A video recording device, holster and article of clothing are disclosed to reliably and covertly provide for the capture of video, audio, and metadata, and perform other commands. The holster may be provided with a carrier that is, in turn, inserted into the holster. In one embodiment, the holster may be confirmed as being associated with the video recording device to authenticate a user, and establishes a docked position. Moreover, the video recording device may enter a mode of operation associated with using the video recording apparatus automatically when inserted into a holster.

The invention relates to a storage case comprising two parts, each with an outer side and an inner side, where a side area on each part may comprise a connecting element for hinged connection with the other part, where at least one of the two parts on the outer side comprises a circumferential frame connectable with the part and with a central aperture and where further a display element is positioned on the outer side of the at least one part and interlocked between the outer side and the frame connectable to the part.

A heat sink can be used as part of a storage drive to perform multiple functions, both structural and thermodynamic. It can be used as a heat dissipating element and it can be used as the key mechanical mounting structure for storage drives, such as hard disk drives (HDD), and any circuit boards.

An apparatus includes acoustic equipment and an enclosure to support the acoustic equipment. The enclosure includes a front cover member, a middle cover member, a back cover member, and a hinge to connect the front cover member to the back cover member. The hinge enables the movement of the front cover member and the back cover member between an open position and a closed position. The middle cover member is disposed between the front cover member and the back cover member, with the middle cover member being connected to the hinge to enable movement of the middle cover member and the back cover member between an open position and a closed position. The enclosure further includes a first latch configured to releasably secure the middle cover member to the back cover member, and a second latch configured to releasably secure the front cover member to the back cover member.

A protection system for portable electronic devices may include a first impact absorbing panel, a second impact absorbing panel, and multiple spacers adapted to hold the panels apart to accommodate the thickness of a portable electronic device inserted between the panels. The system may include a first rigid shell having multiple attachment slots around its periphery, a first impact absorbing material on the inner side of the first shell, a second rigid shell having multiple attachment slots around its periphery, a second impact absorbing material on the inner side of the second shell, multiple spacers adapted to attach to the shells at the attachment slots. The spacers hold the panels apart with their inner sides facing each other to form a protected space for the portable electronic devices between the shells and spacers.

A data storage device (DSD) with improved manufacturing method. The DSD includes a main printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a first PCB connector and a second PCB connector. The DSD also includes a first flash card mounted over the main PCB and including a flash memory and a flash card connector configured to connect to the first PCB connector, and a second flash card mounted over the main PCB and including a flash memory and a flash card connector configured to connect to the second PCB connector. The first flash card and the second flash card are mounted over the main PCB in a plane substantially parallel with the main PCB. The main PCB can be mounted to a base before connecting the first and second flash cards, or the first and second flash cards can be mounted to the main PCB before mounting to the base.

An electronic device includes a chassis, a carrier for a storage device, and a cover. The chassis includes a panel defining an opening. A supporting frame is received in the chassis and forms two resilient hooks. The carrier is received in the supporting frame and defines two hooking slots engaging with the resilient hooks. The cover is detachably mounted on the panel and includes a covering plate covering the opening. A pulling mechanism extends down from a middle of a bottom of the covering plate and includes two protrusions. When the cover is detached from the panel and rotated to allow the pulling mechanism to extend through the opening, the protrusions engage in the hooking slots and disengage the resilient hooks from the hooking slots. When the cover is pulled outward, the carrier is pulled out of the opening by the protrusions.

The holster may be provided with a carrier that is, in turn, inserted into the holster. In one embodiment, the holster may be confirmed as being associated with the video recording device to authenticate a user, and establishes a docked position. Moreover, the video recording device may enter a mode of operation associated with using the video recording apparatus automatically when inserted into a holster.

A compact portable video recording device that records when activated. A casing module contains an embedded camera that is connected to a weighted foundational support by means of a variable hinge which can be adjusted in an upward or downward position to adjust the viewing angle. The variable hinge allows the casing module to be aimed in any direction and maintain its position. At the time of activation of the portable video recording device connects using wireless communication. The video data is recorded to a removable memory and may be viewed live externally using wireless communication and interfacing with an external device or smart device. Adjusting the portable video recording device to a folded or off position stops the local video recording, ends the wireless communications and places the device in an energy conservation state.

A hard disk includes a first cover member including a first cover plate and a pair of first lateral walls extended from edges of thereof, each of the first lateral wall is formed with a support piece and a latch hook respectively protruded towards inward, the support piece and the latch hook are not arranged at same horizontal level in a direction perpendicular to the first cover plate; a second cover member, disposed at the outer side of the first cover member and engaged with the first cover member; and a storage module, accommodated inside the first cover member and including a circuit board having edges thereof clamped between distal ends of the latch hooks and the support pieces. Accordingly, the assembly can be easily achieved through fastening the storage module in the first cover member then sleeving the first cover member and the second cover member.
