Abstract: A swinging decoration of wind exit, including: a main body having a wind passage. A fan rotatably connected with the main body and disposed in the wind passage thereof. At least one swinging member pivotally mounted on the main body, the swinging member having a driven section. A driving cam plate fitted on a rotary shaft of the fan and rotatable along with the fan. The driving cam plate serves to drive the driven section of the swinging member and swing the swinging member to simulate swinging movement of an insect's wings.

Abstract: A swinging decoration of wind exit, includes a fan unit including a housing formed with an axial wind-guiding passage. A fan being pivotally mounted in the wind-guiding passage. A swinging member pivotally connected to an outer circumference of the housing. A driving mechanism installed between a rotary shaft of the fan and the swinging member and drivable by the fan to drive the swinging member to reciprocally swing up and down. The swinging member has a projecting fixing plate formed with fixing pins. The fixing pins can be inserted in corresponding pinholes of a pressboard. A decorative plate is tightly replaceably clamped and sandwiched between the fixing plate and the pressboard. The swinging decoration can present various configurations such as flying butterfly, bee, bird, etc.

Abstract: An optical encoder including a leadframe substrate, an emitter, and a detector is disclosed. The leadframe substrate bent to include a base portion, an emitter portion and a detector portion. The emitter, for emitting light, is mounted on the emitter portion. The detector, for detecting light, is mounted on the detector portion. The emitter portion lies at an emitter angle relative to the base portion such that light emitted by the emitter is generally directed at a desired direction. The detector portion lies at a detector angle relative to the base portion such that reflected light is captured by the detector. Due to the angles at which the emitter and the detector are mounted, lenses are not necessary; however, even if lenses are used, the encoder is more robust towards manufacturing tolerances of the lenses.

Abstract: In an electronic mail system environment, a system and method for automatically checking recipients' names, providing message flags, providing custom forms, and providing an autoresponse feature. Recipients' names are resolved in the background, while the user of the e-mail system is composing the message. The user easily resolves ambiguous names by using a context menu. The resolved ambiguous names are automatically used to create nicknames, which are used to resolve ambiguous names in the future. Message flags allow a sender or recipient to identify required follow-up action and a deadline. The recipient may use the message flags to quickly determine which messages require follow-up action. The e-mail system notifies a recipient when a due date is approaching or when a follow-up action is past due. A custom forms feature allows a user to create and share custom forms without requiring the form to be published or installed by other user.
