  • Publication number: 20090089260
    Abstract: A Quick Search User Interface (UI) comprises a search entry field for inputting characters, e.g. search terms. The Quick Search UI further comprises icons that are graphical representations of applications. The Quick Search UI subsequently launches an operating system and passes the user action to the operating system. The operating system uses this information to generate search results comprising websites, program files, videos, etc. Alternatively, the operating system launches the application(s) selected by the user. Icons displayed on the user interface are ordered, for example, according to a company's willingness to pay more money for a more prominent spot or according to user preferences. The Quick Search UI can be customized using skins with themes, such as musicians, geographic locations, and/or products. The icons can be displayed according to which application provider pays the highest premium, or according to user preference.

  • Publication number: 20090079668
    Abstract: A method for measuring the readability of a screen under sunshine is disclosed. In this method, a first set of basic data of a screen module to be tested under dark room conditions is measured. Next, a second set of basic data of the screen module under simulated sunshine conditions is measured. A first screen readability interval data and a second screen readability interval data are then obtained according to the first set of basic data and the second set of basic data. Finally, the first screen readability interval data and the second screen readability interval data are used to determine whether or not the screen module can be clearly read under sunshine. These readability interval data can be used as a basis for leave-factory quality inspection of screens.

  • Publication number: 20080168621
    Abstract: A glass door hinge structure includes a hinge body, a hinge cover, an axial bolt and a fixing base. After a glass door is installed between a hinge body and a hinge cover and the fixing base is fixed on the ground, both edges of the glass door can be adjusted to an angle to provide a smooth and neat glass door by turning two long screw bolts of an extending body installed adjacent to a hole base on the fixing base. With such connection of the long screw bolts to the extending body, the screw thread will not be damaged easily. With the resilience provided by the long spring coil installed in both edges of the through hole that is disposed transversally in the protrusion of the hinge body, the life expectancy can be extended and the two glass doors can resume their closing position quickly.

  • Publication number: 20080165827
    Abstract: A compensation method for cold junction of temperature controlling console is used to compensate the temperature difference of cold junctions when a plurality of temperature controlling consoles are connected in series, where one temperature controlling console is master temperature controlling console and others are slave temperature controlling consoles. Each of the consoles has a serial input end, a serial output end and a master/slave communication end, where the serial output end of one slave console is connected to the serial input end of next slave console to form serial connection. The master/slave communication ends of all consoles are connected parallel. When the master temperature controlling console at end of the series sends a communication protocol data to all slave consoles, the slave consoles set their communication protocol to judge the positions thereof and then set the temperature compensation according to their position and their built-in program for cold junctions.

  • Publication number: 20080109525
    Abstract: A linking system automatically sets communication protocol and station numbers for multiple consoles. One console is set as master console and the remaining consoles are set as slave consoles. Each console comprises a serial input end, a serial output end and a master/slave communication end. The serial output end of one slave console is connected to the serial input end of a next console to form a console series, while the master/slave communication ends of all consoles are in parallel connection. The master console sends communication protocol data to all slave consoles to set up the slave consoles. The first slave console generates a serial number of one and sends the serial number to next slave console. The serial number is added by one in the next slave console. This process is performed for each slave console and the final serial number is sent to the master console. Therefore, the maser console identifies the number of slave consoles and can assign station number for the slave consoles.

  • Patent number: 7249882
    Abstract: A method for determining integration initial value of PID controller is applied to obtain an integration initial value for temperature control and to fast eliminate stability error. This method uses a set temperature value and temperature error setting to perform on-off switching with the range of temperature error setting after an automatic tune is activated. An amplitude for the highest and the lowest temperature curve is obtained. An integration is calculated based on the amplitude, the temperature value and the lowest temperature to obtain an estimated control initiation value for PID controller performing temperature. A stabilizing integration value is added when temperature is near a preset value to reduce temperature reaction time. Therefore, the dilemma of temperature overshoot caused by fast reaction and low reaction to prevent temperature overshoot can be solved.

  • Publication number: 20060242852
    Abstract: A construction-use plumb bob structure comprised of a blunt top, pointed bottom conical body having a thread-fastened sharp tip and a cord conjoining component respectively installed at its upper and lower extremities, wherein a recessed cavity formed in the internal section of the body ensconces a filler material of similar shape, the external threads died along its lower extent of a dish-shaped attachment unit are fastened to the internal threads tapped along the upper extent of the recessed cavity, and a threaded section at the bottom end of a narrow gauge cord is fastened into the internal threads in the attachment unit. As such, since a filler material of different composition is ensconced inside the body, the present invention weighs the same as an originally solid plumb bob such that there are no differences during utilization. Furthermore, the invention herein achieves the objective of reducing production cost.

  • Publication number: 20060162124
    Abstract: A glass door hinge structure in which the hinge body consists of an inner protruding section with perpendicular corners fabricated along the periphery and, furthermore, a recess is disposed in one side of the protruding section and the outer surface is a level plane. As a result, mounting at the corresponding position on the glass door only requires an identically shaped hole that accommodates the projecting section. Additionally, the hinge cover plate is fabricated as a planar surface because the protruding section outer surface is a level plane, thereby saving material, streamlining the fabrication process, reducing cost, as well as lowering friction and scraping against the hinge cover plate to maintain an attractive appearance free of superficial scratches.
