The controlling portion unlocks the foldable keyboard from the folding state. | 07-05-2012 |
20120226495 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FILTERING OUT NOISE FROM SPEECH OF CALLER - A device and a method for filtering out noise from speech of caller are disclosed. The method is applied to the device, includes: inputting a speech sound of a caller; converting the speech sound to digital signals by an analyzing-to-digital converting unit; analyzing the digital signals to identify a pure speech of the caller and filtering out an extraneous noise thus obtaining pure speech signals of the caller; encoding the pure speech signals by a coder and decoder unit, and submitting the encoded speech signals to the receiver. | 09-06-2012 |
20120287045 | COMPUTER MOUSE HAVING REMOTE CONTROL - An exemplary computer mouse includes a main body and a remote control. The main body includes a receiving cavity for receiving the remote control. The receiving cavity has two opposite sidewalls. Each of the two opposite sidewalls defines a first recess, a second recess, and a third recess. The first recess is located between the second recess and the third recess and is separated from the second recess and the third recess. The remote control includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. Each of the first and second sidewalls of the remote control includes a first protruding post and a second protruding post. Each of the first protruding posts is latched in the corresponding second recess or the corresponding third recess to fix the remote control in the receiving cavity. Each of the second protruding posts slides in the corresponding first recess to make the remote control rotatable. | 11-15-2012 |
20120300415 | RELEASING APPARATUS FOR SIM CARD - A releasing apparatus for a subscriber identity module (SIM) card includes a bracket, a rack received in the bracket for manipulating the SIM card, a pivot pole pivotably received in the bracket, and a movable member pivotably attached to the bracket. The movable member includes a biasing portion and an engaging portion formed from opposite ends of the movable member. A tab and a biasing protrusion are formed from opposite ends of the pivoting member. The engaging portion is operated to rotate the movable member. The biasing portion presses the tab of the pivot pole to rotate the pivot pole. The biasing protrusion biases the rack and SIM card away from the bracket. | 11-29-2012 |
20130021770 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH BUTTON - An electronic device includes a panel, a base, a button, and a balance bar. The panel defines an opening. The base is fixed to a rear side of the panel. A switch and a resilient resisting portion are mounted to a front surface of the base. The button is sandwiched between the panel and the base. The button is partially received in the opening. Two pivot portions are formed a rear side of the button. The balance bar includes a first bar abutting against the resisting portion, two second bars respectively extending from opposite ends of the first bar, and two feet respectively extending from distal ends of the second bars to pivotably connect the pivot portions. When the button is pressed, the balance bar restricts the button to just move linearly to the switch. | 01-24-2013 |
20130141737 | THICKNESS MEASURING SYSTEM FOR MEASURING A THICKNESS OF A PLATE-SHAPED MEMBER - A thickness measuring system for measuring a thickness of a planar plate-shaped member on a conveyer belt includes a processor, a first distance measurer and a second distance measurer. The first distance measurer on one side of the conveyor belt can emit and receive a first light beam parallel to the conveyer belt for reflection off the planar plate-shaped member, and calculate a first distance between the first distance measurer and the plate-shaped member. The second distance measurer on the other side of the conveyor belt can emit and receive a second light beam and a third light beam for reflection off the planar plate-shaped member, and calculate a second distance between the first distance measurer and the plate-shaped member and a third distance between the second distance measurer and the plate-shaped member. | 06-06-2013 |
20140061012 | ROTARY SWITCH - A rotary switch includes a base forming a number of contacts, a support apparatus installed in the base, and a rotary apparatus rotatably installed in the support apparatus. The support apparatus forms zigzag first and second guiding portions. The rotary apparatus includes a rotary pole, a trigger mounted to the rotary pole, two abutting poles, and two resilient members respectively connected between two opposite ends of the rotary pole and the abutting poles. An end portion of each abutting pole slides along the first guiding portion, to allow the abutting poles to stretch and withdraw along a lengthwise direction of the rotary pole, and allow the abutting poles to undulate along the second guiding portion in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the rotary pole, to allow the rotary pole to contact and trigger one of the contacts or pass over the contact. | 03-06-2014 |
