An industrial computer having mainly a fastening frame, a computer unit fastened with the fastening frame, a computer unit fastened with the fastening frame, and a control panel openably fastened on one side of the control panel to the fastening frame, wherein the control pane can be opened sidewise to facilitate the repairing and maintenance of the computer unit.
Abstract:
A mechanism for precisely mounting a light object (e.g., LCD TV) on a wall is disclosed. The mechanism is shaped as a parallelepiped box having an open top and comprises a removable support including four pairs of first threaded holes on a front side so that the light object and the removable support can be threadedly fastened together, and a second threaded hole at either side; and a mated fixed support received in the removable support, the fixed support including a plurality of openings on a rear side and two side slots. First fasteners are driven through the openings into the wall for securing the fixed support to the wall. Further, second expansion screws are driven through the slots and the second threaded holes for fastening the removable and the fixed supports together.
Abstract:
A shock-avoiding structure for hard disk having four threaded apertures in four corners is disclosed. The device comprises a plurality of fasteners each having a first portion driven into the aperture and a second portion projected from the hard disk; a parallelepiped chassis in a computer case for receiving the hard disk, the chassis including a plurality of recesses on either side; and a plurality of elongated shock absorbing members formed of elastomeric material, each having a first section end urged against the second portion of the fastener, a second section projected from the side of the chassis, and an intermediate, annular groove anchored on the recess for suspending the hard disk in the chassis. An assembly order of the fasteners and the shock absorbing members is not critical in a manufacturing process, thus significantly increasing yield. The hard disk can also be configured as a removable one.
Abstract:
A USB removable mechanism is built into a recess in a computer. The recess is sized to conform to a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive. An electronic device for I/O control or analog/digital conversion is detachably mounted in the mechanism. The electronic device comprises two rear USB connectors coupled to and secured to rear USB sockets in the recess for signal communication. A number of advantages are obtained such as easy assembly of one of a variety of electronic devices in the recess, easy replacement of the mounted electronic device, Plug and Play, portable, modular, mountable in an existing 3.5-inch floppy disk drive compartment of the computer without modification.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a computer mouse having a front sight button and the method for generating local coordinates with the same, which comprises a position sensor for generating coordinates in accordance with the movement of the mouse, a front sight button for generating a local shooting signal when being pressed, a serial interface device, of which one end is connected to a personal computer for exchanging data between the mouse and the personal computer, and a processing unit. The processing unit is connected to the position sensor, the front sight button and the serial interface device. Upon receiving a local shooting signal, the processing unit generates a specific area having plural perimeter coordinates corresponding to the current coordinate. The processing unit further transmits the current coordinate, the perimeter coordinates and corresponding key-stroke signals sequentially to the personal computer through the serial interface device.
Abstract:
An industrial computer without a fan is provided. The industrial computer comprises an aluminum case including a plurality of top fins projected toward a vertical direction and a plurality of side fins projected toward a horizontal direction; a motherboard including a plurality of heat-generating members such as CPU and north-bridge chipset formed thereon; and a radiating member having a top in contact with an inner surface of the case and a bottom rested upon the heat-generating members.
Abstract:
A method of changing EDID of a memory of a motherboard in response to replacing an LCD panel of a computer with a different one comprises detecting a chipset; reading a SM bus base or GPIO base; activating a writing mechanism; selecting compatible EDID; writing the EDID into the memory; detecting an error; and closing the writing mechanism. The invention can be embodied by means of software rather than hardware. Thus, it is much convenient.
Abstract:
An arrangement for fixing an interface card in an expansion slot includes a guide member fixed transversely across the expansion slot. The guide member includes an elongated slide slot arranged to slidably receive a plurality of sliders. A respective adjustment screw is threaded through each of the sliders, and a clamping plate is threaded onto the end of each of the adjustment screws. Each clamping plate includes a grooved bottom that fits over an interface card to secure it in the expansion slot when the clamping plate is vertically positioned by turning the adjustment screw, and horizontally positioned by sliding the corresponding slider in the slide slot.
Abstract:
SOC (System On Chip) for optical mouse with 8-pins is provided. The SOC of the invention has three power pins for coupling a first power voltage, a second power voltage and ground voltage, a driving pin for controlling a light source, an optical sensing array for receiving reflected light, two signal pins for data exchange with a host and two IO pins. For at least five different switches of the optical mouse that receive touch controls of users, each IO pin receives and distinguishes statuses of multiple switches, such that a total pin count of the IO pins is less than a total number of switches.
