  • Patent number: 11966628
    Abstract: A memory device, includes a memory array for storing a plurality of vector data each of which has an MSB vector and a LSB vector. The memory array includes a plurality of memory units each of which has a first bit and a second bit. The first bit is used to store the MSB vector of each vector data, the second bit is used to store the LSB vector of each vector data. A bit line corresponding to each vector data executes one time of bit-line-setup, and reads the MSB vector and the LSB vector of each vector data according to the bit line. The threshold voltage distribution of each memory unit is divided into N states, where N is a positive integer and N is less than 2 to the power of 2, and the effective bit number stored by each memory unit is less than 2.

  • Publication number: 20240111849
    Abstract: A media docking device includes an input circuit, an output circuit and a processing circuit. The input circuit is electrically connected to a media source device for receiving media data. The output circuit is electrically connected to a media play device. The processing circuit is electrically connected to the input circuit and the output circuit. The processing circuit determines if a verification procedure is passed. If the verification procedure is passed, the processing circuit transfers the media data to the media play device. If the verification procedure is not passed, the processing circuit limits a transmission of the media data, such that the media data will not be completely played by the media play device.

    Abstract: A media docking device includes an input module, an output module and a processing module. The input module is electrically connected to a media source device for receiving media data. The output module is electrically connected to a media play device. The processing module determines if an instruction is received from the media source device or a remote device. If the instruction is not received, the processing module transfers the media data to the output module to transmit to the media play device. If the instruction is received, the processing module limits a transmission of the media data according to the instruction, such that the media data will not be completely played by the media play device.

  • Publication number: 20220027840
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for identifying items and inventory thereof. The system includes a weight measuring device, an information processing device, a commodity weight table, an inventory storage table, and an access record. The weight measuring device carries and monitors the overall weight of all items. The information processing device is connected to the weight measuring device, so as to receive the weight output from the weight measuring device. The information processing device calculated the weight value of the item when it is accessed based on the weight value before and after the increase or decrease of the items, so that the user may add item information, or allow the system to actively compare the weight value with the commodity weight tables, the inventory storage table, and the access record, to screen out one or more items with closed weights for the users to choose, identify, and estimate the inventory.

  • Patent number: 6448975
    Abstract: An automatically adjusted magnifier for a display comprises a motor, two movable bases, two breakers, and a magnifier. The movable bases are located at either sides of the motor to connect with the motor by way of gears. Each of the movable bases has a transmission belt driven by the motor via one of the gears and a driving wheel to carry two opposite pulleys moving along a guide rail respectively. Two extensible levers in each movable base have an end thereof pivotally attached to the pulleys respectively and the other end thereof pivotally attached an engaging piece respectively so as to connect with the magnifying glass. Hence, the extensible levers may displace the magnifying glass to a best position to magnify a screen of the display.
