  • Patent number: 9143820
    Abstract: A method for performing fluent playback control is provided, where the method is applied to an electronic device. The method includes the steps of: determining whether an out of synchronization status regarding audio playback and video playback occurs; and when it is detected that the out of synchronization status occurs, controlling jump timing of video playback according to at least one of scene change detection and standstill detection. For example, the scene change detection can be performed to determine whether a scene change exists, and when it is detected that the scene change exists, a jump operation of video playback is triggered. In another example, the standstill detection can be performed to determine whether a standstill phenomenon exists, in order to determine whether to delay triggering a jump operation of video playback. In another example, a temporary audio pause operation can be selectively performed. An associated apparatus is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150114990
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a feed system with a constant pressure. The feed system comprises a feed container which has a depressurize port mounted on its top, a intake port mounted at its side, and a feed port mounted on its bottom, contains a liquid material being a medicine or a liquid glue mixture; a intake structure which comprises a throttle pipeline and a throttle valve; a opening controller which connects to the throttle valve and the pressure sensor, for controlling the intake structure. The advantage of the feed system is to control the feed flow rate so as to maintain a constant during the feed process, particularly in the hybrid feed system. By steadily controlling the output flow rate, the mixed proportion is controlled to generate the product with the stable quality when two or more liquid materials must be mixed according to the specific proportion.

  • Patent number: 7431595
    Abstract: In a memory card connector, a pivot shaft member is pivotally provided in a front side of the insertion hole for memory card for controlling the gap of the insertion hole for the insertion of a different memory card. The pivot shaft member has a protruding portion protruded from the periphery, and a guide block extending from the protruding portion for guiding the insertion of a thin type memory card into the insertion hole in horizontal. Insertion of a thick memory card into the insertion hole forces the protruding portion to rotate the pivot shaft and to hold down the front row of terminals in the memory card connector, preventing deformation or damage of the terminals due to improper insertion of the memory card into the insertion hole.
