes four edge frames; at least one pair of mutually parallel edge frames of the four edge frames are separately provided with a ripple structure. The ripple structure of the invention is similar to a telescopic ripple part of a drinking straw. The dimensions of one pair of edge frames provided with the ripple structure in the length direction can be adjusted. When the dimensions of two or more kinds of frames are different but similar, a same frame can be shared to achieve the effect of one object with multiple purposes, thereby reducing the number and development cost of special moulds, shortening the development cycle of the product, and avoiding the problem that a great deal of stagnant materials are inconveniently handled when developing single device. Thus, the aim of reducing cost is achieved.

The inner panel and the outer panel are disposed parallel to each other at regular intervals to define an internal space. The strip of metal plate extends from an inner surface of the outer panel. The strip of shape memory material extends from an inner surface of the inner panel and is attached or detached to/from the metal plate on the outer panel while changing into an original straight shape or a bent shape according to a temperature variation. Here, when the temperature increase beyond a first transition temperature, the shape memory material straightens to form a heat transfer path. At a low temperature environment, the shape memory material bends and is separated from the metal plate to interrupt the heat transfer path.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a frame structure of a liquid crystal display module, comprises a front frame having a slot defined in a displaying surface thereof. A backframe is partially disposed within the front fame. The backframe is provided with an embossed portion engaged into the slot. The present invention further provides a liquid crystal display module. The present invention can effectively prevent the external and excessive force from creating a deformation of the front frame when external and excessive force is applied to drive a screw to interlock the front frame and the backframe. Accordingly, the unwanted deformation which may jeopardize the aesthetic appearance and leakage of light source can be completely avoided.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a case frame is provided in which a real material is simulated by the manufacturing process from both an appearance and a texture (feel). In the method, a case frame is formed in a shape corresponding to an applied product. A first paint layer is formed using color of a material applied to a surface of the formed case frame. A pattern print layer corresponding to a texture pattern of a relevant material is formed on an upper portion of the first paint layer. A second paint layer is formed such that the first paint layer and a pattern of the pattern print layer are properly expressed that their texture simulates a relevant material. The pattern print layer is further additionally formed on an upper portion of the first paint layer, so that texture of the relevant material can be simulated more realistically.

    Abstract: An injection molded housing for a portable electronic device is provided. The housing contains a thermoplastic composition that includes a polyarylene sulfide melt processed in the presence of a disulfide compound and a filler. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the disulfide can undergo a chain scission reaction with the starting polyarylene sulfide to lower its melt viscosity, which can lead to decreased attrition of the filler and thus improved mechanical properties. Due to this ability to reduce viscosity during melt processing, the present inventors have discovered that relatively high molecular weight polyarylene sulfides can be fed to the extruder with little difficulty.

  • Patent number: 8537562
    Abstract: Manufacture of electronic devices is usually accomplished through automated assembly lines using automated conveyors. These automated conveyors, typically comprising metallic components, cannot convey electronic devices into an RF chamber for testing (e.g., RF) during manufacture without compromising the efficacy of the shielding provided by the RF chamber. Thus, although electronic devices are assembled on automated assembly lines, a device is typically removed from the automated assembly line for testing, transported manually into an RF chamber, powered on, and then tested. After testing, the electronic device is powered down, manually removed from the RF chamber, and returned to the assembly line. Described herein are embodiments of a system and method to automatically transport electronic devices under power through an RF isolated chamber for testing (e.g., RF) as part of an automated assembly line process resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of electronic devices that can be tested.
