Abstract: A cosmetic container includes a container body that has a receiving space with a top opening, the receiving space being adapt to receive a cosmetic product, a lid unit that is connected to the container body and that openably covers the top opening of the receiving space; and a press unit that includes a blocking member which is removably and pluggingly inserted into the receiving space for blocking the cosmetic product within the receiving space, and an abutment member which protrudes from the lid unit to abut against the blocking member. When the lid unit is released from the top opening of the receiving space, the abutment member is driven by and moves together with the lid unit away from, the receiving space.

Abstract: A shower head includes a main body, a motor, a cleaning device and a liquid dispenser. The main body has a channel, an inlet and a plurality of outlets. The channel fluidly connects the inlet and the plurality of outlets. The motor is disposed in the main body and has a driving shaft. The cleaning device is connected to the shaft of the motor. The cleaning device has a cleaning portion exposed on the main body. The liquid dispenser is disposed in the main body and has an outlet terminal in fluid connection with the cleaning portion.

Abstract: A method is provided to control a display screen of an electronic apparatus having an accelerometer and a light sensor. The accelerometer acquires a z-axis value and the z-axis value is compared to a first threshold value. The light sensor acquires a brightness value and the brightness value is compared to a second threshold value if the z-axis value is less than the first threshold value. When the z-axis value is less than the first threshold value and the brightness value is less than the second threshold value, the display screen is turned off. In addition, it is to automatically turn on or turn off the display screen by judging detection values of the accelerometer and the light sensor, thereby increasing convenience of operating the electronic apparatus. Further, the detection values are judged to overcome the misjudgement problem of the electronic apparatus.

Abstract: The invention develops a developed a thermosensitive injectable hydrogel based on HA and a copolymer of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polypropylene oxide (PPO), which has a gel formation temperature from 30° C. to 37° C. The thermosensitive injectable hydrogel of the invention provides a potential drug delivery system that can increase therapeutic efficacy of the drug.

Abstract: An image editing method for editing an original image is provided. The original image has a distinct figure and an indistinct figure, which correspond to an in-focus object and an out-of-focus object, respectively. The image editing method includes: obtaining an out-of-focus object distance from the out-of-focus object to a lens; performing an inverse blurring process on the indistinct figure according to the out-of-focus object distance and an optical parameter to obtain a processed figure; and forming a processed image according to the processed figure and the distinct figure.
