Abstract: An LED based omni-directional light engine includes a toroidal lens coupled to a controller circuit board and two or more evenly spaced LEDs mounted to the controller circuit board. The toroidal lens includes an inner surface coated with a layer of reflection materials, an outer surface, and a flat base surface. The controller circuit board is electrically coupled to a power source. The LEDs are located immediately under the flat base surface. The inner surface substantially reflects light beams emitted from the LEDs to the outer surface which refracts the beams to the omni-directions.
Abstract: A massager system includes one or more gear trains coupled to a motor to rotate at least a pair of shafts that each supports a pair of nodules for rotation about the associated shaft. A pillow-shaped outer housing surrounds the motor and number of coupled gear trains with the nodules protruding above the outer housing to facilitate contact with a selected bodily region to knead or otherwise stimulate surface skin in a bodily region.
Abstract: The invention teaches a new way to make mesh bags using adhesive labels and continuous mesh tubing. Using adhesive labels on continuous mesh tubing is made possible by guiding the mesh tubing both on the outside of the tubing and the inside of the tubing so that an adhesive label does not stick to the mesh surface on the other side of the mesh tubing. As a result the invention also teaches a new type of mesh bag made with this process and a new machine used for making mesh bags.

Abstract: The invention teaches a semiconductor circuit for driving an LED in which the current passing through the LED is regulated by adjusting the NMOS Rdson using a series of digital signals. The circuit maintains a high current accuracy over wide range of current changes while keeping a low voltage drop.
Abstract: A process for making plastic-lined metallic pipes for conveying liquid or gas includes the steps of heating a metallic pipe evenly to a first temperature; cooling a plastic pipe evenly to a second temperature; inserting the plastic pipe into the metallic pipe to constitute an inner sleeve; drawing the metallic pipe from its two ends; and cooling the sleeved pipe to a storage temperature. The pipe includes a continuous inner plastic sleeve and an outer seamless metallic pipe. The outer diameter of the plastic sleeve is circumferentially melt-bonded to the inner diameter of the outer pipe. The plastic sleeve constitutes an uninterrupted lining for the metallic pipe.
Abstract: The invention teaches a new method to provide lighting for photography and other purposes. A consistent, stable, high intensity line-light source is created by using a cylindrical lens and a line-light source using feedback control. The positioning of the line-light source is adjustable to produce parallel, convergence, and divergence beams depending on the desired lighting characteristics. The invention also teaches a new apparatus using the current invention.
Abstract: A connector used for connecting the plastic metallic pipe includes a body, a cap, and three washers. The body has a section of thread in its outer wall for coupling with the cap which has a section thread in its inner wall. In operation, first insert the pipe into the cap, then insert the rubber washer, the metallic washer, and spring washer into the body, and then screw the cap into the body, such that the pipe is locked with the body.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a technology for decomposing prose elements in document processing. Grammar analysis of complex sentences can identify main clause, embedded clauses, phrases and cohesive ties that link the embedded clauses to the main clause. Cohesive ties are stripped down and a weighted punctuation for segmentation is applied to decompose complex sentences into simple sentences.
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for providing cross language advertising service over the Internet. In one preferred embodiment, while a user is performing a cross language search on the Internet, she receives the search results and concurrently receives one or more advertisements in her input language which are relevant to her input. In another preferred embodiment, while a user is requesting a real-time translation or annotation service on the Internet, she receives the requested translation or annotation and concurrently receives one or more advertisements in the annotation language which are relevant to her input.
Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for translingually searching a piece of information from an electronic document, a website or the Internet. The system first dialectally standardizes the primary query in the input language entered by the user and then translates the standardized query into an optimized search string in the target document language. Using the translated query, the system performs a search and highlights each matching object with an annotation callout or bubble to assist the user to navigate through the search results.
