  • Patent number: 11749473
    Abstract: The invention provides a keyboard module and a keyboard device. The keyboard module includes a circuit assembly, a plurality of key assemblies, and at least one microphone. The circuit assembly has a signal output interface. The key assemblies are configured on the circuit assembly, and each key assembly is adapted to be pressed to drive the circuit assembly to generate a tapping signal. The microphone is electrically connected to the circuit assembly. The tapping signal and a sound signal generated by the microphone are respectively transmitted out of the keyboard module through the signal output interface.

  • Patent number: 11158469
    Abstract: A framework structure and a keyboard device are provided. The framework structure is applicable to a keyboard module. The keyboard module includes multiple standard keys and multiple function keys. The framework structure includes a frame and a rib portion. The frame correspondingly surrounds the keyboard module. The rib portion is formed in the frame and divides the area in the frame into a first region and a second region. The first region corresponds to the area defined by the standard keys of the keyboard module, and the second region corresponds to the function keys of the keyboard module.

  • Patent number: 9355480
    Abstract: Improved techniques involve uniformly distributing remainder pixels to the visual components when distributing the visual components in a display of a fixed pixel width. When displaying a number of visual components on the display, an electronic device connected to the display generates remainder pixels that are the result of the quotient of the number of display pixels and the number of visual components not being a whole number. The electronic device then distributes the remainder pixels to the visual components in a uniform manner so that each visual component is aligned with a respective visual target in the display.

  • Patent number: 5118212
    Abstract: A stamping equipment of a writing utensil includes a stamp pad support extending from the rear end of the writing utensil. An elongated recessed groove is formed on the stamp pad support. A stamp support that includes a first end pivoted about the rear end of the writing utensil to pivot between a first position parallel to the longitudinal axis of the writing utensil and a second position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the writing utensil. A stamp plate with a seal on one side and a stud with a considerable weight on the other side, which is eccentrically pivoted about the other end of the stamp support to pivot between a third position parallel to the longitudinal axis of the writing utensil and a fourth position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the writing utensil. A slidable cap of the writing utensil can enclose the stamping equipment within the same.
