Abstract:
The present invention relates to transgenic animals, as well as compositions and methods relating to the characterization of gene function. Specifically, the present invention provides transgenic mice comprising disruptions in PRO286, PRO706, PRO1800, PRO4354, PRO6029, PRO9739, PRO20044, PRO28631 or PRO34128 genes. Such in vivo studies and characterizations may provide valuable identification and discovery of therapeutics and/or treatments useful in the prevention, amelioration or correction of diseases or dysfunctions associated with gene disruptions such as neurological disorders; cardiovascular, endothelial or angiogenic disorders; eye abnormalities; immunological disorders; oncological disorders; bone metabolic abnormalities or disorders; lipid metabolic disorders; or developmental abnormalities.
Abstract:
A slide mechanism (100) used in portable electronic device (300) is described including a main plate (10), a slide plate (20), two sliders (40), and two guiders (30). The slide plate is installed on the main plate and slidable relative to the main plate. The sliders are securely attached to the slide plate, and the guiders are securely attached to the main plate deformably guiding the sliders to move along it. When the slide plate slides along the main plate, the sliders and the guiders compress with each other, thereby generating deformations therebetween and driving the sliding of the slide plate along the main plate.
Abstract:
A battery cover latch assembly (10) used in a portable electronic device is described. The battery cover latch assembly (10) includes a cover member (12), a body member (11) including at least one first latch (117), a button (13) including at least one second latch (1312), a button housing (14) mounted to the cover member (12). The button (13) is slidably received in the button housing (14). The second latch (1312) detachably engages with the first latch (117) when the button (13) slides in the button housing (14).
Abstract:
A housing (10) of portable electronic devices includes a base (11) and a paint layer (12). The base is made of metal and includes patterns (115) formed thereon. The paint layer is formed on the base and covering the patterns. A method for fabricating the housing is also provided.
Abstract:
A side keypad assembly includes a pressing surface, an opposite mating surface. The pressing surface includes a plurality of keypads protruded thereon. The mating surface includes a plurality of stepped columns protruded thereon corresponding to the plurality of keypads respectively and a plurality of separating protrusions corresponding to the conjoint portions between every two keypads respectively. The invention also provides a portable electronic device using the side keypad assembly.
Abstract:
A testing apparatus (100) for testing the position of a decorative piece (36) on a shell (32) includes a seat (10) and a board (20). A receiving space (144) is defined in the seat for receiving the shell. A measuring hole (22) defined in the board. The board is configured for engaging with the seat. The decorative piece is visible through the measuring hole when the board is attached to the seat. A pattern is disposed on the decorative piece. If the pattern is wholly visible through the measuring hole, the annular decorative piece is positioned correctly. If the pattern is not wholly visible through the measuring hole, the annular decorative piece is not positioned correctly.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a conductive elastic sheet structure mounted on a metallic cover of an electronic device eliminates static electricity. The conductive elastic sheet structure includes a main panel, a first extending portion, and a second extending portion. The main panel includes a first side wall, and a second side wall opposite to the first side wall. The first extending portion and the second extending portion extend from the side edges of the first side wall and the second side wall respectively, and each forms a sharp angle with the main panel. The first extending portion and the second extending portion extend from two opposite sides of the main panel respectively. The invention also provides an electronic device using the conductive elastic sheet structure.
Abstract:
A battery cover latching assembly, detachably securing a battery cover to a housing, includes a button, battery cover, elastic member arranged between the button and the housing, and a resisting member resisting the battery cover away from the housing. The button includes a locking portion. The battery cover includes a corresponding locking member. The locking portion is slidably received in the housing to clamp or release the locking member.
Abstract:
A housing includes a substrate and a decorative layer formed on one surface of the substrate. The decorative layer includes two colored ink coatings, each of which is partially interlaced with the other and has a color depth decreasing from one end thereof towards the other colored ink coating to another end thereof and partially mixed with the other colored ink coating.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device (20) comprises a housing (22), a battery (26), a battery cover (28) and a trigger mechanism (24). The housing (22) have a battery chamber (222) defined therein. The battery cover (28) have a mating portion (2822) formed thereon. The battery (268) assembled in the battery chamber (222) with the battery cover (28) covering thereon. and The trigger mechanism (24) comprise an expanding portion (242), a securing portion (244), and a resisting portion (246), the securing portion (244) have two ends respectively connecting the expanding portion (242) and the resisting portion (246), the mating portion (2822) is configured for securely engaging with the securing portion (244) so as to restrain the expanding portion from expanding. The expanding portion (242) is secured within the battery chamber (222). The resisting portion (246) is configured for resisting against the battery (26). When the mating portion (2822) disengages from the securing portion (244), the expanding portion (242) expands and the resisting portion (246) ejects the battery (26) from the battery chamber (222).
