Abstract: The structured light imaging device includes a projector including a diffractive optical element, an image sensor, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to control the projector to emit a beam having a special pattern, and alter an amplitude of the beam during a sensing period. The image sensor is configured to capture an image corresponding to the beam during the sensing period, and transmits the image to the processing circuit. The processing circuit calculates a depth according to the image and a predetermined image having the special pattern. Therefore, the interference phenomenon is reduced.

Abstract: A system of lighting for an artificial tree or other decoration that allows easy replacement of small sub-strings of luminaries. Each sub-string contains N luminaries, where N is an integer around 10, where the N luminaries are wired in series. Extender cables can be supplied that contain parallel splits so that the different sub-strings are operated in parallel. The extender cable can attach to a master power source that supplies the constant voltage needed to power each sub-string. The exact voltage is determined by the number N and by the voltage requirement for each of the luminaries. Each sub-string has a plug that mates with a receptacle on either an extender cable, or on the master power device. Single point failures only cause one sub-string to go dark. The physical arrangement with plugs and receptacles allows easy replacement of an individual sub-string that is dark because of a failed luminary.

The side-latch includes at least one protrusion exposed out of the insulator along a third axis and structurally leaning against the shielding shell, such that the shielding shell is electrically connected with the pair of side-latches. The first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are orthogonal to each other.

Abstract: The display device includes a circuit and multiple pixels. Each pixel includes multiple sub-pixels, and each sub-pixel includes a pixel electrode and a portion of a common electrode. A frame period includes a first polarity period and a second polarity period. The circuit maintains a voltage of the common electrode unchanged during the frame period, and applies a first dot inversion mode in the first polarity period and applies a second dot inversion mode in the second polarity period to the pixel electrodes. If determining that the input image has a bright stripe and the dark stripe adjacent to the each other, the circuit increases an intensity of the sub-pixel in an edge of the dark stripe or the bright stripe, and/or decrease an intensity of the middle sub-pixel in the bright stripe.

Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes a first terminal module and a second terminal module disposed inside a metallic shell. The first terminal module includes a first insulated member and first plug terminals, a first combining portion, and a first conductive strip assembled on the first insulated member. The second terminal module includes a second insulated member and second plug terminals, a second combining portion, and a second conductive strip assembled on the second insulated member. The first terminal module and the second terminal module are formed by different plastic injection molds, and therefore the assembly of the first plug terminals, the second plug terminals, the first combining portion, and the second combining portion on the first insulated member and the second insulated member becomes easy. No additional Mylar film is utilized because no terminal groove appears on the outer surface of the first insulated member and the second insulated member.

Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes an insulated housing received in a metallic shell, first and second terminal modules respectively above and below the insulated housing, and abutting plates (EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) plates). Each abutting plate (EMI plate) is between the metallic shell and the insulated housing. Each abutting plate (EMI plate) includes a main body and elastic arms outwardly extending from the main body. Each elastic arm includes a terminal contact portion and a shell contact portion. The terminal contact portion is extending toward a corresponding recessed hole of the insulated housing and contacts one or more first ground terminal of the first terminal module or one or more second ground terminal of the second terminal module. The shell contact portion contacts an inner surface of the metallic shell. Therefore, the high frequency features of the connector can be optimized effectively and resonant problems of the connector can be improved.

Abstract: A connector receptacle includes an insulating housing, a plurality of contacts, a protective plate, and a metallic shell. The insulating housing includes a base portion and a tongue portion extending from the base portion. The tongue portion defines a plurality of receiving slots through the base portion.

Abstract: A radially uniform spring-biased intra-pole plug connector and transformer outside the trunk configuration for an electric artificial tree is described. The radially uniform plug comprises a springed-tip and a prong, and allows the tree trunk segments to be connected at any point along their 360 degree circumference. The plug connector resembles the structure of a car cigarette lighter. A mold is used to sandwich the plug within the trunk. A plug portion of the plug connector is housed in one trunk segment, and a receptacle portion is housed in a different trunk segment, such that when the trunk segments are assembled, the plug is connected, illuminating the tree. The plug allows the electrical wiring to be hidden and housed within the trunk, providing safety, convenience to the user and giving the tree a cleaner appearance. The transformer outside the trunk configuration makes the trunk safer, more lightweight and less bulky.
