Abstract: An inductive module includes an electrically insulating basic substrate unit having opposite first and second trace-forming sides, a ferromagnetic core unit embedded in the basic substrate unit and having horizontal sides substantially parallel to and respectively spaced apart from the first and second trace-forming sides, and a coil unit. The coil unit includes first and second conductive vias respectively formed in the basic substrate unit adjacent to vertical sides of the core unit, and respectively spaced apart from the vertical sides, and first and second conductive traces, each of which is disposed on a corresponding one of the first and second trace-forming sides, and interconnects electrically a corresponding pair of the first and second conductive vias. The conductive traces and the conductive vias of the coil unit cooperate to form an electric current path that substantially winds around the core unit.

Abstract: A projector includes a housing, an optical unit, and a heat transfer module. The housing is made of a material with high thermal conductivity having a window. The optical unit is accommodated in the housing and further includes a light source, a panel, and a projection lens. The light source provides a light. The panel modulates the light. The projection lens projects the modulated light to leave the window. The heat transfer module is accommodated in the housing and connected the optical unit and the housing to transfer heat from the optical unit to the housing. Particularly, the projector is a cooling-fan saved projector. In addition, the projector further comprises a computer card adapter and a computer card inserted into the computer card adapter.

Abstract: A head-mounted display apparatus for a first external video source and a second external video source includes a support, an optical unit, a receiver, and a micro controller. The support is to be worn on a user's head. The optical unit displays video for the user. The receiver selectively receives video signals provided from the first external video source or the second external video source. The micro controller is electrically connected to the receiver for processing the signal to control the optical unit to display the video.

Abstract: A computer peripheral operating event responding method and system is proposed, which is designed for use in conjunction with a computer platform for providing a peripheral operating events responding function, and which is more advantageous to use than prior art particularly in that it can be implemented without utilizing keyboard scan code and IRQ/PCI interrupt signals to provide the peripheral operating events responding function and is capable of responding to both on-keyboard peripheral operating events (such as hot-key pressing events) and off-keyboard peripheral operating events (such as docking station engaging/disengaging event and multi-bay CD-ROM hot-plug event), thus representing a highly integrated and efficient solution for computer peripheral operating event responding functionality.

Abstract: Polymers bearing metal chelating groups are readily prepared from easily accessible precursors. The polymers are readily converted to the corresponding metal chelates. The polymers can also include an energy absorbing moiety for use in matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The polymer can also include a photo-curable group, which can be used to form cross-links within the bulk polymer or between the polymer and a surface functionalized with a polymerizable moiety. The polymers are incorporated into devices of use for the analysis, capture, separation, or purification of an analyte. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention provides a substrate coated with a polymer of the invention, the substrate being adapted for use as a probe for a mass spectrometer.
