The flow channel is disposed in the optical projection system and has an air intake and an air vent. The fan is disposed in the flow channel to induce an air flow and has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air flow enters the flow channel via the air intake, passes through the air inlet and the air outlet in succession and leaves the flow channel via the air vent. A color wheel and a photo sensor are disposed in the flow channel and positioned between the air intake of the flow channel and the air inlet of the fan, and an integration rod is disposed in the flow channel and positioned between the air outlet of the fan and the air vent of the flow channel. The air filter is disposed in the air intake of the flow channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2011Publication date: April 26, 2012Inventors: Tsung-Ching LIN, Jia-Hong DAI

Patent number: 7991767Abstract: A method and system for sharing search index entries across multiple computer systems organized in a peer to peer network, in which unique content is indexed only once, even though the content may be physically duplicated in multiple computer systems in the peer to peer network. When files are obtained by a shared indexing service, and a determination is made as to whether the received files are duplicates with regard to previously indexed files. If a file is determined to be a duplicate, the index representation of the previously indexed copy of the file is modified to indicate that the file is also associated with another computer system in the peer to peer network. If a file is not a duplicate of a previously indexed file, the file is indexed to support future searches. The index representation of a file includes category identifiers associating one or more computer systems with the file. When a file is indexed, one or more category identifiers are generated and stored in association with that file.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2005Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David A. Brooks, Niklas Heidloff, Hong Dai, Craig R. Wolpert, Igor L. Belakovskiy

Publication number: 20100307800Abstract: The invention provides an anodised aluminium product for use in a metal core printed circuit board which in which the anodised layer forms a dielectric, and the resultant metal core printed circuit board has a sandwich structure having a thermal conductivity higher than and a thermal resistance lower than conventional metal core printed circuit boards using alternative dielectric layers, and with improved electrical insulation properties. The invention has application in manufacture of rigid and flexible printed circuit boards which have a metal substrate, manufacture of a heat conductive substrate for semiconductor devices, and electronic devices. While the use of the invention is described in relation to metal core printed circuit boards, the anodising process and anodised aluminium of the invention may have other applications beyond this technology. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing such an anodised aluminium product.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: December 9, 2010Applicant: OPULENT ELECTRONICS INTERNATIONAL PTE LTDInventors: Kai Fook Francis Wee, Jian Hua Xu, Jian Hong Dai

Patent number: 7685106Abstract: A method and system for sharing full text index entries across application boundaries in which documents are obtained by a shared, platform level indexing service, and a determination is made as to whether the received documents are duplicates with regard to previously indexed documents. If a document is determined to be a duplicate, the index representation of the previously indexed copy of the document is modified to indicate that the document is also associated with another application or context. If a document is not a duplicate of a previously indexed document, the document is indexed to support future searches and/or other processing. The index representation of a document includes application category identifiers associating one or more applications or contexts with the document. When a document is indexed, one or more category identifiers are generated and stored in association with that document.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2005Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David A. Brooks, Niklas Heidloff, Hong Dai, Craig R. Wolpert, Igor L. Belakovskiy

Patent number: 7672956Abstract: When a message having at least one attachment is obtained for indexing, it is indexed as N+1 separate documents, where N is the number of attached documents. If the message is part of a message thread, then information regarding the last message in the thread is retrieved, and search index attachment meta data for the last message is extracted. A unique identifier is computed for the newly obtained attachments, and used to search for matches in the attachments for the last message in the thread. If there is a match, then the newly obtained attachment is not indexed, but the unique identifier of the previously indexed matching attachment is added to a body index document for the new message. A unique identifier associated with the new message is also added to a list of parent identifiers associated with the attachment.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2005Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Igor L. Belakovskiy, Niklas Heidloff, David A. Brooks, Craig R. Wolpert, Hong Dai

Patent number: 7552144Abstract: A system for central refresh of a place includes a source place; a place type; a child place; each place comprising a plurality of place objects implemented as documents, logic, and associated design note, each design note including a plurality of items; some of the items being content items descriptive of content of the objects. A central refresh execution module determines whether an inherited place object is modified in a place by assigning to each item a sequence indicia indicative of change activity with respect to the item; generating and storing a stored checksum of sequence indicia generated for the content items; and responsive to a refresh operation with respect to the child place, and calculating a refresh checksum of sequence indicia for the content items. The central refresh execution module is responsive to the stored checksum and the refresh checksum being unequal for refreshing the child place.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2002Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hong Dai, Sami M.
