  • Publication number: 20180242684
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a foot protection device includes a pressure sensing layer, a deformation layer, and a control module. The pressure sensing layer is configured to measure pressure value between a wearer's foot and the pressure sensing layer. The control module is electrically connected with the pressure sensing layer and the deformation layer to receive a pressure values obtained by the pressure sensing layer and control thickness of each area of the deformation layer according to the pressure value.

  • Patent number: 8533935
    Abstract: An auxiliary tool, for assembling a number of voice coil motors, includes a number of trays, a rod member, and two limiting members. Each of the trays includes a main portion and a plurality of support arms extending away from the main portion. The main portion includes a top surface and a bottom surface. The support arms and the main portion cooperatively define two receiving spaces respectively on the top surface and the bottom surface. Each voice coil motor is received in two receiving spaces of two neighboring trays and clamped by the two neighboring trays. The rod member passes through trays and the voice coil motors. The two limiting members are sleeved over the rod member at two ends of the rod member. The trays and the voice coil motors are limited between the two limiting members.

  • Publication number: 20130148011
    Abstract: A voice coil motor includes a fixing assembly and a piston assembly movably received in the fixing assembly. The fixing assembly includes a fixing frame and one or more magnetic members positioned on the fixing frame. The piston assembly includes a lens and a coil sleeved on the lens. The coil and the lens cooperatively define a receiving groove. The fixing frame forms one or more resisting portions. The fixing frame sleeves on the lens with the resisting portions engaging in the receiving groove, such that the coil together with the lens is capable of moving along the at least one resisting portion utilizing the magnetic force generated by the magnetic members.
