Abstract:
A computer enclosure includes a chassis (90), a cover (10) and a resilient member (50). The chassis includes a recess (911) and at least one locking member (70). A cover is mounted on the chassis. The cover has a stop (115) adapted to engage with the locking member for securing the cover on the chassis. The resilient member is attached to the cover and compressed in the recess for forcing the cover to move away from the chassis when the locking member is disengaged from the stop.
Abstract:
A mounting apparatus for mounting a data storage device (10) includes a drive bracket (30), and a locking device (40) movably attached to the drive bracket via a screw (50). The data storage device forms a pair of studs (20) at each opposite side plate thereof. The drive bracket includes a first side wall (302) and a second side wall (304) respectively defining first and second guiding grooves (3022,3042) thereof. The first side wall defines a locking hole (3027) beside an end of the first guiding groove. The locking device comprises a position slot (405) for fastening a corresponding stud therein, and a locking tab (4046) engaging in the locking hole of the drive bracket for locking the data storage device in the drive bracket.

Abstract:
A protecting device for enclosing cable connectors of a computer includes a rear panel (10) of a computer chassis, a first member (20) and a second member (30). The rear panel has a plurality of I/O ports (102) for the cable connectors inserting thereinto. The first member has a first rear wall. The second member is attached to the rear panel by a second hook. The second member has a second rear wall and a cap around the second hook. The first rear wall is coupled with the second rear wall for enclosing the cable connectors. The cap encloses the second hook with the rear panel.
Abstract:
A mounting apparatus for disk drive devices includes a bracket (30), an operation member (50), and a pair of rails (70). The bracket has a first sidewall (34) and a second sidewall (36) each defining a first retaining hole (342, 362) and a second retaining hole (346, 366). The second sidewall has a protrusion (42). The operation member is slidably mounted on the second sidewall. A hook (66) is formed on the operation member corresponding to the protrusion of the bracket. Each rail protrudes two locating posts (74) corresponding to the first and second retaining holes. In assembly, the operation member is in a holding position in which the locating posts of the rails are retained in the corresponding first and second retaining holes and the hook clasps the protrusion. In disassembly, the operation member is in a released position, and the hook is released from the protrusion.
Abstract:
A universal chirality sensor based on immuno-recognition-driven nanoparticle assembly has been fabricated. The design of smart 10 nm AuNP-antigen and 20 nmAuNP-antibody described for the detection of aflatoxin B1. 10 nm AuNP-antigen and 20 nmAuNP-antibody assemble to symmetric plasmonic nanoparticle dimers, which induced CD signal. The addition of aflatoxin B1 to the chirality sensor resulted in transverse CD signal compared to a blank control as shown by CD measurements. This process also allowed the rapid and facile determination of concentrations of aflatoxin B1 in drinking water (tap water). Good linearity for all calibration curves was obtained, and the limit of detection (LOD) for aflatoxin B1 was 0.02 ng/mL in tap water.

Abstract:
Sample preparation can be a tedious and time consuming task. For example, MALDI imaging of tissue samples can require the tedious process of hand or robotically spotting solutions containing chemical species referred to as “matrix” onto a tissue sample prior its mass spectral analysis. Provided is a process for preparing a sample comprising immersing a solid support that has a surface comprising a first part that is more hydrophilic than a second part into a target compound solution, wherein the target compound is deposited primarily onto the more hydrophilic part; and/or applying and evaporating the target compound solution onto the substrate to produce the pre-coated substrate. A tissue or other sample may then be placed on the substrate for analysis.
Abstract:
A computer case includes a chassis (70), a cage (10) pivotably engaging with the chassis, a securing member (50) and an intermediate member (30). The cage has a locked position and a unlocked position. The securing member is mounted to the chassis. A receiving portion (57) is formed at the securing member. The intermediate member pivotably connects with the securing member and the cage respectively, and includes a resilient portion (35) corresponding to the receiving portion. When the cage is in the locked position, the resilient portion engages in the receiving portion. When the cage is in the unlocked position, the resilient portion disengages from the receiving portion.
