Abstract: A method and device for repairing defective pixels of a liquid crystal display panel. First, examine the liquid crystal panel to obtain the locations of defective pixels on a liquid crystal display. Next, input a pixel signal wherein the pixel signal further comprises a pixel brightness signal used to control a pixel with a first brightness according to the pixel signal. When the pixel signal is used to be inputted to the defective pixel, the pixel brightness signal of the pixel signal will be replaced by a default brightness signal wherein the default brightness signal controls the pixel with a second brightness. Of which, the second brightness, whose level of brightness is of complete darkness for instance, is dimmer than the first brightness. At last, output pixel signals.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing fast handoff in WLAN-like communications system construct a caching candidate set based upon a weighted handoff tendency coefficient. The weighted handoff tendency coefficient is based upon the handoff matrix and the weighting factor. The handoff matrix is an adaptive two-dimensional array that provides a list of nearby access points relative to a mobile station and the weighting factor is a value that prioritizes the nearby access points based upon a signal quality indication. A home access point, once it is triggered to initialize proactive caching, provides the caching candidate set with registration data of the mobile station before a transfer of a connection between the home access point and one of the access points on the caching candidate set.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaft assembly for a motor. The shaft assembly comprises: a shaft tube, a bearing, a shaft and at least two engaged rings. The shaft has an end and a slot. At least two engaged rings are disposed in the slot of the shaft, and comprise a first engaged ring and a second engaged ring. The first engaged ring is a metal material and the second engaged ring is a non-metal material. The material strength of the first engaged ring is larger than that of the second engaged ring. The first engaged ring can be utilized to support and position the shaft, and the second engaged ring can be utilized to cushion the shaft. Therefore, the problems of motor noise, rotor shift or even separating from the bearing can be resolved simultaneously so as to increase the stability of motor.

The nanounits are provided with nanomolecules having different sizes respectively. In the recognition system and method, a sensing module senses the arrangement of the nanounits and the sizes of the nanomolecules on the micro bar code.

Abstract: A DC brushless motor structure comprises a cylinder-like base having a through-hole or a chamber. The through-hole acts as an axle hole for rotatably receiving a shaft of a rotor. Alternatively, the shaft of the rotor is rotatably received in the chamber. An axle hole is defined in an end of the base. Another axle hole is defined in a lid attached to an end of the base. The shaft of the rotor is rotatably received in the axle holes. At least two sets of windings are mounted to the base. Also mounted to the base is an IC control member electrically connected to the windings. A magnetic force is generated by a magnetic field that is created as a result of energizing the windings to thereby repulse the permanent magnet of the rotor having a north pole and a south pole, thereby driving the rotor to turn.

Abstract: A timing lock device for a faucet includes a valve seat, a top cover, a locking washer, a relief rod, a locking valve shaft, and a compression spring. In use, the relief rod may be used to release the water pressure in the pressure storage chamber of the top cover.

When not in use, the water may flow through the return through hole of the top cover into the pressure storage chamber. Thus, the water flow may be stopped automatically by the restoring force of the compression spring and the water pressure in the pressure storage chamber, thereby saving the manual work, and thereby achieving an excellent leakproof effect.
