  • ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20140104513
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an electronic apparatus having an active region and a peripheral region surrounding the active region is described. A first main device and a second main device are provided. An optical clear liquid adhesive (OCLA) is applied between the first main device and the second main device and within the active region. A photo-mask having a transparent region and an opaque region is provided above the second main device, and the transparent region corresponds to the peripheral region. An OCLA diffusion process is performed such that the OCLA diffuses from the active region to the peripheral region. During the OCLA diffusion process, a first irradiating process with the photo-mask is performed, such that the OCLA diffusing to the peripheral region is partially cured. After removing the photo-mask, a second irradiating process is performed, such that the OCLA is completely cured.

  • Shopping search engines
    Patent number: 8700592
    Abstract: A web search system uses humans to rank the relevance of results returned for various sample search queries. The search results may be divided into groups allowing training and validation with the ranked results. Consistent guidelines for human evaluation allow consistent results across a number of people performing the ranking. After a machine learning categorization tool, such as MART, has been programmed and validated, it may be used to provide an absolute rank of relevance for documents returned, rather than a simple relative ranking, based, for example, on key word matches and click counts. Documents with lower relevance rankings may be excluded from consideration when developing related refinements, such as category and price sorting.

  • Plunger type water pump
    Patent number: 8696337
    Abstract: A plunger type water pump mainly comprises a cavity body, a rotary main shaft and a plunger flow-distributing unit. The plunger flow-distributing unit comprises a flat valve assembly, a plunger-shoe assembly and a supporting valve assembly. The plunger-shoe assembly divides the cavity body into a high-pressure cavity and a low-pressure cavity independent of each other. The high-pressure cavity is in fluid communication with the flat valve assembly; and the low-pressure cavity is in fluid communication with the supporting valve assembly. The high-pressure water and the low-pressure water are independent of each other. This arrangement ensures a high volumetric efficiency of the water pump under ultra-high-pressure conditions and provides fluid support and lubrication for a friction coupling under high-speed heavy-load conditions to prolong the service life of the water pump.

  • Anti-slip spike structure
    Patent number: 8695234
    Abstract: An improved anti-slip spike structure is provided, which is used in soles of snow shoes or special anti-slip shoes. In this structure, an anti-slip spike is mainly arranged on a sole surface. An external side of a metal spike body is wrapped with a hard rubber body into a solid cylindrical rod-shaped rubber spike. Then, the solid cylindrical rod-shaped rubber spike is placed into a shaping module to be integrally formed with a rubber sole. Since the rubber spike is entirely wrapped and has a large placement plane, it is easy to position the rubber spike in a mold. In addition, when the rubber spike is pressed to be shaped, the spike does not skew or shift and is homogeneously shaped with the rubber, so that the spike is completely joined to the sole. In this way, the sole is provided with comfort and flexibility, as well as firm joining against trampling and significant anti-slip safety and practicability.
