US Classification:

361692, 361681, 361683, 3122231, 349 58

Abstract:

The present invention provides a durable, reliable, and ergonomic computing system that is highly customizable and ungradable. Product flexibility and ease of customization is provided by the ability to employ a wide range of peripherals and accessories. In one embodiment, a docking unit is provided that provides additional functionality and flexibility. Flexibility is further enhanced by a CPU upgrade path as well as easily ungradable main system memory and hard disk drive. In one embodiment, a T-shaped main logic board (MLB) is provided as is a method of positioning or arranging the internal components of a portable computer by employing the same. In this manner, the size and number of components that may be housed internally within the computer are greater than would be possible with a conventional generally rectangular main logic board. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a shock mounting system for a portable computer having a flat panel display, comprising a shock absorbing member encasing the perimeter of the flat panel display and a metal, e. g. , magnesium alloy, frame mounted within the interior compartment retaining the shock absorbing member.

Abstract:

A blow gun with an extensible wand includes a barrel for receiving and storing the wand. The wand passes through an inner collar and an outer collar, the inner collar mounted to the barrel and the outer collar eccentrically rotatable upon the inner collar. Rotation of the outer collar affects alignment of the bore of the outer collar with the bore of the inner collar. When the misalignment of the bores is increased, the wand is locked in a selected extension from the barrel.
