  • Voice coil driving auto-focus lens module
    Patent number: 7612957
    Abstract: A voice coil driving auto-focus lens module is disclosed. The voice coil driving auto-focus lens module includes a base, two conductive plates, an insulation spacer, four permanent magnets, a lens holder, an optical lens, a spring set, a coil, and a top cover. The lens holder, the optical lens and the coil form a lens set that moves synchronously while the permanent magnets are fixed on an outer circle of a leaf spring. The spring set includes a coil spring and a leaf spring. By resultant spring force due to extension or compression of the coil spring as well as the leaf spring, together with the electromagnetic force, the lens module moves fast, focuses stably and the tilt of the lens module is reduced.

  • Electrophoresis device, method of driving electrophoresis device, and electronic apparatus
    Patent number: 7612760
    Abstract: An electrophoresis device includes a pair of substrates, a plurality of pixel electrodes, and a common electrode formed on the pair of substrates, a liquid material formed by dispersing charged particles sealed between the pair of substrates and a driving circuit for applying a voltage to the pixel electrodes and the common electrode to generate an electric field therebetween. When display image is changed, the driving circuit generates a first electric field between all the pixel electrodes and the common electrode to delete the image displayed by that time over the entire display region. Then, when new display image is written, the driving circuit generates a second electric field between the pixel electrodes corresponding to display and the common electrode, and generates a third electric field between the common electrode and the pixel electrodes not corresponding to display.

  • ACYLTRANSFERASES FOR ALTERATION OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS AND OIL CONTENT IN OLEAGINOUS YEASTS
    Publication number: 20090269828
    Abstract: Two acyltransferases are provided, suitable for use in the manufacture of microbial oils enriched in omega fatty acids in oleaginous yeast (e.g., Yarrowia lipolytica). Specifically, the genes encoding phophatidylcholine-diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT2) have been isolated from Y. lipolytica. These genes encode enzymes that participate in the terminal step in oil biosynthesis in yeast. Each is expected to play a key role in altering the quantity of polyunsaturated fatty acids produced in oils of oleaginous yeasts.
