Provided is a method for protecting a thermal sensitive component mounted on a board during a thermal process. The method includes: providing the board, providing a protection apparatus which is removable and made of a thermoelectric material to protect the thermal sensitive component during the thermal process, wherein the protection apparatus cools the thermal sensitive component during the thermal process in response to applying a voltage to the protection apparatus. Further provided is the protection apparatus for the thermal sensitive component mounted on the board during the thermal process.

Protecting a thermal sensitive component in a thermal process

An improved mouse structure has a cover and a base pivotally connected to the cover. The cover is an elliptically curved shell with two ends, and has a pivoting portion extending downwardly from one of the ends thereof as well as a hook formed on another end thereof. The base comprises a receiving portion formed on an end thereof for receiving the pivoting portion, an engaging seat formed on another end thereof, and an engaging hole formed in the engaging seat for engaging with the hook.

A power off method for a wireless device is proposed. A battery is installed in the wireless device as the power supply. When the power source is connected to the wireless device, an identification process is conducted between the wireless device and the wireless receiver connected to a computer. After the completion of successful identification process, the control chip within the wireless device stores a set of ID code that can be identified by the wireless receiver. In order to prevent wireless devices from being inadvertently reactivated, these devices are usually turned off during traveling. The present invention provides a power off method that terminates power to all parts of the wireless device except the control chip by a certain operation on the connect button. Therefore, an individual power switch is not required while the device can be turned off, and resume the normal operation on the next power on.

Power off method for wireless peripheral device

A battery charger and receiver arrangement is constructed to include a battery charger adapted for charging the battery of a wireless signal source, the battery charger having a cable for connection to a computer and an electric female connector, and a detachable receiver adapted for receiving signal from the wireless signal source to be charged by the battery charger and transmitting received signal to the computer through the cable of the battery charger, the receiver having an electric male connector connectable to the electric female connector of the battery charger for transmission of signal to the computer through the cable of the battery charger.
