Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) system and an image display method thereof are provided. The HMD system has an HMD apparatus and a handheld electronic apparatus. The HMD apparatus has a connector and generates a multi-axis positioning information according to motion status. The handheld electronic apparatus receives the multi-axis positioning information via the connector and provides a display image data corresponding to the multi-axis positioning information. The HMD apparatus receives the display image data and executes an image display operation according to the display image data.

Abstract: An inflatable bed includes an upper body, a lower body, and a closed chamber space formed between the upper body and the lower body. The inflatable bed includes a plurality of connecting members therein. The connecting members are spaced a determined distance apart from each other and arranged longitudinally and transversely inside the inflatable bed for connecting the upper body with the lower body. Each of the connecting members is a thin ring-like structure. When the inflatable bed is inflated, the connecting members arranged in the longitudinal and transverse directions provide a bubble-like effect, thereby enhancing the comfort for the user to lie thereon. Further, the inflatable bed is light and small in size after collapsed, which is advantageous for camping and mountaineering.

Abstract: An air bag structure includes an air bag body. The air bag body includes a first air bag, a second air bag, and an intermediate partition disposed between the first air bag and the second air bag. The intermediate partition is extensible. When one of the air bags is broken, the other air bag is inflated. The intermediate partition is deformed to move toward the rupture, and the air volume of the good air bag is doubled and returned to the original air volume, thereby maintaining buoyancy.

Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated manner. For example, shoe parts may be retrieved and temporarily assembled according to preset relative positions to form part stacks. The part stacks may be retrieved with the relative positioning of the shoe parts being maintained and placed at a stitching machine for more permanent attachment via stitching of the parts to form a shoe assembly. Movement during stitching of a conveyance mechanism that transfers the part stack from the stacking surface to the stitching machine and movement of a needle associated with the stitching machine may be controlled by a shared control mechanism such that the movements are synchronized with respect to one another. Vision systems may be leveraged to achieve movement and position information between and at machines and locations.

Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated manner. A material handling system suitable for use in an automated shoe-manufacturing process has a guide rail and first and second moveable holding elements, each of the holding elements having gripping elements for engaging a part or part stack during the manufacturing process.

Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated fashion. For example, information describing a shoe part may be determined, such as an identification, an orientation, a color, a surface topography, an alignment, a size, etc. Based on the information describing the shoe part, automated shoe-manufacturing apparatuses may be instructed to apply various shoe-manufacturing processes to the shoe part, such as a pickup and placement of the shoe part with a pickup tool.

Abstract: A message processing method for a portable electronic device includes the steps of: detecting, by a motion sensor, a plurality of first knocks of an object on the portable electronic device and generating a plurality of first detecting signals according to the plurality of first knocks; and encoding, by an encoding system, the plurality of first detecting signals to generate a first message code, wherein a first message is decodable from the first message code by a decoding system.
