    摘要: A notebook computer base housing has operatively disposed therein a CD ROM drive, a hard disk drive and a floppy disk drive, an AC/DC electrical power converter, a modem, a PCMCIA card bay structure and a battery. This internal provision of three drive units in addition to the other equipment within the base housing is facilitated from a space standpoint by the vertical stacking of the hard disk drive atop the CD ROM drive within the base housing. To dissipate the operating heat from these components within the base housing, a heat spreader plate is interposed between the CD ROM drive and the overlying hard disk drive, and the high heat-generating components—namely, the modem, the AC/DC converter, the PCMCIA card bay structure, and the computer processor—are closely grouped together, with the AC/DC converter in thermal communication with a second heat spreader plate. The processor is disposed above the other high heat-generating components on a horizontally oriented main system circuit board. with the circuit board having top and bottom side heat sink members thermally communicated with the processor. An axial fan disposed in the base housing creates an upper flow of cooling air that passes over the upper heat sink member, and a lower flow of cooling air that passes over the lower heat sink member and the heat-generating components grouped below the processor.

    摘要: The invention provides a modular network sensor assembly operable to sense environmental conditions at a computer or equipment rack. The network sensor assembly includes a flexible body operable to be folded along a central fold line. The central fold line separates the flexible body into a first panel and second panel. A number of mounting tabs are hingedly attached to either the first panel or second panel. These mounting tabs are operable to secure the network assembly to the computer rack. A number of sensor tabs are located along the central fold line. Addressable sensors capable of sensing environmental conditions are positioned proximate to the sensor tabs, and communicatively coupled to a common bus. A memory device is also communicatively coupled to the common bus and is operable to store configuration information and data associated with the sensed environmental conditions sampled by the addressable sensors.

    摘要: The present invention provides a lever apparatus for use in a personal computer that has a chassis with a wall and an interior portion that contains a frame configured to retain an ejectable structure therein. The frame has an ejector mechanism associated therewith for ejecting an ejectable structure therefrom, and the lever apparatus actuates the ejector mechanism to eject the ejectable structure from the frame. The lever apparatus comprises an elongated body pivotally that is coupled to the wall and that has an axis of rotation with respect to the wall. The elongated body may be pivotally coupled to the wall by a pin and hinge member The elongated body has a digit contact end external to the interior portion and an oppositely disposed cam end operable against the ejector mechanism. The cam end exerts a leverage force against the ejector mechanism when the elongated body is pivoted from a non-engaged position to an engaged position, to thereby eject the ejectable structure from the frame.

    摘要: A computer systems which combines the capabilities of both notepad and notebook computers. The main housing includes an liquid crystal display display with a digitizer input to be used as the display in all modes and the input device when used with a stylus in notepad mode. Also located in the main housing are a floppy disk drive, a hard disk drive, an optional modem unit, batteries, and the electronics of the computer. The main housing contains a recessed portion for receiving a detachable keyboard. The keyboard includes a pivoting, mating extension which is received in the recess so that the keyboard is retained in the recess during storage conditions and in some cases of use, where the housing acts as a partial keyboard support to allow angling of the keyboard. The keyboard contains pivoting legs so that the keyboard can be used remotely from the main housing and yet be angled. The main housing contains a pivoting portion which can operate as a stand when the computer is being operated with the keyboard, so that the display is properly angled for viewing by the user. The pivoting portion can also be pivoted to a position generally parallel with the main housing, but having a portion extending past the housing to act as a handle.
