Description

Title of Invention - SPEEDBALL

Field of Invention

The present invention relates to the usage of desktop electronic and electrical equipments. The equipment emphasized as the example is the desktop electronic device call notebook or laptop. Although a wide range of other desktop equipment such as printers, scanners, small photo copying machine, DVD players, speakers, mini amplifier, tuner, turntable call DVD players, LD players can also be installed with the innovative new device. But more particularly, the invention concerns desktop apparatus such as portable notebook.

Description of the related Art

Today's notebook is constantly subjected to constant accelerated wear and tear from placement knock which shorten its life span faster than expected. Peripherals and electronic and electrical components inside notebook becomes loose and breakdown more frequently than we want it to be. The wear and tear increases and become more frequent depending on the handling pattern of the user.

Current notebook user also experience rigid usage pattern which result in a user having wrists, hands, shoulders, and back ache. When use over a long period of time, a notebook user experience fatigue and discomfort and does not enjoy long usage of the notebook. With notebook installation, notebook user can experience long uninterrupted usage of the notebook without the risk of the wrists, hands, shoulders, and backache the notebook user experience today. The desktop worker now can experience a longer and enjoyable work environment.

Another concern of today's notebook is the heat displacement effect. Notebook becomes overheated over a long period of time and therefore experience slower microprocessor and peripheral performances. Over a long period of using the notebook, the underside of the notebook developed a hotspot on desktop surfaces that acts as a catalyst which retains and increases the heat retention under the notebook. Installing the innovative new device removes that hotspot from existing and prevents the catalyst effect (Figure 4)

Other problem that a notebook experience is using the notebook at outdoor environment such as placing it firmly rested on uneven wet, dirty and uneven surfaces. Now notebook cannot be placed on uneven surfaces becomes wobbly and make typing very difficult. Many times, it may hurt the under side of the notebook when contact with water and dirt (Figure 2).

Notebook are subjected to constant wear and tear is cause by the constant placement knock and bump it time it is taken from one desktop to another. By removing the fingers from under the notebook each time it is moved, the notebook drops an inch to the desktop and from an inclined degree from the front of the notebook. This repeated knock and bump is repeated at least 10 limes a day and thousand of times a year. Hard disk and electronic and electrical parts and components are being expose to constant hard shake vibration call the placement knock will be damaged and fail to work probably with placement knock stretch over a period of time (Figure 2).

The constant placement knock it receive which reduces its life span further plus loss increasing the amount of loose electronic parts. Plus it is very rigid and difficult to move it from and the only way to do so is to lift it up and place it again another placement knock and bump to further loosen the parts. Another problem is the difficulty to lift up the notebook which adds to the problem. Another problem is that notebook tends to get dirty and wet from the places it is use on. Moreover, it can only be place on totally flat surfaces which limits the use of notebook.

Current notebook screen is too low for a work desk person. Comparing a relative distance between the notebook flat keyboard and its screen, the notebook user hand position results in wrists, hands, and shoulders ache. The eyes position in an inclined downwards view creates stiff neck and back ache (Figure 14).

The notebook screen should be placed directly in front of you and facing you, not angled to the left or right or too down or too top. This helps to eliminate too much neck twisting. The new invention raises the center of the monitor towards the eye horizontal eye line of the notebook user. When you are seated comfortably, a user's eyes should be in line with a point on the screen about 2-3" below the top of the screen casing. If the screen is too, the user will crane their neck forwards, if it's too high they'll tilt their head backwards and end up with neck/shoulder pain. The raising of the notebooks screen straightens the neck slightly to prevent back ache from back bone crouching posture. (Figure 14)

Conventional notebook keyboard are also flat as in parallel to the desktop. As a result, the wrists of a notebook user is force to bend downwards to type while the best angle natural and comfortable to the wrist is at an inclined angle of 9-12 degree to provide a straight wrist typing contact on keyboard with the elbows resting on the edge of the desktop. (Figure 13)

Usually, to make a comfortable push pull ergonomic keyboard work, the work surface should be higher than elbow height. (Figure 13) Sliding ergonomic encourages variety and movement rather than an exact posture while typing. Conventional wisdom for keyboard distance is that it should be approximately at the front of the work surface. Sliding ergonomic allows the user to slide the notebook to another most comfortable position at regular interval.

There's nothing wrong with pushing the keyboard back and forth farther if the forearms are supported for a better position. (Figure 9) Sliding also pull and push the notebook screen to prevent glare and provides best position clear screen viewing without twisting and straining the neck muscles. It's a good idea to periodically check and slide the notebook to a achieve a maximum body comfort while in the sitting position from time to time to relax the wrists, hands, shoulders, neck, and back muscles.

Any new body sitting adjustments from time to time will create a relaxing and enjoyable working environment. Without the sliding feature of the notebook, the work desk notebook user will be in a difficult and the body and chairs will encounter constant adjusted and altered in a difficult and odd ward way to relax. (Figure 15) Placement Knock

Knock placement is established to be the force that damage notebook when it is placed when move from one desktop to another. A general investigation shows that knock placement when present each and every tfme a notebook is placed on desktop over a period of time does have significant impact on the notebook performance and cause physical notebook damage. The installation of has also show that the knock placement can be completely removed by installing notebook which protects the notebook from the accelerated wear and tear from repeated placement knock. The notebook microprocessor, peripheral and electronic components also experience improvement in performance and shelf life.

Knock placement is routinely suffered by the notebook when the fingers are removed from under the notebook when place on a desktop. The intensity of the impact increases when the notebook is scooted on the fly for urgent presentation and meeting. It is a not uncommon to see notebooks being knocked and dropped hard on desktop during such gathering (Figure 2 and Figure 6).

The 'knock placement' is measured to be 15mm finger gap from the desktop to the underside of the notebook nears the innovative new device installation location. Continuous knock placement cause critical components in the printed circuit board and notebook peripherals such as the hard disk to become loose and less resistance over time. The damage becomes exponential and increases the chance of functional failure and lost of important data.

The innovative new device installation creates a finger fitting gap that completely removed the frequent knock placement by providing a safe and full placement of the notebook on the desktop or floor. Any impact left upon the full placement is quickly displaced by innovative new device tension material.

Further test was done physical by actually placing the three notebooks on desktop 5-10 times each to experience how a notebook user will feel about the knock placement effect (Figure 2).

Drag Feature

Drag feature is the important sliding feature which allows notebook to rotating for notebook storage and screen sharing. By allowing the notebook to rotate about on the desktop freely and easily without scratching, notebook users can share notebook presentation information with others and keep the notebook away at a corner of the desktop to create additional writing space. The innovative new device transforms an immobile desktop notebook to one with great sliding and rotating feature and benefit (Figure 8).

The sliding feature test was done by dragging the innovative new device installed notebook over various surfaces such as wood desktop, lacquered wood desktop, glass desktop, and plastic desktop- Other tests was also done on various floor surfaces such as parquet flooring, marble flooring, tile flooring, and carpet flooring, and cemented flooring. The descriptive measurement grades scale are describe as effortless, easy, cushy, and gentle. Effortless grade would describe a very comfortable slide. Easy grade would be an easy with little effect. Cushy grade would be a slide with cushioned feeling like sliding on a cushion. Gentle grade would describe sliding with slight weight resistance. The round design of the innovative new device allows the notebook to be slide in any direction (Figure 3).

The drag test is done in repeated circular turning motion with the innovative new device installed notebook from the left sideward motion, then extending the arms forward, then moving towards the right forward motion, and contracting the arms frqm the right side towards the original position. The circular motion is shown in Figure 3. This cycle is done 20 times for a each type of surface by holding the notebook at the front with both hands (Figure 3).

In addition to the benefit and improvement of the desktop ergonomic, the drag feature increases the mount of hot air exchange under the notebook when the notebook move about the desktop. This increase further reduces the temperature of the computer microprocessor and other chips set found in the notebook to further increase the performance of the notebook (Figure 7,8, and 9).

Another great improvement and benefit of the drag feature is that the notebook now has a great new phenomena call the slighting placement effect which greatly reduces the landing impact of notebook on hard desktop each and every time it is move from one pale to another about 2000 times a year. The hard landing reduces notebook performance and cause software problem to hard disk and hardwire problem to microprocessor and other sensitive electronic components in notebook (Figure 2).

Heat Displacement

The heat displacement is another of key feature of the innovation new device. Heat displacement has been found to exist and varied in two environments, enclosed space air-conditioned and open space environment. The enclosed environment room is air conditioned to a temperature of 25 degree Celsius and the unenclosed environment open space is an unenclosed shaded space with no direct sunlight with some air movement which a typical person would like to sit in the open. The period of the test is set at four hours to simulate the average time a typical person would spend working on a notebook with application software between meal breaks.

The three notebooks were tested under two environments and for each environment with the innovative new installed and without installation. The total number of hours of test for all three notebooks is 48 hours with sufficient time for cooling between each test. For every environment, the results are tabulated and a graph is plotted to measure the hour of delta difference in heat displacement (Figure 16)

For the purpose of the test, the definition of an open space is an area with no obstruction, with slight air movement and not be directly under the sun. It is likely to be at a sheltered back yard, at the front pouch, or on a bench at a building's common walkway. Throughout the test, a Fluke 189 True Multi-meter was used and the thermal sensor was placed at the under center of the notebook where the heat is generated. The same environment is also used for all the three notebooks (Figure 4). Summary of the Invention

The notebook was tested to simulate continuous 4 hours active operation each time to reach temperature constant. Straight line graphs of the data were then drawn and the delta temperature was determined in the thermal test. From studying the degree of gradient and time to reach temperature constant, the heat built up was found to peak during the third hour and stabilizes to a small temperature tolerance. The delta temperature determine at that time suggest that the innovative new device installation consistently give a significant heat displacement, up to a 12 degree Celsius for some notebook,

The drag test simulates notebook movement on various surfaces and consistently shows easy desktop handling, especially for the purpose of notebook storage and presentation. Besides those benefits, the constant sliding movement improves air circulation which further cools the notebook by increasing the airflow under the notebook (Figure 7, 8, and 9). The innovative new device is most effective when used outdoor.

By the calculation and physical test usage, the innovative new device is found to prevent unnecessary force on the notebook (Figure 6). This is done by completely removing the routine knocks on notebooks each and every time they are placed on desktop. The knock placement test found that the 15mm finger gap created by installing the innovative new device provides the firm grip needed to remove the frequent knocks (Figure 2).

The finger gap further prevents hotspot from building up (hotspot are retain heat collected over time on desktop surface from the direct contact to the under side of the notebook). Hot spot when build up becomes catalyst further promote and increase heat retention. Knock displacement effect is also found to be directly proportional to the weight and size of notebooks.

In conclusion, extended aggregate heat built up and unnecessary knock force on the notebook over a long period of time reduces notebook performance efficiency and shortens notebook effective life span. The innovative new device addresses these problems directly to improve notebook performance efficiency and extend notebook productive life span by reducing performance deterioration and improving heat displacement which optimizes notebook life.

The innovative new device is an assembly of a few manufactured parts. Some examples are plastic, metal, rubber, fastener and adhesive. The new device is designed to be use on desktop and smooth types of floor surfaces like marble, parquet, and ceramic tiles. Because of the properties and features build in the design like easy storage and gentle handling, the new device can also be used on desktop electronic equipment such as LCD projectors, speakers, and hi-fi equipment (Figure 11 and 12).
