  • Publication number: 20230137606
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for positioning in a map and a self-propelled device. The method includes: providing the self-propelled device with a sensor, an embedded computer and a display; controlling the self-propelled device to move to a positioning point of a workspace; scanning, by the sensor, a physical structure in the workspace to obtain a structural feature when the self-propelled device is at the positioning point; performing a matching algorithm on the structural feature by the embedded computer to determine whether the structural feature matches the map structure around a mark in a map; and showing, by the display, a matching image for indicating a position of the self-propelled device in the map in response to determining that the structural feature matches the map structure; thereby decreasing occurrences for the wrong positioning of the self-propelled device in the map.

  • Publication number: 20150122196
    Abstract: An unfoldable portable pet bag has a bearing plate portion, extensible peripheral portion, lacing holes, control pull-cord, flexible portions and pulling and lifting portions. The portable pet bags can be unfolded and directly used as a mat for pets. Moreover, the unfoldable portable pet bag is flat when it is unfolded, enabling elimination of blind corners and making it easier for cleaning and drying. When pet owners plan to take pets with them, the pets could step into (or be carried into) the bearing plate portion. Next, the extensible peripheral portion can be quickly converged into a vertical framed body via upward pulling of said pulling and lifting portion. This could completely solve the problem of pets getting stuck when they're put into or taken out of the pet container, making it more convenient, quicker and safer to carry the pets with multiple functions.

  • Patent number: 7372525
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a color filter with mosaic pixel array arrangement. The color filter comprises a plurality of pixel arrays. The pixel array has four sub-pixels. The color of the sub-pixel of the pixel array is identical to that of another sub-pixel of another pixel array adjacent to the pixel array. The sub-pixels with same color form a sub-pixel group so that the area of a single color of the sub-pixel group is increased. Therefore, the adhesion strength between the sub-pixel group and the substrate can be augmented to avoid peeling from the substrate. According to the invention, the yield rate of the product will be raised and the chromaticity will be improved.

  • Patent number: 7233377
    Abstract: A liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) panel in single-domain vertical alignment mode. The LCOS includes a front plate, a rear plate, and a liquid crystal layer. The rear plate includes a number of pixel electrodes and the pixel electrodes are grouped in pairs. Every two pairs of pixel electrodes are separated by a groove while the pixel electrodes in each pair are separated by a protrusion. The LCOS panel is filled with the liquid crystal layer, between the front and rear plates, while the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer are in vertical alignment mode. By the configuration of the protrusions and grooves among the pixels of the LCOS panel, a single domain is readily formed in every pixel while high contrast ratio, reduced fringe field effect and effect of transverse electric field can be achieved.
