  • Publication number: 20110271016
    Abstract: A system for universal serial bus (USB) image capturing with two isochronous transfers includes a USB image capturing device and a host. The USB image capturing device has two endpoints for transferring a video stream through a USB. The host has a driver for receiving the video stream through the USB. The driver receives the video stream, and creates a read extension data structure for the endpoints. The driver manages and dispatches the packets of the endpoints, and copies data of the packets into a first buffer and a second buffer, respectively. When a first end frame flag in a packet of the first endpoint is set and a second end frame flag in a packet of the second endpoint is set, the driver combines data of the first and the second buffers into a frame and sends the frame to the host.

  • Publication number: 20100097912
    Abstract: An adaptation device includes a lower casing member including a connection interface and forming a bottom slot in a front bottom, at least one retention flange on side walls, and pivot receiving holes in rear portions of the side walls. A retention board forms a connection interface receiving opening in a front end, rotation shafts on a rear end, and pawls on a bottom. The shafts are movably received in shaft slots defined in a rotary board. Pivots are formed below the shaft slots for being received in pivot receiving holes defined in the lower casing member. The rotary board has a hold-down plate. With a hard disk drive placed on the retention board and connected to a connection interface, the cover and the rotary board are closed forward to have the hold-down plate holding down the hard disk drive.

  • Publication number: 20080273041
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interactive image and graphic system and method capable of detecting collision. A storage device stores a plurality of image data streams. Each image data stream includes a header, which has at least one position coordinate field, and the at least one position coordinate field corresponds to at least one object of the image data stream. An image engine plays a first image data stream of the plurality of image data streams. A graphic engine receives a sprite picture data. The sprite picture data includes a sprite position coordinate. The graphic engine receives the header of the first image data stream. When the sprite position coordinate superimposes over a position coordinate of the at least one object of the first image data stream, the graphic engine drives the image engine to select a second image data stream from the storage device for being played.

  • Patent number: 7204695
    Abstract: A fastener structure includes a connector plug and a connector socket. A protruding connecting portion is formed on one side of the connector plug, and a plurality of aligned terminals and fool-proof fasteners are configured on the protruding connecting portion. The electric conducting spring pieces are correspondingly connected to positive and negative poles of a power cable, and the positive and negative poles of the power cable and a transformer are correspondingly connected to butt spring pieces protruding from two sides of the protruding connecting portion. When the protruding connecting portion is plugged into the fixing slot, the butt spring pieces of the protruding connecting portion make contact with the electric conducing spring pieces, thereby enabling the passive electromagnetic member to produce a magnetic effect that achieves the objective of magnetic joining of the connector plug and the connector socket and electrical connection to a power supply.

  • Patent number: 6755667
    Abstract: An electronic component and a structure of terminals thereof are proposed. The electronic component includes a plurality of terminals and a plastic main body having a plurality of terminal passageways. A pin portion of the terminal protrudes downwards out of the terminal passageway. The pin portion has a catching portion. A bottom receiving room for placing a tin or solder ball is formed at the bottom end of the terminal passageway. After the pin portion is bent, the catching portion can catch the tin ball from below. The terminal is lengthened to facilitate electroplating. The packaging of tin ball can be accomplished without the electronic component undergoing a soldering procedure. When the electronic component is soldered to a circuit board, the pin portion can be clamped between the tin ball and a conductive copper foil of the circuit board to form a soldered structure of sandwich shape, thereby achieving good electric connection.

  • Patent number: 6394862
    Abstract: A structure improvement of electric buoy is a buoy composed of a lower body and an upper body. The primary design improvement is an adjustable button equipped in the lower body of the buoy, near the hook surroundings and several magnetic rings. Some screw threads are formed at the outer rim of the button. The screw threads and the square-shape lower body of a buoy match perfectly and function as micro adjustment. When buoyancy or lead weight varies and buoy sensitivity is poor, one may properly adjust the button to obtain optimal sensitivity.
