摘要： A pen-type computer peripheral device includes an elongated housing containing a PCBA having a plug connector and a fingerprint sensor mounted thereon. The PCBA is secured to a positioning member that is actuated by way of a press-push button that is exposed through a slot defined in a wall of the housing. By pressing and pushing (sliding) the press-push button along the slot, the fingerprint sensor and the plug connector are moved between a retracted position, in which the fingerprint sensor is positioned inside of the housing and the plug connector is covered by a portion of the housing wall, and a deployed position in which the fingerprint sensor is exposed through the slot and the plug connector extends through a front housing opening such that both the fingerprint sensor and the plug connector are exposed outside of the housing.

摘要： A Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) device has a USB plug with reduced wobble. A USB metal wrap around the perimeter of the USB plug is attached to a housing by overmolding. A plug supporter is inserted into the front of the USB metal wrap, and has locking tabs that snap over the inside wall of the housing. Side tabs on the plug supporter fit into side slots on the USB metal wrap to secure the plug supporter inside the USB metal wrap. A circuit board with a USB flash controller has USB metal contacts on an extension end that is inserted through the housing and into the USB metal wrap. The extension end fits underneath top tabs on the plug supporter, preventing the extension end with the USB metal contacts from upward wobble when the USB plug is inserted into a USB socket.

摘要： A case-grounded flash-memory drive has a printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA) with flash-memory chips and a controller chip. The PCBA is encased inside an upper case and a lower case, with a Serial AT-Attachment (SATA) connector that fits through and opening between the cases. The cases can be assembled with the PCBA by a snap-together, ultrasonic-press, screw-fastener, or thermal-bond adhesive method. Dual-axis case-grounding pins draw any electro-static-discharges (ESD) current off the upper case along a primary axis and onto a PCBA ground through a secondary axis washer that is screwed into the PCBA. The primary axis body of the dual-axis case-grounding pins fits around a PCBA notch while the secondary axis passes through a metalized alignment hole for grounding. When the SATA connector is inserted into a host, the host ground sinks ESD currents collected by the dual-axis case-grounding pins.

摘要： In an embodiment of the present invention, a memory card includes a bottom plastic piece having a plurality of lateral sides, one of which includes a notch, and a cavity interposed along the lateral sides. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, including memory, is positioned in the cavity. A fin-structure is created as part of the manufacturing process of the bottom plastic piece of the card. The memory card is configured to function in a read-write mode when the fin-structure is present, and in a write-protect mode when the fins are snapped off, and the notch is exposed. Alternatively, a plug device can be insertably positioned into the notch, causing the memory card to function in a read-write mode when the plug device is positioned into the notch, and in a write-protect mode when the plug device is removed and the notch is exposed.

The PCBA is encased inside an upper case and a lower case, with a Serial AT-Attachment (SATA) connector that fits through an opening between the cases.

Triple-axis case-grounding tabs draw any electro-static-discharges (ESD) current off the upper case along a primary axis and onto a PCBA ground through a secondary axis that is screwed into the PCBA. An intermediary axis between the primary and secondary axes fits around a PCBA notch while the secondary axis passes through a metalized alignment hole on the PCBA for grounding. When the SATA connector is inserted into a host, the host ground sinks ESD currents collected by the triple-axis case-grounding tabs.

摘要： The present invention discloses UV-epoxy and ultrasonic case assembly methods for a USB flash drive, wherein a transparent or translucent top cover is fastened to a bottom cover containing a printed circuit board assembly via an UV-cure epoxy glue or an ultrasonic weld method. As the top cover of the USB flash drive is transparent or translucent, the USB flash drive has a see-through property and presents an aesthetic taste, which can attract the attention of consumers. Further, the method of the present invention uses less case parts and fewer steps and thus can fabricate a USB flash drive having a lower cost and a better quality at a higher throughput. Furthermore, the USB flash drive fabricated according to the method of the present invention has a better moisture resistance and a better water resistance.
