  • Publication number: 20140078060
    Abstract: An input device is equipped with a cursor pointing unit including a mechanical control stick and an optical sensor. The optical sensor is mounted on the mechanical control stick and has a contact surface for sensing object motion thereon. A cursor signal is generated when the mechanical control stick is inclined by an exerted pressure. When the mechanical control stick is not inclined, a position frame of the object on the contact surface is retrieved as a reference frame. A real-time position frame of the object is retrieved when the object remains on the contact surface. A speed of the object is calculated according to the reference frame and the real-time position frame. When the speed does not exceed a threshold, a cursor position move is generated according to the speed; and when the speed exceeds the threshold, a switch signal is generated to initiate a gesture controlling mode.

  • Publication number: 20130291644
    Abstract: A piezoelectric vacuum gauge includes an actuator with a flexible portion, an actuating unit, a sensor unit, a signal input terminal and a signal output terminal, and a fixture unit having a base portion and a cover portion. An external signal is generated by a signal generator. Receive and transmit an external signal to an actuating unit by the signal input terminal so that the actuating unit has a vibration. Prompt a flexible portion by the actuating unit to produce a first resonant motion when the actuating unit having the vibration. The first resonant motion converts into a second resonant motion because the flexible portion is subject to a damping force of ambient air. Prompt a sensor unit by the second resonant motion to cause a shape transformation of the sensor unit to generate a detecting signal. Output the detecting signal to an external instrument by a signal output terminal of sensor unit to calculate a vacuum pressure value.

  • Publication number: 20130169552
    Abstract: An electronic device sets a condition for triggering zooming operations or rotation operations of a file displayed on the touch screen. When the condition has been met, the device determines an equation of a movement route of an object on the touch screen according to data in relation to contacts from the object, determines a distance difference and a tangential angle difference between a present contact and a next contact, and determines whether the file needs to be rotated or zoomed based on an absolute value of the angle difference. When the file needs to be rotated, the device determines a rotation angle based on the angle difference, and controls a rotation operation of the file accordingly. When the file needs to be zoomed, the device determines a zoom ratio based on the distance difference, and controlling a zooming operation of the file accordingly.

  • Patent number: 8462520
    Abstract: A metal shielding can includes a top wall and a surrounding wall. The surrounding wall extends downwardly from a periphery of the top wall, and includes a bottom surface and a groove formed in the bottom surface for receiving a tin solder element. The strength of the tin solder element to bond the metal shielding can to a circuit board can thus be enhanced so that the metal shielding can can be secured firmly on the circuit board. Moreover, the tin solder element can be positioned accurately relative to a solder pad of the circuit board, so that the post-soldering precision is easy to control and there is no solder overflow or adverse effect on an electronic component mounted on the circuit board. Thus, rework yield can be enhanced considerably to reduce manufacturing costs.
