Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed at an improved license plate recognition (LPR) device for identifying vehicular information. In some embodiments, the LPR device includes a DC power source for electrically powering the unit, one or more cameras, processors (or computers), circuitry, and programs for processing images/video captured by the one or more cameras to extract license plate information and/or perform other suitable image processing functions within the LPR device in situ, wired and wireless communications for linking multiple such camera units to each other and to a central data base. The cameras may include infrared and/or color sensors and LEDs, rolling or global shutters, and optical filters.

Abstract: A multiple hard drive connection system includes a first backplane, a second backplane, and a card assembly. The first backplane includes a pass-through and a first socket, and couples to a control system such that the first socket is in electrical communication with the control system. The second backplane is adjacent to and spaced apart from the first backplane, includes a second socket aligned with the pass-through, and couples to the control system such that the second socket is in electrical communication with the control system. The card assembly includes a first edge card connected to the first socket and a second edge card extending through the pass-through and connected to the second socket. The card assembly couples to a hard drive such that the hard drive is in electrical communication with the control system via the first backplane, the second backplane, and the card assembly.

Abstract: A mechanical assembly, for regulating the temperature of an electronic device, includes a gimbal and a heat-exchanger which is attached to the gimbal. The gimbal includes a base member, a carrier member, and a spring which has—1) a first end with a rigid coupling to one of the base and carrier members, and 2) a second end with a slideable coupling to the remaining member. The slideable coupling prevents any gap from occurring between the heat-exchanger and the electronic device when they are pressed together.

Abstract: A cap which visor is preformed at least a pair of slots opened on a position near one side of the visor is fitted with magnetic means provided to conveniently decorate metal badge on the cap without any extra cutting operation only by magnetic attraction.

Abstract: A structure of a finger keyboard comprising a glove, a plurality of keys as well as a receiving electric circuit installed in the glove, the glove is slipped over a palm, by mutual contact or pressing of fingers and keys, signals are generated to get an effect of keyboard inputting. The keys are installed in the glove which is slipped over the palm, merely one hand is good to use the keyboard, the other hand can control other devices such as a mouse, a joystick or another finger keyboard to get an effect of fast and convenient operating. The glove is slipped over a palm, the keyboard can thus be carried on one's person, the hand of the person worn on with the glove does not need to lean on a desk or the like for operation, and an effect of saving space can be obtained.
