A latching mechanism comprising a hook connected to a first component. The hook has a first position disposed within the first component and a second position extending from the first component. The latching mechanism further comprising a receptacle disposed within a second component and engaged with the hook. A magnet is disposed within the second component and moves the hook from the first position to the second position as the second component is disposed in close proximity to the first component. A push-button release mechanism is disposed within the first component and moves the hook from the second position so as to disengage said hook from said receptacle.
摘要:
An electronic device comprises a display member pivotally and rotationally coupled to a base member and an anti-rotation mechanism configured to be magnetically responsive to prevent rotational movement of the display member relative to the base member based on a position of the display member relative to the base member.

摘要:
A computer microprocessor has a housing portion with a recess formed in a top side wall thereof, and a die portion inset within the recess. Operating heat from the die is removed by heat dissipation apparatus which automatically adapts to variations in the microprocessor bond line thickness and includes a sheet metal EMI shield wall overlying the microprocessor and having a condensing end portion of a thermosyphoning heat pipe secured to its bottom side, with an evaporating end portion of the heat pipe overlying the die recess and being resiliently deflectable toward a phase change thermal pad mounted on the top side of the die and inset into the housing die recess. A metal heat sink member is rotatably mounted on the heat pipe evaporating end portion and has a flat bottom side and an arcuate top side. The heat sink member is resiliently deflected into the die recess, and has its flat bottom side resiliently pressed against the thermal interface pad, by a spring plate portion of a clamping structure downwardly engaging the arcuate top side of the heat sink member. During operation of the microprocessor, die heat is transferred to the metal shield wall sequentially through the thermal pad, the heat sink member, and the heat pipe and then dissipated from the shield wall using fan-generated cooling air flowed along the shield wall.
