An input device includes a structural frame, a touch pad, a piezoelectric sheet fixed on the touch pad, and a controller electrically connected to the touch pad and the piezoelectric sheet. The touch pad has a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and a touch-sensitive surface that has a button area located at the second side. The touch pad can be elastically deflected to move the second side relative to the structural frame. The piezoelectric sheet generates a voltage when the touch pad is elastically deflected. When determining that a press is performed on the button area and the voltage is larger than or equal to a corresponding predetermined value, the controller sends out a trigger signal. An electronic apparatus with the input device includes a display screen and a processor. The processor receives the trigger signal to control the display screen to display images.

Input device and electronic apparatus therewith

A vibration suppressing apparatus and a vibration suppressing method thereof are provided. The vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, and vibration phase of a vibration suppressing unit are adjusted in real-time according to the vibration amplitude, vibration frequency and vibration phase of a vibration source.

Vibration suppressing apparatus and vibration suppressing method thereof

A portable computer has a base, a platform and a moving assembly. The base has an accommodating space. The platform is movably situated in the accommodating space. The platform has a first position and second position relative to the base. The moving assembly situated in the base has a moving element and a guiding structure. The moving element connects with the platform and moves along the guiding structure within the accommodating space to allow the platform to move between the first position and the second position relative to the base.

Portable computer

A force feedback mechanism disposed inside a casing for vibration balance of the casing is disclosed in the present invention. The force feedback mechanism includes an accelerator, a force generator and a controller. The accelerator detects an acceleration parameter of the casing. The force generator respectively generates an effective force at a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is substantially opposite to the second direction. The controller is electrically connected to the accelerator and the force generator. The controller obtains and analyzes absolute value and vector of the acceleration parameter, and drives the force generator to generate the corresponding effective force according to the absolute value and the vector.
