Abstract: A camera module includes a substrate, an image sensor chip, a lens module and a number of passive components. The substrate includes a supporting surface. The image sensor chip is supported by the supporting surface, and electrically connected to the substrate. The lens module is positioned on the supporting surface with the image sensor chip being received in the lens module. The passive components are positioned on the supporting surface and mechanically and electrically connected to the substrate. The passive components are all located outside the lens module.

Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a first and a second storage modules. The first storage module stores a plurality of display images, layout data and resource files corresponding to different display states. The second storage module stores the plurality of layout data and resources files read from the first storage module when the mobile terminal is powered on. If the module terminal has been reoriented, the mobile terminal determines if a current image needs to be changed and generates an interface change event if the current image needs to be changed. Then, the mobile terminal reads corresponding layout data and resource file from the second storage module, reads a corresponding display image from the first storage module according to the read resource file, generates a redraw command, and sends the redraw command and the read layout data and the read display image to a display module to display a new image.

Abstract: A fastening device includes a cover, an actuating member rotatably attached on the cover, and a locking member disposed on the cover and engaging with the actuating member. The cover includes a hook capable of being locked and unlocked on an electronic device, and defines a through hole near the hook and the actuating member capable of rotating around a rotating center. The actuating member is locked on the cover while being pushed. The locking member including a locking portion capable of passing through the through hole and inserting into the electronic device to lock the hook on the electronic device and withdrawing from the through hole when the actuating member is pushed to rotate.

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying and controlling an OSD menu in an image display device includes a key input unit (10), a control unit (11), an OSD menu generation unit (12), a storage unit (13), an image signal output unit (14), a pre-amplifier (15), an image output unit (16), and a liquid crystal display (LCD) (17). The key input unit is for outputting a command signal for displaying and controlling function control targets in the OSD menu. The control unit is for determining whether to move and adjust the function control targets. The OSD menu generation unit is for outputting OSD image signals. The image signal output unit is for outputting image signals. The pre-amplifier is for converting the image signals and the OSD image signals. The image output unit is for amplifying and outputting the converted signals. The LCD is for displaying the converted signals from the image output unit.

Abstract: According to the invention, techniques for visualizing customer data contained in databases, data marts and data warehouses. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention provides a method for graphically analyzing relationships in data from one or more data sources of an enterprise. The method can be used with many popular visualization tools, such as On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools and the like. The method is especially useful in conjunction with a meta-model based technique for modeling the enterprise data. The enterprise is typically a business activity, but can also be other loci of human activity. Embodiments according to the invention can display data from a variety of sources in order to provide visual representations of data in a data warehousing environment.
