| 20140102923 | COMPUTER ENCLOSURE WITH HEIGHT-ADJUSTING FEET - A computer enclosure includes an enclosure base, an enclosure cover, two pivoting rods or axles, two height-adjusting feet, pushing members, and two connecting poles. The enclosure cover pivots on the enclosure base and the pivoting axles are connected to the enclosure base and pivot with the enclosure cover. The pivoting axles are not circular but present lobes or cams at a certain angle. The connecting poles are connected to the pivoting axles and the pushing members, the pushing members are fixed on the enclosure base and connected to the height-adjusting feet. Rotating the cover up and away from the enclosure base causes the lobes of the pivoting axles to lift and thus bear down on the height-adjusting feet, extending them through the enclosure base to take the weight of the computer and provide a larger space for the movement of cooling air underneath the computer. | 04-17-2014 |
| 20140104774 | NOTEBOOK COMPUTER WITH AUDIO MODULE - A notebook computer comprises a base and a screen pivotally attached to the base. A groove is defined in the base for mounting an audio module. The audio module is pivotally mounted in the groove by a resilient member and configured to receive or send audio signals for users. The screen is rotatable between a closed position, where the screen covers the base module; and an open position, where the screen departs from the base module. When the screen is in the closed position, the audio module is in a first position, where the audio module is fully received in the groove, and the resilient member is compressed by the screen. When the screen is in the open position, the audio module is rotated to a second position, where the audio module protrudes out from the groove and the resilient member is released. | 04-17-2014 |

The keyboard module is detachably mounted on the base to expose the screen. The cover rotates relative to the base to have the first supporting end and the second supporting end supporting the cover and the base to use the screen. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20140211395 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DETACHABLE KEYBOARD - An electronic device includes a base and a keyboard module. The base defines a receiving space in which a number of magnets is received. The keyboard module includes a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. A frame is connected between sidewalls of the first side and the second side. The first side includes a key unit. The second side includes a screen. The keyboard module includes a number of mounting members made of magnetic material. The keyboard module is received in the receiving space in either a first position to expose the key unit to the first surface, or a second position to expose the screen to the first surface. The magnets are configured to adhere to the number of mounting members to secure the keyboard module in the receiving space. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20140211397 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND INDICATING METHOD FOR CONNECTORS - An electronic device includes a housing, a connector and an indicating structure. The connector is mounted to the housing. The indicating structure is located on the housing corresponding to the connector. The indicating structure includes a proximity switch and a luminescent component. The proximity switch is configured to switch on the luminescent component when detecting presence of a nearby peripheral connector. The peripheral connector is easily coupled to the connector. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20140217874 | TOUCH-SENSITIVE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An electronic device includes a cover member rotatably connected to a base member. A magnetic lock is located on a working surface of the base member. A touch-sensitive bar is located on a side surface of the base member. When the cover member and the base member are closed, the magnetic lock provides a magnetic attraction between the cover member and the base member. When the touch-sensitive bar detects a touch gesture input by a user and the touch gesture matches a predefined touch gesture, the magnetic lock releases the magnetic attraction between the cover member and the base member. | 08-07-2014 |
