  • Patent number: 8116424
    Abstract: An exemplary shift register includes a plurality of shift register units, each of which includes an output circuit, an input circuit, and a logic circuit. The output circuit includes a clock transistor, a voltage stabilizing transistor, and an input circuit for receiving signals output by a previous shift register unit. The logic circuit receives signals output by the input circuit. When the input circuit outputs signals to switch on the clock transistor, the logic circuit outputs a low level voltage signal to shut off the voltage stabilizing transistor. Thus, the output circuit outputs signals via the clock circuit. On the other hand, when the input circuit outputs signals to shut off the clock transistor, the logic circuit outputs a high level voltage signal to turn on the voltage stabilizing transistor, so as to maintain the output circuit to output low level voltage signal.

  • Publication number: 20110316721
    Abstract: A laser projection system including a projection screen and a laser projector is revealed. The projection screen includes at least one light emitting layer having at least one luminescent material that is excited by excitation light with a specific wavelength range to generate excited light with another wavelength range. The laser projector consists of a laser light source module, a laser signal modulation module, a rotation plane mirror module, a rotation plane mirror control module, and a signal conversion module. The laser projector produces excitation laser according to an image signal of a static image or dynamic image and projects the laser to the projection screen correspondingly for an image displayed. Thus a projected image with high recognition is displayed on the projection screen in a transparent manner in natural sunlight. Therefore efficiency and application of the laser projection are improved.

  • Publication number: 20110144467
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a flexible 3D microprobe structure, which comprises at least one probe, a base and a hinge portion. The probe is connected to the base via the hinge portion. The probe forms a bend angle with respect to a normal of the base by attracting the probe through an electrostatic force to make the hinge portion bend with respect to the base, and thus to form a 3D structure having the bend angle. The probe, the base and the hinge portion are made of a flexible polymeric material to reduce the inflammation response of creatures. Further, a fixing element is used to enhance the structural strength of the flexible 3D microprobe structure.

  • Patent number: 7959021
    Abstract: An air inlet is mounted in a baby bottle and has a valve and an air-inlet tube. The valve has a body, an outer ring and an inner ring. The body has a chamber, multiple separating blocks and multiple liquid channels. The separating blocks are formed on the body and each has a vent. The liquid channels are formed through the body between the separating blocks and communicate with the chamber. The outer ring is formed around the chamber to separate the chamber and the vents. The inner ring is formed on an inner end of the body around the vents and has multiple air inlets. The air-inlet tube is mounted detachably on the inner ring of the valve. Therefore, liquid flows through the liquid channels and the chamber, but air flows through the air inlets and the vents to the air-inlet tube to ensure smooth operation.
