  • Patent number: 9038279
    Abstract: A mechanical encoder including an assembly, a flexible element, and a signal sensing module is disclosed. The assembly has a plurality of poking/stiring structure that provides poking/stirring function. The flexible element includes a first piezoelectric layer and a second piezoelectric layer. The first piezoelectric layer and the second piezoelectric layer are stacked on each other via an attach material. The flexible element is set up so that the poking/stiring structures stir/poke a first end of the flexible element, so as to output an electrical signal responsive to deformation of the flexible element. The signal sensing module receives the electrical signal to generate a position signal and a direction signal corresponding to the movement of the poking structures.

  • Patent number: 8491128
    Abstract: A method for projection correction includes following steps. An original image is projected as a projection image on an object. A projection-zone image including the projection image is captured from the object. A projection image outline corresponding to the projection image is obtained from the projection-zone image. An operation is performed on the projection image outline to obtain a horizontal inclination and a vertical inclination. The original image is pre-warped according to the horizontal inclination and the vertical inclination to obtain a corrected image, and the corrected image is projected on the object.

  • Patent number: 7480109
    Abstract: The present invention provides a piezoelectrically driven optical lens module. The piezoelectrically driven optical lens module includes at least a lens body, a guiding rod for providing an axial movement track, a piezoelectric element for providing driving force, and an elastic element for providing the piezoelectric element with pre-load, so as to allow the piezoelectric element to be in contact with the guiding rod. The lens body includes at least an enclosed hollow structure, a lens barrel axially moveable and fixed to the enclosed hollow structure, and a lens element fixed to the lens barrel. The piezoelectric element is in contact with the guiding rod via the elastic elements, and the piezoelectric element is used for driving the lens barrel to move linearly along the guiding rod. The present invention provides a piezoelectrically driven optical lens module with a simple structure, to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.

  • Publication number: 20070246438
    Abstract: A medication keycode lock fan light fabricated from a sealing cap, a keycode cover and a keycode cover opener. A screw opening is formed in the sealing cap corresponding to position of an elastic septum of the medicine bottle. The keycode cover screws into the screw opening of the sealing cover, and is used to cover the elastic septum of the medicine bottle. Furthermore, a keycode hole having a set profile is defined in a surface of the keycode cover, and an end of the keycode cover opener is configured with a key that matches the keycode hole. The key of the keycode cover opener and the keycode hole must be in exact corresponding juxtaposition to enable unscrewing of the keycode cover, thereby uncovering the elastic septum of the medicine bottle and effectively resolving the problem of using the wrong medication due to inadvertence of the person concerned.

  • Patent number: 7020613
    Abstract: A method and system of mixing audios to convert a plurality of input voices into a single output voice is described. The system of mixing audios has a decoding device, an audio mixing device and a frame package unit. The input voices including a plurality of audio frames are partially decoded to acquire audio parameters of the input voices by the decoding device. One audio frame of the input voices is selected by the audio mixing device to obtain a target frame according to the audio parameters later. The target frame is then packaged so as to be identical to the original format of the input voices by the frame package unit.
