The present invention provides a locking mechanism in a mobile terminal and a method of manufacturing the same. The locking mechanism comprises a slider, latch, button, and spring. The slider and latch include openings and may translate between a locked position and an unlocked position. The latch may include a protrusion that limits the translation of the slider and the latch when in the locked position. The button is located within the opening of the slider and the opening of the latch, and the spring member is fixed adjacent the latch. In an instance in which an external force is applied to the button, the external force deforms the spring member such that contact between a vertical edge of the protrusion and the spring is precluded allowing translation of the slider and the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position.

An apparatus comprises an electronic equipment chassis comprising a housing and at least one lid, the housing comprising a control panel with a first set of one or more status indicators. The apparatus also comprises at least one latch configured for securing the at least one lid to the housing, the at least one latch comprising a second set of one or more status indicators. The apparatus further comprises a processing device configured to determine status information for electronic equipment housed in the electronic equipment chassis, the status information characterizing whether at least one of opening and removing the at least one lid is safe to perform at a given time, and controlling, based at least in part on the determined status information, at least one of the first set of indicators and at least one of the second set of indicators.

An electronic device or electronic device assembly may comprise a first portion and a second portion, a first magnet disposed inside the first portion and rotatable about a pivot axis with respect to the first portion, and a second magnet disposed inside the second portion and rotatable about a pivot axis with respect to the second portion. The first and second magnet may be configured to rotate so that the first and second magnets magnetically engage each other when the distance between the first and second magnet is equal to or smaller than a first distance.

A pushing mechanism, configured to be disposed on a case body, includes a fixed component, a slidable component and a pushing component. The slidable component is disposed on the fixed component and includes a connection plate and a guiding plate. The guiding plate protrudes from the connection plate and has a first supporting portion, a second supporting portion and an inclined guiding portion connected to the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion. The first supporting portion is closer to the connection plate than the second supporting portion. The pushing component is disposed on the fixed component. A slidable direction of the pushing component differs from a slidable direction of the slidable component. When the slidable component is moved relative to the fixed component, the pushing component is guided by the guiding plate to slide between the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion.

A latching apparatus has a first component and a second component. The first component is made of a first material and includes a distal end, a proximal end, and an indention between the distal end the proximal end. The distal end includes a mating tab, whereas the proximal end includes a flange member for fixing the first component to a lid of a housing. The second component is made of a second material and is coupled to the mating tab. The second component includes a receiving element for engaging with a securing element of the housing. The latching element includes a pressing region formed in one of the first component and the second component between the indention and the receiving element. The first material has a higher flexibility that the second material.

A latch mechanism for securing an expansion card assembly in a computer chassis includes a lever, a stop member, a rotary latch, a first biasing structure, and a second biasing structure. The lever includes a latching end and an opposing pinned end. The stop member extends from the pinned end. The rotary latch is connected to the latching end and includes a receiving chamber and a hook structure. The hook structure includes a notch for receiving a stop pin. The first biasing structure extends from the lever into the receiving chamber and is configured to urge the rotary latch into a locked position. The second biasing structure is configured to urge the lever about the pinned end to an open position.

A surgical stapling device includes a handle assembly, an adapter assembly, and a reload assembly that is releasably secured to the adapter assembly to facilitate replacement of the reload assembly after each use of the stapling device. The reload assembly includes an authentication chip and printed circuit board assembly that is constructed to provide electrical contacts that are self-supporting to allow for automated assembly of the electrical contacts and provide a more reliable, robust electrical connection between the electrical contacts and the chip.

A robotic post system includes one or more composable robotic posts each having a processor and a memory. At least one composable post includes a set of modules including one or more pairable latches which is configured to couple and lock with another pairable latch from among another set of modules included on another of the composable posts, such that the composable robotic posts form a composable surface supported by the composable robotic posts.

In an approach to a one-handed removable component (RC) extraction, a fixed length strap and a variable length strap, based on a configurable diameter loop in the variable length strap, are attached to each other. The variable length loop passes through the RC extraction handle and encircles a RC release lever. The fixed length strap is attached to the RC extraction handle. The loop diameter is calibrated such that pulling on the fixed length strap first applies force to the variable length loop engaging the release handle, in a direction perpendicular to the applied force, without damage before transferring force to the fixed length strap to extract the RC.

Present embodiments relate to a multiplex controller assembly. More specifically, but without limitation, present embodiments relate to a controller which may be multiplexed by addition of one or more controller assemblies in order to provide easier control of multiple systems within a recreational vehicle (RV).
