Abstract: A method for improving the EMI compatibility of the keyboard soft board is disclosed. A low-pass filter is installed on the scan lines of the keyboard soft board to remove high-frequency noise signals produced by the soft board circuit, achieving the EMC requirement. The low-pass filter is formed between the input terminal of the scan line and the touch pad. An inductance is selectively installed and between the touch pads. A capacitance is formed between the touch pad of the scan line and a ground network. The method of forming the capacitance is to form ground pads on the ground network corresponding the scan line touch pads. The method of forming the inductance may be achieved through a reversed U-shaped inductor.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder is combined with an optical machine module, and feeds a document to be scanned into the scanning area so that the optical machine module can capture the image on the document. The automatic document feeder according to the invention is designed so that single-sided and double-sided scanning of a manuscript can be attained. It mainly comprises a delivery route that can feed a manuscript through the scanning area, a return route and guiding-out route respectively connected with the delivery route. The manuscript can come out of the exit to complete single-sided scanning after passing through the scanning area. Or, the manuscript can be turned over to its other side and guided back to the delivery route to pass through the scanning area again to process the second scanning. Finally, the manuscript is guided out of the exit and the double-sided image capture is completed.

Abstract: A rubber ring coupling apparatus for coupling rubber rings with an object includes a ring cartridge and expansion elements. A rubber ring is held in an expansion opening located in the ring cartridge. The expansion elements are disposed into the rubber ring and expanded along expansion slots formed in the ring cartridge. Then the object is inserted into the rubber ring and the expansion elements are withdrawn from the rubber ring to let the rubber ring couple with the object. Thereby assembly labor cost and time may be reduced.

Abstract: A method for activating an illuminator and an illuminating device. The invention uses pins on an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) in a scanner to output pulses of different frequencies. The illuminator has different efficiencies at different frequencies, so the heat generated by the illuminator at the frequencies of inferior efficiency is used to achieve fast warm-up, and the voltage output frequency of the highest light efficiency is provided to the illuminator after warm-up. The illumination device can be designed according to the activation method. It comprises an illuminator, a pulse output unit, a driving unit and a power supply unit. The power supply unit outputs the frequency needed for the warm-up period and the frequency needed for the working period. The driving unit activates the pulse output of the pulse output unit.

Abstract: An automatic releasing hinge enables a device to be turned under an external force, and to be automatically released when the turning angle exceeding a selected limit so that the device may be prevented from damaging when being turned by force beyond the normal range.

Abstract: A double-sided printing device for paper handling is proposed by the invention to allow users to print on both sides of a sheet of paper. The double-sided printing device employs the interaction between the switches, the obstructing unit and the turning unit to allow a sheet of paper to enter the turning unit and be turned over so that its back side will be directed to the printing unit.
