  • Patent number: 8258984
    Abstract: A light guide includes a main body and a curved refracting face formed in the main body. As light enters the main body, a bright zone and a secondary bright zone less brighter than the bright zone are formed in the main body. The curved refracting face can be an inner wall face of a curved groove or a cavity disposed in the main body. Through the formation of the curved refracting face, the light in the secondary bright zone can be directed such that, when the light guide is disposed in a thin film keyboard, the brightness of a portion of the keyboard that corresponds to the secondary bright zone has improved brightness.

  • Patent number: 7890150
    Abstract: A antenna module comprises various different single-band miniature antennas respectively coupled to and hid inside individual batteries, and each antenna shares original terminals of the individual battery; the antenna module is allowed to use the terminals to electrically connect to a main body of a wireless communication device to enable the individual antenna module to receive signals in a different frequency range and the wireless communication device to be unnecessary to be disposed with various different single-band antennas. Whereby, space for original disposition of various different single-band antennas can be saved for the disposition of other components.

  • Publication number: 20080284828
    Abstract: An ink ejection system with a print head and an ink priming station is provided. The ink reservoir of the print head has a plurality of ink channels, a plurality of ball valves, a plurality of storing areas, and a plurality of priming holes. Each of the ball valves is located at an outlet of the respective ink channel and has a floating ball. The plurality of storing areas is aligned to the plurality of ink channels respectively for storing ink of different colors. The plurality of priming holes, which are located on a surface of the ink reservoir, is connected with the respective storing areas for balancing air pressure between interior of the ink reservoir and environment. As ink in the storing area excesses a predetermined height, the respective floating ball closes the respective ball valve to stop injecting ink to the respective storing area. The ink priming station has an air cover linked to a pump.

  • Publication number: 20080284834
    Abstract: An ink cartridge has a container, an air valve, and a floating ball. The container is utilized for storing ink. The container has at least an air channel and a flow path. The air valve is disposed at the air channel for preventing the ink from being outside the container via the air channel. The floating ball has density smaller than that of the ink. As the ink in the container is below a predetermined height, the floating ball blocks the flow path permanently.
