  • Publication number: 20090058817
    Abstract: A liquid crystal displayer for preventing the generation of moisture includes a front cover, a touch panel, a nameplate, a partitioning plate and a liquid crystal displayer module. With the partitioning plate dividing a region between the touch panel and the liquid crystal displayer module into a first space and a second space, the first space is smaller, whereas the second space is larger. After the liquid crystal displayer module is supplied with electricity, the hot air staying in the first space is less. Further, the heat-obstructing effect of the partitioning plate causes the hot air not to condense in the second space, and thus it is not easy to generate a temperature difference from the external environment, thereby preventing the generation of mist.

  • Publication number: 20090010472
    Abstract: An acoustical grille (1) secured to a top of a receiver (50) of microphone (5) with an annular ring (10) free from spit moisture installed to a rim of the acoustical grille (1) with grille shells (11) shielded over the receiver (50); at least, a stand (2) connected between the annular ring (10) and positioning ring (3), whereby a distance kept between the grille shells (11) and the receiver (50). Grille shell (11) not only prevents spit in but low pitch, mid pitch, and high pitch sounds can be superimposed received into the receiver (50). Confused or harsh sound emissions of users or breath sounds can be absorbed between the grille shells (10), thereby sounds picked up by the microphone demands for a higher pitch, where the original sounds can be tuned within higher vocal compass. It may be played at soft volume; the sounds are mellow and expressive.

  • Patent number: 7439090
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a lower substrate of a liquid crystal display device is disclosed and more particularly, a method for manufacturing a color filter layer on a lower substrate is disclosed. This method is achieved by using a photosensitive insulating layer as a passivation layer or an overcoat of a thin film transistor to reduce the number of masks, or of photographic steps. The photosensitive insulating layer used in the method has the characteristics of both photoresist and passivation layers so as to protect a thin film transistor from moisture and oxygen. In addition, the number of masks, or of photographic steps used in this method can be further reduced by ink-jet printing a color filter layer or by half-tone mask technique.

  • Patent number: 7396519
    Abstract: A high purity aqueous solution of hydroxylamine product is prepared by treating an aqueous solution of hydroxylammonium salt with a base like ammonia at low temperatures. A novel process can be carried out by separating the ammonium salt side product from hydroxylamine with a low temperature filtration and a resin-exchange process. The concentration of the hydroxylamine product is further improved by a safe distillation process that produces a high purity and high concentration hydroxylamine product with reduced risks of explosion.

  • Publication number: 20080122388
    Abstract: An illumination device comprises a lamp unit, a control unit, and a continuous mode inverter. The control unit receives a command signal to set the target brightness of the lamp unit and generates an inverter control signal. The inverter control signal is a continuous mode pulse signal when the target brightness is in a first range of target brightness, and is a burst mode pulse signal when the target brightness is in a second range of target brightness. The continuous mode inverter generates a lamp unit control signal based on the inverter control signal. The lamp unit control signal is a continuous mode AC signal when the inverter control signal is the continuous mode pulse signal, and is a burst mode AC signal when the inverter control signal is the burst mode pulse signal.
