  • Patent number: 9256321
    Abstract: A touch device, a processor and a touch signal accessing method thereof are provided. The touch signal accessing method of the touch device includes the following steps. A current touch point is received. Whether a spatial continuity is smaller than a spatial threshold, and a time continuity is smaller than a time threshold are determined. If the spatial continuity is smaller than the space threshold and the time continuity is smaller than the time threshold, then the current touch point is added to a temporary touch point set and a count value is accumulated. Whether the current touch point is a significance point is determined. If the current touch point is the significance point, a touch point reporting procedure is performed.

  • Publication number: 20130169790
    Abstract: An optical characteristics capturing apparatus includes an adjustable stage for carrying the flexible display, an image capturing device disposed above the adjustable stage, and two first collimated light sources. A part of the flexible display forms a curved surface. An intersection of a receiving optical axis of the image capturing device and the curved surface of the flexible display is an intersection point. The two first collimated light sources project two dot-patterns onto the intersection point along two first optical paths having identical length but different extending directions. An included angle between each of the two first optical paths and the receiving optical axis is an acute angle. The two first optical paths and the receiving optical axis are located in a first virtual plane.

  • Patent number: 8202215
    Abstract: A pharyngeal intubation guiding device includes lengthwise extending tongue-side and palate-side walls that cooperatively define a guiding duct. The tongue-side wall is configured to conform to the rear end of a patient's tongue to permit the guiding duct to confront the opening of the patient's larynx. The palate-side wall has an outer contour which establishes a guideway towards the opening of the patient's esophagus. A lengthwise extending laryngoscope guiding channel and a lengthwise extending endotracheal tube guiding groove are disposed in the guiding duct. A viewing window is disposed to define a terminal end of the laryngoscope guiding channel. The endotracheal tube guiding groove has a lead-in port to permit an endotracheal tube introduced therein to be removable laterally. A lengthwise extending conduit is disposed in the guiding duct to permit an aspirator tube to reach the patient's trachea to suck out phlegm.
