Abstract:
A supporting frame with a casing has a frame body and a casing. The frame body has two inclined lower lateral rods at the lower end and two stopping posts at the upper front ends thereof. Two studs serve to fix the casing so that the casing is rotatable to protrude out of the frame body and can be drawn back into the frame body to be placed on the lower supporting rods. An upper side of the two opposite sides of the casing has a respective inclined edge. A rear lower end of each inclined edge has a protrusion. As the casing protrudes out of the frame body. The protrusion will resist against the stopping posts so that the casing will not leave from the frame body.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of an ambient light sensor configured to determine the direction of a beam of light incident thereon are disclosed. In one embodiment, an ambient light sensor is provided that comprises a plurality of light detectors arranged in a spatial array upon a light sensing surface. Each of the light detectors in the array is configured to generate an analog output voltage in response to the beam of ambient light falling thereon. The amount of light incident on the individual light detectors in the spatial array varies according to the position of each such sensor with respect to direction of the beam of ambient light. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is operably coupled to the plurality of light detectors and is configured to receive the analog output signals generated thereby as inputs thereto, and to provide digital output values representative of the analog signals. Control logic circuitry is operably coupled to the ADC and configured to receive the digital output values therefrom, and is further configured to process such digital output values to determine the direction of the beam of light incident upon the spatial array.

The sensor is capable of detecting a characteristic of the exhaust fluid flowing within the conduit and producing a signal indicating the characteristic. A processor is coupled to the sensor. A venting apparatus is coupled to the processor. The processor compares the characteristic of the exhaust fluid with at least one predetermined value to control the venting apparatus.
Abstract:
A keystroke apparatus for an optical disk drive includes a computer bezel (40), an optical disk drive (10) having a keystroke (12), a pressing member (20) movably attached to the computer bezel (40) and at least one spring (30) causing the pressing member (20) to come back to an original position. The pressing member (20) has a slanted resisting portion (25) for abutting against the keystroke (12). When the pressing member (20) is pressed, the resisting portion (25) drives the keystroke (12) to open or close the optical disk drive (10).
