Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting an image taken by a webcam. After providing a first threshold value, an environmental reference value is calculated according to an exposure time and an average brightness value. The environmental reference value is compared with the first threshold value to determine whether to enter a noise-reduction mode to reduce noises of the image.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device is provided. A light source emitter and a light source receiver are integrated in the device. The light source emitter is a Zn-diffused vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The light source receiver is a uni-traveling-carrier photodiode (UTC-PD). With the VCSEL, a 10 Gb/s eye is opened under a small voltage and a small signal amplitude. With the UTC-PD, the 10 Gb/s eye is passed even under zero-bias. Thus, the optoelectronic device has a high speed and power consumption is saved.

Abstract: A computer, a power saving method and a method for reducing output current are disclosed. The computer includes a driving module, an application module, and a daemon module. The driving module initializes the web camera when the web camera connects to the computer. When the web camera outputs signals to the application module, a signal channel is established. The daemon module detects the signal channel. When the signal channel stops, the daemon module set the web camera into the standby mode through the driving module.

Abstract: A digital media frame is provided for display of digital media data, such as digital images. The digital media frame includes a data network interface for communications via a data network such as the Internet. The digital media frame is capable of communications using an instant messaging communications protocol, through which data such as digital images can be exchanged with other devices directly and immediately. The digital media frame can also be configured and/or controlled via a web portal by transmitting configuration or control data to the digital media frame using the instant messaging communications protocol.

The web camera includes a photosensitive device, a processing chip, and a dynamic image processing chip. The photosensitive device is suitable for capturing the image data. The processing chip is coupled to the photosensitive device and is suitable for receiving the image data output by the photosensitive device. The dynamic image processing chip is coupled to the processing chip. When the image data is a dynamic image data, the dynamic image processing chip outputs a control signal to the processing chip, and the processing chip stores the image data into the portable storage device according to the control signal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a PCI-Express multimode expansion card comprising a PCI-Express interface port for insertion into a PCI-Express slot of a motherboard, a PCI-Express expansion port, a USB expansion port, and a jumper circuit connecting the PCI-Express interface port and the two expansion ports. The PCI-Express expansion port provides expandability by allowing the attachment of a PCI-Express interfaced peripheral device, and the USB expansion port provides expandability by allowing the attachment of a USB-interfaced peripheral device. As such, a single PCI-Express multimode expansion card inserted into a PCI-Express slot configured on the motherboard can be used to attach two peripheral devices with different interface, thereby achieving the function of multimode expansion.

Abstract: Ethidium bromide is a carcinogen. After carrying out relevant DNA or RNA experiments, there is generally produced a waste solution or a pollutant containing ethidium bromide and thus in a laboratory such a waste solution and pollutant must be particularly treated in a way identical to the treatment of poisonous materials. To date, there are several methods for treating the waste solution or the pollutant containing ethidium bromide, but these methods all have their defects. For instance, the treatment method is too complicated, a strong acid and a strong base harmful to humans are used in treatment, the cost for treatment is too expensive, ethidium bromide present in the solution is merely concentrated through physical adsorption and thus the carcinogenicity of ethidium bromide is not destroyed, and after treatment other carcinogens which can not be removed are still produced in a minor amount.

Abstract: An alignment device provides one or more references, such as laser lines and planes in horizontal and vertical orientations. One version of the alignment device includes an optics mounting assembly situated in a pivot socket on a frame to provide an output beam. A spring system and one or more alignment assemblies align and secure the optics mounting assembly in the socket. As a result, the output beam has a desired orientation with respect to true level. The spring system holds the optics mounting assembly in communication with the alignment assemblies to reduce system backlash. One implementation of the pivot socket has a surface in the form of a sphere's interior surface. A set of support members on the optics mounting assembly rest on the pivot socket's spherical surface—causing the output reference beam to extend from the center of a sphere including the socket's spherical surface.

Abstract: A method of eliminating corrugation in central umbrella cover, being made of a plain weave cloth, in which the weft has no stretchability, while the warp has a slight stretchability; before the umbrella cloth being cut into an umbrella cover, the umbrella cover and the main rib are set a different angle of ten degrees; the tail end of the main ribs and the sewing points of the umbrella cloth are not fallen on the parallel line of the warp or the weft; from the sewing points to the central part of the ribs, there are different length so as to balance the tension of various stretch points; the edge of the umbrella cover is cut out and sewed properly so as to provide suitable corrugation-proof. When the umbrella is opened, the central portion of the umbrella cover would not have corrugation and looseness because of the main ribs having a slight curvature, and the oblique weave mesh able to balance the stretched tension.

Abstract: An encoding apparatus and an associated decoding apparatus for a television signal having embedded viewer access control data. A program category code is inserted into a television signal by the encoding apparatus, identifying at least one attribute of program content of an associated television program. An individual viewer may preclude receipt of television programming identified by a corresponding program category code as containing a program content attribute for which the individual viewer has chosen to preclude viewing. The decoding apparatus compares the program category code embedded within a television program with a user category code indicating at least one of the attributes of programming content for which the individual user has elected to preclude receipt of television programming. Viewing of the television signal is precluded when the television signal includes a program category code corresponding to the user category code.
