The clamping member is urged against the passage; the retaining ring is put on the rear holding member; a drill bill is configured to insert through the channel into the passage; the front holding member has a rear end urging against the annular member; the internal threads are secured to the externally threaded projection, and an inner surface of the front holding member compresses the conic section.

Abstract: A device for calibrating a drill bill of a chuck includes an intermediate sleeve including two rear curved elements, a front shoulder, internal threads rearward of the shoulder, and an externally threaded extension projecting out of a front end; a front window including a diametrical calibrating line; an externally threaded rim secured to the internal threads to urge the window against the shoulder; and a ring having internal threads secured to the extension. A fastening of the chuck and the device, a loosening of the retainer ring, and a rotation of the rear holding member to rotate the drill bill can align the drill bill with the calibrating line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a window shutter apparatus and architectural optical assemblies thereof. The architectural optical assembly includes a discolorable element and a light-shielding element. The discolorable element is used for receiving the light beam to exhibit discoloration effect. The light-shielding element is disposed adjacent to the discolorable element and used for shielding a part of the light beam having a wavelength within a predetermined range. Thereby, the architectural optical assembly has both light-shielding effect and light-transmitting effect. Furthermore, the architectural optical assembly can be applied to a window shutter apparatus. Whereby, the window shutter apparatus has both light-shielding effect and light-transmitting effect.

Abstract: A modular beam-recombining system includes a beam splitting/recombining module, a splitting-beam reflecting module, a polarizing beam splitter module, and an image displaying module. The beam splitting/recombining module is used to directly receive a beam from a light-emitting module, and splitting and recombining the beam. The splitting-beam reflecting module is connected with the beam splitting/recombining module for reflecting the beam from the beam splitting/recombining module. The polarizing beam splitter module is arranged correspondingly above the splitting-beam reflecting module for receiving the beam from the splitting-beam reflecting module, and the image displaying module is arranged correspondingly above the polarizing beam splitter module for receiving and reflecting the beam from the polarizing beam splitter module to form an image beam.

Abstract: A computer controlled system and method of using the system for control of shipping a quantity of product either domestically or internationally. The system comprises a number of user input stations for entering a shipping request. Product release information stored in the computer is added to the request which is transmitted t a product storage unit, a printer, and an exit control station. The product storage unit selects the product requested. The printer prints a product release form which can include a customs declaration form and/or a digital authentication stamp if desired. The product is prepared for shipping and the product release form is attached. The product and the product release form is checked at the exit control station. The product is then shipped or corrective action is taken.

Abstract: An adjusting mechanism for the lens set of an imaging system, which is applied to digital photo-taking system, monitoring system, and the like for precisely adjusting the lens set thereon, comprising a pivoting means located inside the imaging system for providing rotation capability to the lens set having the rotation center located at the pivoting means and close to the anchoring end of the lens set; a driving means, located inside the imaging system, for driving the lens set to rotate around the pivoting means; and a human-machine interface for facilitating the operator to control the driving means indirectly.

Abstract: A device for controlling a rotation of a lens in a digital camera includes a lens connected to and exposed out of the housing of a digital camera and a motor disposed within the housing of the digital camera. The lens is provided with a shaft which extends through the housing to have an end extending into the interior of the housing which is disposed with a follower gear. The motor has a drive spindle which is disposed with a driving gear. A set of reduction gears are disposed between and engageable with the follower gear on the shaft of the lens and the driving gear on the drive spindle of the motor. By means of the rotation of the motor, the lens is rotatable horizontally, while the digital camera remains stationary, to a desired direction in order to take a picture.

The first movement member includes a bracket piovtly holding the lens set and a gear set for turning the bracket and the lens set left or right angularly. The second movement member includes a slant block with a slope surface contact with a rear end of the lens set so that when the slant block is moved transversely, the lens set will be tilted up or down angularly. Therefore the lens set may be turned left or right, up or down smoothly and precisely without a user's hand moving the lens set directly. The lens may be prevented from hand smearing. Higher photo quality may be achieved.

The aperture strip has two or more different sizes of apertures equally spaced from each other and being sequenced by size. Turning the selection knob, the aperture strip will be moved and one of the apertures will be positioned in the light path of the camera lens. Two or more apertures may be moved to the light path of camera lens one at a time so that the camera can produce better quality of photo and image. The structure is simple, low cost and easy to use.
