  • Publication number: 20120223915
    Abstract: A touch module disposed on a display panel of a touch display is provided. The touch module includes a glass substrate, a polymer layer, a lateral-side light sensor and a vertical-side light sensor. The polymer layer is transparent and flexible. The lateral-side and the vertical-side light sensors are sandwiched between the glass substrate and the polymer layer, and disposed on a lateral edge and a vertical edge of the substrate. A transparent transmission layer is formed between the glass substrate and the polymer layer. When a touch event is triggered on the polymer layer, the backlight corresponding to the touch point is transformed into a side-oriented backlight, which is transmitted in the transparent transmission layer and captured by the lateral-side and the vertical-side light sensor.

  • Publication number: 20080194907
    Abstract: A massaging device for a sexual purpose includes main body, a sliding unit movably mounted on the main body linearly and reciprocally, a reciprocating mechanism mounted in the main body and connected to the sliding unit to drive the sliding unit reciprocally, and a power source mounted in the main body and connected to the reciprocating mechanism to drive the reciprocating mechanism. Thus, the sliding unit is movable on the housing of the main body linearly and reciprocally to massage a human sexual organ automatically and to provide a comfortable sensation to the human sexual organ so as to satisfy the sexual requirement.

  • Patent number: 6136208
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a planar microprobe and method of manufacturing the same. The present invention utilizes semiconductor process technologies that includes electroplating technology and sacrificial layer technology to integrate constituent elements on a silicon wafer having an insulator layer. The planar microprobe comprises: an upper cantilever beam including a first electrode; a supporting pad coupled to the upper cantilever beam; and a lower cantilever beam coupled to the supporting pad, situated below the upper cantilever beam and spaced by a distance from the upper cantilever beam. Besides, the lower cantilever beam comprises: a second electrode in cooperation with the first electrode to control a vertical displacement of the lower cantilever beam by applying an external voltage thereto. A tip is coupled to the second electrode. The microprobe is manufactured by depositing a photoresist sacrificial layer on a lower cantilever beam. Metal is electroplated to form an upper cantilever beam.

  • Patent number: 6045472
    Abstract: A multistage sprocket assembly for a bicycle comprises at least one larger sprocket and at least one smaller sprocket, in which both side surfaces of the larger sprocket are trimmed off at the positions corresponding to two downshifting paths and two upshifting paths designed for a drive chain when being shifted from the smaller sprocket to the larger sprocket or vice versa. The trim portion is large and deep enough to avoid any interference between the link plates of the chain and the larger sprocket, and to receive therein the link plates of the chain so as to provide a positioning function thereat during the chain shifting process.
