Abstract: An LED bulb uses an LED strip suspended between two lead frames of a stem as a light source to provide uniform illumination with wider angles. The lead frames of the stem provide an improved structural stability to the LED strip while maintaining a reliable electrical connection between the components of the stem and the LED strip. The utilization of both top-emitting and side-emitting LEDs on the LED strip further allows lights emitted in directions substantially parallel and perpendicular to the LED strip to cover a wide angle of illumination from the LED bulb.

Abstract: A method of streaming remote procedure invocation for multi-core systems to execute a transmitting thread and an aggregating thread of a multi-core system comprises the steps of: temporarily storing data to be transmitted; activating the aggregating thread if the amount of the temporarily stored data is equal to or greater than a threshold and the aggregating thread is at pause status; pausing the transmitting thread if there is no space to temporarily store the data to be transmitted; retrieving data to be aggregated; activating the transmitting thread if the amount of the data to be aggregated is less than a threshold and the transmitting thread is at pause status; and pausing the aggregating thread if there is no data to be retrieved.

Abstract: A toilet seat is easily soiled by urine of men and boys if they have not lifted the toilet seat before they urinate. The dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can solve this problem by one mode of automatically lifting toilet seat by the mechanism of a seesaw or another mode of manually stepping on footboard to lift the toilet seat with minimum effort by the mechanism of a seesaw. Dual functioned apparatus for lifting toilet seat can be converted simply by changing the hanging position of weighted connectors on levers from the mode of automatically lifting apparatus to the mode of manually lifting apparatus by stepping on footboard and vice versa.

Abstract: A method for modifying a photomask layout includes the following steps. First, a photomask layout having at least an edge is provided. A plurality of evaluation points are positioned on the edge. Then, the photomask layout is interpreted to have an interpreted photomask layout and an interpreted edge pattern. The interpreted edge pattern is formed by interpreting the above-mentioned edge. After that, a shift between the edge and the interpreted edge and corresponding to each of the evaluation points is calculated. Afterwards, a shift gradient between two evaluation points can be derived from the shift. Finally, a number of segments between each two evaluation points can be estimated.

Abstract: A method to save time needed in battery replacement for a Notebook and a battery detector thereof is comprised of having placed the battery detector containing a voltage detection circuit and a register module in the Notebook. When the power level of the battery falls below a first threshold, a prompt menu including a battery replacement option is displayed. When battery replacement option is selected, the Notebook enters a sleep mode and a numeric value marking the need of an automatic power on for the Notebook is stored in the register module. If the voltage detected by the voltage detection circuit is greater than a second threshold, and a numeric value marking the need of an automatic power on for the Notebook is stored in the register module, the Notebook is driven to perform a power on procedure.

Abstract: To automatically detect and correct flickers in a video capture device, a frame number generator receives a plurality of frames and generates frame numbers. A storage device stores brightness values of partial pixels of a frame numbered 1. An extractor extracts brightness values of partial pixels of a frame numbered N. A difference summation device computes differences of the brightness values of the partial pixels of the frames numbered 1 and numbered N and sums up the differences to generate a brightness difference summation signal. A flicker detector detects a banding value in the brightness difference summation signal. A flicker corrector uses the banding value and the frame numbers to find a fixed frequency flicker effect in the frames, and generates a flicker correction signal when the fixed frequency flicker effect in the frames is found.

Abstract: A high power LED lamp comprises a container having a cavity to fill with a liquid, a light source module for providing a high power LED source light to penetrate through the liquid, and an axial thermal conductor having a first portion nearby the light source module and a second portion extending in the liquid along an axial direction of the cavity to far away from the light source module to evenly transfer heat from the light source module through the liquid to the container.

Abstract: Flapper tank ball pendulum comprised a buoyant hollow ball which has a small bottom opening, a handle which is fixed at the top of buoyant hollow ball and a fenestrated cone-shaped shell which is fixed at the bottom of buoyant hollow ball. One can easily fasten its handle onto lever of toilet flushing unit. Flapper tank ball pendulum can be lifted by pushing downwards pushing handle of toilet flushing unit to drain whole tank of toilet water to flush human solid waste and also can be pushed downwards by elevating manually pushing handle of toilet flushing unit to close drainpipe of toilet water tank to stop draining toilet water. Only about one quarter of water in toilet water tank is enough to flush human liquid waste. Human urinate several times a day and defecate only once a day. Flapper tank ball pendulum can replace flapper tank ball to save huge amount of water to solve the shortage of water supplies in big cities in the States.

Abstract: Magnetic car window wiper comprises one inner magnetic plate, one outer magnetic plate and one connecting string. The outer magnetic plate is placed outside car window and inner magnetic plate is placed inside car window. In raining day driver can move inner magnetic plate against car window from side to side to attract and move by magnetic force outer magnetic plate from side to side to wipe rain water off outside car window for better vision of side mirror.

Abstract: Belt with two handgrips provides grips for hands to grasp to straighten arms for upper body extension. Patient who is suffering from backache secondary to pinched nerve can wear this device and grasps handgrips with hands to straighten his/her arms to extent upper body and vertebral space to decompress the pinched spinal nerve to relieve backache. It is especially helpful for patients who have to sit in a car or airplane for a long trip.

Abstract: A method of forming a thin-film transistor array substrate is provided. A first mask is used to define a source, a drain and a channel on a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed to cover the source, the drain, the channel and the substrate. A second mask is used to define a patterned photoresist and the dielectric layer. A transparent conductive layer is formed to cover the patterned photoresist and the substrate. A lift-off process is performed to remove the patterned photoresist and a portion of the transparent conductive layer disposed on the patterned photoresist. A third mask is used to define a gate disposed on the dielectric layer.

Abstract: A combo wireless system comprises a Bluetooth module, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) module, a single pole triple throw (SP3T) switch and an antenna. The antenna is utilized to transmit/receive Bluetooth signals for the Bluetooth module and to transmit/receive WiFi signals for the WiFi module. The SP3T switch is coupled between the antenna, the Bluetooth module and the WiFi module. The SP3T switch is controlled to select a path for the Bluetooth module to transmit/receive Bluetooth signals through the antenna, to select another path for the WiFi module to transmit WiFi signals through the antenna or to select another path for the WiFi module to receive the WiFi signals through the antenna.
