  • Publication number: 20080140307
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for entering an address for a navigation system allows a user to easily and quickly select a key indicating the next character of the address. At the start of operation, the navigation system shows a full alpha-numeric keyboard. Once the next candidate characters are narrowed down to a certain degree, the navigation system shows a simplified keyboard with a limited number of keys on the monitor screen and highlights the next candidate characters on the simplified keyboard. The navigation system displays both the simplified keyboard and a street name list on the same screen. Since the keys of the limited number are arranged within a small space such as in the three-by-three manner, the user can easily point a cursor or other pointing device to the desired key.

  • Publication number: 20070076737
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for low latency transport of signals. In some embodiments a method may include providing a buffer controller between two consecutive signal transmission processes between a host and a client to synchronize a write from a first of the two consecutive signal transmission processes and a read to a second of the of the two consecutive signal transmission processes, wherein the buffer controller includes a first buffer, a second buffer, and a first status list and a second status list that each provide an association status of the first buffer and the second buffer.

  • Publication number: 20070027668
    Abstract: A signal simulator is adapted for use with a computerized apparatus having a user input device that generates user input signals upon operation of the user input device, and includes a storage unit for storing program code data associated with target user input signals of the user input device. An interface unit is adapted to establish a data transmission path with the computerized apparatus. A control unit is connected electrically to the storage unit and the interface unit, and is operable so as to generate a string of simulated user input signals corresponding to the program code data in the storage unit and so as to provide the simulated user input signals to the computerized apparatus via the interface unit, thereby enabling the computerized apparatus to make a response corresponding to the target user input signals.

  • Patent number: 6970309
    Abstract: A color wheel includes a carrier element, a filter group, and a connection component. The carrier element includes a first carrier, and a second carrier. The carrier element rotates around the central axial line. The first carrier has at least one aperture. The filter group has a transparent zone and a filter bonding zone. The filter group and the carrier element share the central axial line. The filter bonding zone has at least one concave zone. The combining component is simultaneously in the apertures of the first carrier and the filter bonding zone to fix the filter bonding zone of the filter group between the first carrier and the second carrier.

  • Publication number: 20050098709
    Abstract: An image sensor package includes plural lower metal sheets, plural upper metal sheets stacked on the lower metal sheets, and an encapsulant for encapsulating the lower and upper metal sheets. Wherein the upper metal sheets are shorter than that of the lower metal sheets, so the upper surface of the lower metal sheets are exposed from the encapsulant. A photosensitive chip arranged within the chamber, plural wires are for electrically connecting the chip to the upper surfaces of the lower metal sheets, and a transparent layer arranged on the frame layer to cover the chip.

  • Publication number: 20040233279
    Abstract: A color wheel comprises a carrier element, a filter group, and a connection component. The carrier element includes a central bearing, a first carrier, and a second carrier. The carrier element rotates around the central bearing. The first carrier has at least one aperture. The filter group has a transparent zone and a filter bonding zone. The filter group and the carrier element share the central bearing. The filter bonding zone has at least one concave zone. The combining component is simultaneously in the apertures of the first carrier and the filter bonding zone to fix the filter bonding zone of the filter group between the first carrier and the second carrier.

  • Publication number: 20040045132
    Abstract: An ergonomic handle is provided for a bicycle. The ergonomic handle includes a cross member to be mounted on the front fork of the bicycle, two bent members each extending from one of two opposite ends of the cross member and two curved members each extending from one of the bent members and including a grip portion near its free end. The grip portion of each of the curved members includes a convex upper side. The ergonomic handle is made of a compound material. The grip portion of each of the curved members includes a convex upper side for intimate contact with the palm of the rider's hand. The grip portion of each of the curved members includes a planar face formed on the lower side for increasing an area for contact with the fingers of the rider's hand. The planar face extends in a longitudinal direction of the grip portion.
