Publication number: 20130169124Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a fixing structure for power module therefor are disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes an apparatus casing and the fixing structure disposed in the apparatus casing. The fixing structure includes a mounting base, close to a main board inside the apparatus casing and thereon forming a sliding slot, and a detachable bracket, including a frame and a guiding part connected to the frame fixedly. The guiding part is capable of being slid into the sliding slot so as to mount the detachable bracket on the mounting base. The frame forms an accommodating space in the apparatus casing. The opening of the accommodating space is toward the opening of the apparatus casing; a removable power module is capable of being inserted into the accommodating space through the openings. Thereby, the invention can reduce the installation complexity of a conventional fixing structure for removable power module efficiently.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2012Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: WISTRON CORPORATIONInventor: Wistron Corporation

Patent number: 8477504Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure, systems and methods for aligning blind-mate connectors are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises an avionics processing canister that is coupled to a mounting block. The avionics processing canister comprises a first portion of a first blind-mate connector, and a face plate with a surface that defines a pin-hole and a slot. The slot has a short dimension substantially equal to the diameter of the pin-hole and a long dimension perpendicular to the short dimension. The long dimension is longer than the short dimension. The system also comprises a first fastener that is received through the pin-hole and then into a first hole defined by a surface of the mounting block. The pin-hole has a diameter that is substantially equal to an outer diameter of the first fastener. The system also comprises a second fastener that is received through the slot and then into a second hole defined by a surface of the mounting block.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2009Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventor: Jayson K.

Patent number: 8474769Abstract: A mounting apparatus includes a drive bracket assembly, a back panel, and a securing member. The back panel is mounted to the drive bracket assembly along a first direction. The securing member is slidably mounted on the drive bracket assembly. The securing member secures the back panel to the drive bracket assembly to prevent the back panel moving along the first direction. The securing member is capable of sliding along a second direction that is generally perpendicular to the first direction to a position, so the back panel is capable of moving along the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zhan-Yang Li, Jian-Jun Xie
