Patent number: 10813245Abstract: An apparatus case includes a first casing member, a second casing member, a driving portion, a blocking portion, and a rotary shaft. The first casing member and the second casing member are detachably engaged with each other. The driving portion is disposed on the first casing member. The blocking portion and the rotary shaft are rotatably disposed on the second casing member and connected with each other. A server includes the apparatus case and a circuit board disposed on the first casing member of the apparatus case. When the second casing member moves from a first position to a second position relative to the first casing member, the driving portion drives the rotary shaft to rotate so that the rotary shaft drives the blocking portion to rotate above an expansion slot of the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventor: Chia-Hsin Liu

Patent number: 10790652Abstract: An operation device includes a control board, a case, a base member, and a protective cover located inside the case and protecting the control board by separating, inside the case, a space defined by the base member and the case into a first space for the control board and a second space exposed to the base member. The base member has an annular rib surrounding an installation hole. The protective cover has, on a surface facing the base member, a recess in an area corresponding to the rib. The rib is fitted in the recess with a leading edge in contact with the bottom of the recess. A screw inserted in the hole has a head inside a third space defined by the rib and the bottom of the recess.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kenichiro Okura, Yoshiteru Murata, Mitsuhiro Sugimura

Patent number: 10788811Abstract: In one embodiment, an enclosure generator automatically generates an enclosure for a device based on a three-dimensional (3D) model of a target surface and component instances that are associated with different positions within the device. In operation, the enclosure generator computes a surface region based on the target surface and the component instances. Subsequently, the enclosure generator computes a front panel model and a back structure model based on the surface region. Notably, the back structure model includes support structure geometries. Together, the front panel model and the back structure model comprise an enclosure model. The enclosure generator then stores the enclosure model or transmits the enclosure model to a 3D fabrication device. Advantageously, unlike conventional, primarily manual approaches to enclosure generation, the enclosure generator does not rely on the user possessing any significant technical expertise.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Tovi Grossman, George Fitzmaurice, Fraser Anderson, Raf Ramakers
