  • Patent number: 6976423
    Abstract: A printing device for seamless printing on a cloth is provided. A design is transferred from a print medium to the cloth. The device includes a print cylinder and a heater heating the print cylinder. The print medium is wrapped around the print cylinder, and the cloth is wrapped around the print medium. The heating of the print cylinder transfers the design to the cloth. The cloth is also seamless. The transfer of the design is done by sublimation of dye, which forms the design, induced by heating of the print cylinder. The print medium is a sublimation paper. An optional cylindrical cover is also provided. The cylindrical cover is placed around the print cylinder, and the print medium and the cloth are wrapped around the cylindrical cover.

  • Patent number: 6970284
    Abstract: A variable focal length lens comprising micromirrors with one degree of freedom rotation is invented. The lens consists of many micromirrors and actuating components. The array of micromirrors with one degree of freedom rotation makes all lights scattered from one point of an object converge at one point of image plane by using rotation of micromirror. The micromirror has the same function as a mirror. Therefore, the reflective surface of the micromirror is made of metal, metal compound, multi-layered dielectric material, or other materials with high reflectivity. The actuating components control the rotational displacements of micromirrors electrostatically and/or electromagnetically. The optical efficiency of the micromirror array lens is increased by locating a mechanical structure upholding micromirrors and the actuating components under micromirrors. The known CMOS technologies can remove the loss in effective reflective area due to electrode pads and wires.

  • Patent number: 6965097
    Abstract: A control device for an infrared ray sauna facility is provided. The sauna facility has a chamber and the chamber has a door and infrared ray generating units, and the control device includes a control circuit, an inside control panel that is connected to the control circuit and is installed inside the chamber, and an outside control panel that is connected to the control circuit and is installed outside the chamber. The control circuit controls the infrared ray generating units to adjust the temperature of the sauna facility. Each of the inside control panel and outside control panel includes a display device and an input device. The control circuit includes a clock so that a user of the sauna facility can reserve time to use the sauna facility. The control device also includes a temperature sensor so that the control circuit performs feedback control of the temperature.

  • Patent number: 6964487
    Abstract: An image display device includes a case having an opening, a luminous source image display displaying a first image, a focusing element receiving light from the source image display and focusing the light to form a second image that is viewable through the opening of the case, and an image source providing image information to the source image display so that the source image display displays the first image. The focusing element has a concave mirror and a mirror supporter that supports the concave mirror. The perimeter of the concave mirror has at least one straight- cut portion that has a line contact with the mirror supporter. The image information provided by the image source is changed with user interaction.

  • Patent number: 6959783
    Abstract: A figure eight descender for rappelling with a rope includes a first loop, a second loop, a neck connecting the first loop and the second loop, and a clip attached on the neck. The clip surrounds the rope so that the clip contains the rope between the first loop and the second loop, preventing the rope from sliding over the first loop or the second loop. The clip has a U-shaped body, and the body has a first end and a second end. The first end is supported by a hinge provided on the neck so that the body can pivot around the hinge, and the clip is spring-biased so that the second end is forced toward the neck.
