Combined audio jack and mobile electronic device enclosure
Enclosures for electronic devices are provided. These enclosures can be integrally formed with a full or partial receptacle connector shell for receiving electrical connectors such as audio connectors or plugs. For example, an enclosure made from a polymer can be integrally formed with an audio jack shell in an injection molding process. As another example, an enclosure can be integrally formed with one or more full or partial walls of an audio jack shell to form a single piece of polymer or metal and the remaining walls of the audio jack shell can be overmolded or assembled to the polymer or metal walls of the audio jack and proximate portions of the enclosure to form a full or complete audio jack shell.
Display device
Provided is a display device that has: first engaging portions formed on a frame member; and second engaging portions that are formed on a front plate and engage with the first engaging portions. A gap is formed between an inner surface of a side wall of the frame member and a side wall of a cutout of the front plate. The first engaging portion and the second engaging portion engage with each other such that movement is restricted in a long side direction of the side wall, while sliding in a direction intersecting with the side wall is enabled.
REFRACTIVE COATINGS FOR A COLORED SURFACE OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A refractive coating such as a white layer is disposed on a housing component of a portable electronic device. The refractive coating includes pigment particles such as titanium dioxide suspended in a carrier medium such as a polymer matrix. The pigment particles each define air pores or other voids formed by at least partially sintering the pigment particles. A difference in refractive index between the air pores and the pigment particles is greater than that between the carrier medium and the pigment particles. Incident light is refracted at interfaces between the pigment particles and the air pores, increasing light refracted by the refractive coating compared to refractive coatings including pigment particles lacking the air pores.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING A DISPLAY SCREEN OF A DISPLAY MONITOR
A system for protecting a display screen of a display monitor is disclosed. The system includes a protective transparent panel, and a retention bezel. The protective transparent panel has an inner panel portion surrounded by an outer peripheral panel portion. The inner panel portion has a panel area equal to the screen viewing area, and an outer peripheral panel portion extending outwardly of the inner panel portion to overlay the monitor bezel. The retention bezel has a mounting portion and a front flange portion. The mounting portion is sized to encircle the protective transparent and the monitor housing, and the mounting portion extends rearwardly to overlay the monitor housing. The front flange portion overlays the outer peripheral panel portion, and has an inward width of between 0.1 mm and 5 mm. The mounting portion and the front flange portion have a material thickness of less than 5 mm.
DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING DISPLAY PANEL AND A CASE THAT COVERS AN EDGE OF THE DISPLAY PANEL
Provided is a display device which may include a display panel having a long side in a first direction, a short side in a second direction, and a thickness in a third direction, a back cabinet disposed in the rear of the display panel, and a case that covers an edge of a front surface of the display panel. The case may include a horizontal case that covers an edge of the front surface of the display panel on a long side of the display panel and a vertical case covering an edge of the front surface of the display panel on a short side of the display panel. The horizontal case and the vertical case may be coupled to each other in a region corresponding to a corner of the display panel, and the horizontal case and the vertical case may be formed of different materials.
Cover opening structure
A cover opening structure including a case, a cover, a pushing button, a pushing unit and an axle is provided. The cover has a first portion having a first side, a second portion having a second side connected to the case, and a connecting portion connected therebetween, wherein the connecting portion is softer than the first and second portions. The pushing button disposed on the case has a body and an inserting portion extended from the body. The pushing unit has a first end, a second end and a leaning portion connected therebetween and is inserted between the body and the first end. The axle is disposed at the case while the leaning portion leans against the axle. The pushing unit rotates about the axle while the first end moves downward and the second end moves upward to push up the first portion when the pushing button is moved.
Disconnect cabinet with wireless monitoring capability
A disconnect system for a solar installation shuts down power upstream from an inverter, so that it is safe for solar field personnel to perform work related to a solar installation. The system actuates multiple disconnect devices in one motion by a linkage assembly which can associate 2-4 disconnect switches with a single handle. This system preferably includes hardware and logic for monitoring the current and voltage output of electrically coupled combiner/recombiner boxes in the solar field, and for wirelessly transmitting this data to a user. A single disconnect cabinet can accommodate 2-20 inputs from associated recombiner boxes with 5 handles or less.
Electronic device for vehicle
An electronic device for a vehicle includes: a digital substrate having a first semiconductor package with a CPU, a second semiconductor package with a volatile memory readable and writable from the CPU, a third semiconductor package with a flash memory storing a start-up program of the CPU, and a fourth semiconductor package with a power supply management integrated circuit; and a fan that takes in air along the surface of the digital substrate on which the first to fourth semiconductor packages are mounted. The third semiconductor package is disposed to distance from the first semiconductor package by at least a first predetermined distance and to distance from the fourth semiconductor package by at least a second predetermined distance exceeding the first predetermined distance, and is disposed in a passage of the air taken in by the fan.
Configurable Device Control Network
A network includes a first device control assembly and at least one second device control assembly. The first device control assembly is electrically connected to a power distribution panel. The first device control assembly is further configured to regulate a load. The at least one second device control assembly is electrically connected to a power distribution panel. The first device control assembly is in data communication with the at least one second device control assembly. The first device control assembly regulating the load based on the data communication from the at least one second device control assembly.
Modular Device Control Unit
An apparatus includes a backplate including at least one backplate contact, a cover, and a lock. The at least one backplate contact facilitates an electrical connection to a power source. The cover shields the at least one backplate contact when the cover is placed in a closed position. The cover is further translatable to an open position to conditionally expose the at least one backplate contact. The lock applies a force to the cover and positions the cover in the closed position unless a counter-force greater than the force is received by the lock.
