  • ELECTRONIC READING APPARATUS AND THE DATA SECURITY METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20110296530
    Abstract: Present invention relates to an electronic reading apparatus with data security and anti-theft functions. The electronic reader apparatus has a code input unit for receiving a security code, and a code determining unit for determining an authenticity of the security code. When no security code, no authentic security code or even no operational signal has been received during the predetermined periods of time, a central control unit may stop a power supply unit from outputting power in order to turn off the electronic reader apparatus and clear the image shown on a display unit. As such, a content of sensitive or confidential data stored in the electronic reading apparatus may not be intruded.

  • Method and device for placing thin material layers onto a relief mould
    Patent number: 8066929
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for placing at least one material layer onto a relief mold for producing a composite material. Thereby, an elastically-reversibly deformable body with a surface relief that is designed to correspond to the relief mold is pressed against the material layer, as a result of which the surface of said body is deformed, and the material layer can be picked up. As a result of its elastically-reversible characteristics the body subsequently deforms back to its initial state so that the material layer can easily be placed onto the relief mold.

  • Integrated circuit package, notably for image sensor, and method of positioning
    Patent number: 8067842
    Abstract: The invention relates to the fabrication of integrated circuits in general, and notably the circuits of image sensors intended to form the electronic core of photographic apparatus or cameras. The chip is first aligned with respect to the package and then the package is aligned with respect to the optical system. The alignment of the chip with respect to the package is done optically. The alignment of the package with respect to the system is done mechanically with respect to the edges of the package. According to the invention, provision is made for optical marks to be provided on the package, these marks each having an edge aligned with a lateral edge of the package, so as to minimize the positioning errors which would be due to inaccurate positioning of the chip with respect to the edges of the package.
