Abstract: A touch panel includes a first substrate, an electronic circuit board, a second substrate, and a number of touch-sensing members arranged on the electronic circuit board. Each of the touch-sensing members comprises a metal dome, an insulating layer covering the metal dome, and a sensing layer formed on the insulating layer. A number of contacting tabs are arranged on the electronic circuit board corresponding to each of the metal domes. The sensing layer generates a first signal in a touch mode when the touch panel is touched by a conductor. The contacting tab generates a second signal in a button mode when the second substrate is deformed when the second substrate is pressed, and the metal dome comes into contact with the contacting tab.

Abstract: A resin surface layer and a method of fabricating the same, and a composite having the resin surface layer and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The method of fabricating the resin surface layer includes: (a) providing a base, made of a resin and including a plurality of additive particles randomly distributed in the base; (b) changing the orientation of the additive particles to arrange the additive particles in a predetermined form; and (c) drying the base to make a surface of the base exhibit a visual effect of 3D texture. Thus, the visual effect of any 3D texture can be achieved by controlling the orientation of the additive particles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiation-detecting device and an associated detection method. The detection device includes a scintillation crystal and an avalanche photodiode. The surface of the scintillation crystal is coated with a high-reflection layer. When ionizing radiation irradiates the scintillation crystal, the crystal emits luminescence, which passes through or is reflected by the high-reflection layer at least once within the scintillation crystal before it is received by the avalanche photodiode, generating a detection signal.

Abstract: An implantable heating apparatus for a living being of the present invention includes a heating unit, a control unit for controlling operations of the heating unit and an induction driven charge/discharge unit for powering the heating unit. The induction driven charge/discharge unit is composed of a core, a coil set wrapping around the core in at least three axial directions and an energy storing unit for electrically coupling to the coil set. Such that when an external alternate magnetic field is approaching the induction driven charge/discharge unit, the coil set is able to generate induction current that can be stored in the energy storing unit.

Abstract: An isolation cell having a test mode, connected between a first block and a second block, wherein the first block can operate in either a power-up mode or a power-down mode, comprises: an input terminal for receiving an input signal that is derived from the first block; an output terminal for outputting an output signal to the second block; a normal-sleep terminal for determining the isolation cell is operated in the power-up mode or in the power-down mode, and the logic level of the normal-sleep terminal is determined by the operation mode of the first block; and, a DFT-sleep terminal is for overwriting the logic level of the normal-sleep terminal when the isolation cell is in the test mode.

Abstract: A digital audio signal player includes a reproducing unit to pick a disc audio signal which is stored in a disk, and a digital signal processor for controlling input and output of the disc audio signal of the memory. Thus, when the system processing unit receives the trigger signal of the trigger switch after the contact member is pressed to contact the trigger switch, the system processing unit drives the digital signal processor to modulate the disc audio signal stored in the memory according to the detected signal of the sensor so as to produce a special audio signal output.

Abstract: A detailed identification method for articles has an image-taking step and a comparison step. The image-taking step includes acts of using a portable identification device having a close-up lens and a screen to take a detailed image of an undistinguishable article and displaying the detailed image on the screen with an enlarged size. The comparison step includes acts of recalling a detailed image of a legal article from a database and displaying the detailed image on the screen of the portable identification device with an enlarged size. The two detailed images are displayed on the same screen so a user can clearly compare the detailed images to judge whether the undistinguishable article is a fake. The detailed identification method for articles has mobility and can be conveniently and extensively used.
