  • Patent number: 11978602
    Abstract: A switch apparatus, includes: a base module including a base case, and a moving magnet movably mounted in the base case; and a manipulation module including a manipulation case, and a first magnet fixedly mounted in the manipulation case, wherein the moving magnet moves between a hold position and a releasable position, the hold position refers to a position in which the manipulation module is held onto the base module as an attractive force acts between the moving magnet and the first magnet, and the releasable position refers to a position in which the manipulation module is releasable from the base module as a repulsive force acts between the moving magnet and the first magnet.

  • Patent number: 9830496
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fingerprint input device using a portable terminal equipped with a camera, and an external optical device for inputting a fingerprint. According to the present invention, a fingerprint image may be generated by an optical fingerprint input method by using the external optical device of the present invention even when an existing portable terminal does not have a configuration for an optical fingerprint input. To this end, the external optical device is provided as an external type to be mounted in the existing portable terminal provided with a camera, and has an optical refractor and a mirror. The external optical device may generate a user's fingerprint image by an optical fingerprint input method, in accordance with circumstances, without interrupting the main use of a camera and an LED of the existing portable terminal.

  • Patent number: 8691456
    Abstract: An air and coolant control system comprising: a heat source configured to receive air, generate heat, receive coolant, conduct the received coolant to a coolant outlet, and transfer the generated heat to the received coolant, thereby removing the generated heat from the heat source as the coolant is conducted out of the heat source; an air supply source configured to supply the air to the heat source; an air supply control system configured to adjust the supply of air from the air supply source to the heat source based on a dynamic feedback temperature characteristic from the heat source; a coolant supply source configured to supply the coolant to the heat source; and a coolant control system configured to adjust the flow rate of the coolant based on an estimated feed-forward heat source characteristic and to adjust the temperature of the coolant based on the dynamic feedback temperature characteristic.

  • Patent number: 7403271
    Abstract: An optical fingerprint image input device for a mobile apparatus includes: a plate-shaped fingerprint contact member; a distortion correcting member for correcting distortions; light sources disposed at both sides of the fingerprint contact member, other than an inclined surface or a back light source in a liquid crystal display element; focusing means disposed at an inclined surface side of the distortion correcting member; and an image sensor. In other words, the fingerprint contact member and the distortion correcting member having respective set-up inclined angles are disposed to discern sweat, water or oil and to correct a trapezoidal distortion which is a disadvantage that occurs when a thin fingerprint contact medium is used, and to form a lens system comprised of a cylindrical lens and a spherical lens for adjustment of a ratio of transversal to longitudinal widths of an image.
