  • Publication number: 20050006561
    Abstract: An image sensing module comprises an imaging sensing component and a lens arranged on the image sensing component. The lens is fastened with the image sensing component through adhesion or by using a fastener. Through the function of the lens, incident light will pass through the lens and then be detected by the photosensitive plane of the image sensing component. The size and shape of the lens are properly chosen to adjust the optical system used by the image sensing module. The image sensing module can apply to digital image products such as scanners and digital still cameras. Image distortion can be effectively improved, and the volume of applicable digital image products can be properly shrunk, hence accomplishing the effect of miniaturization of digital image products.

  • Patent number: 6494735
    Abstract: A computer input/output (I/O) cable plug retaining seat comprises a retaining cover and a base. The seat can be connected to a computer I/O plug, such as a well-known CENTRONICS cable plug. Four screws are used to secure the cable plug between the retaining cover and the base. A pair of fixing screws secure the retaining seat with cable plug to the rear cover of an equipment shelf so that when a channel unit slides from the card guide of the equipment shelf, the channel unit connector will be led into the guide holes by means of guide pins so that the channel unit connector is precisely aligned with the cable plug. When a user wishes to remove the channel unit from the equipment shelf, the channel unit is extracted directly without having to disconnect the cable. Thus, the objective of rapid assembly and disassembly is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6422892
    Abstract: A SCSI cable plug retaining seat includes two guide holes, two guide pins, and a seat. The two guide holes are combined to the upper and lower grooves of the cable plug. The two guide pins are installed to a channel unit connector. The seat has an L shape and the bottom thereof having an opening and has two screws and two screw holes. The retaining base of the present invention serves to fix the cable plug by the screw, and then is locked to the rear covering plate of the shelf. When the channel unit slides into the shelf through card guide, the channel unit connector will be guided into the guide holes by the guide pins so that the channel unit connector is precisely combined to the cable plug. Therefore, the connector can be pulled and inserted rapidly.
