  • Publication number: 20190171302
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an input device includes a housing having a top surface, a touch sensor disposed on the top surface of the housing, and a processor disposed in the housing. The touch sensor can be configured to detect a contact by a hand on the top surface of the housing and generate touch data corresponding to the detected contact by the hand. The processor can be configured to control operation of the touch sensor and receive the touch data, determine an orientation of the hand with respect to the housing based on the touch data, and calibrate a detected movement of the input device based on the determined orientation of the hand with respect to the housing. An image sensor and/or one or more IMUs can be used to detect 2D and/or 3D movement of the input device.

  • Publication number: 20080074879
    Abstract: An illumination device includes a light source generating initial light beams, a lens assembly disposed on an axis, and a reflector comprising a reflecting surface. The initial light beams include a first and second reference light beams traveling along a first and second positions, respectively. The first reference light beam passes through the lens assembly to form a first predetermined light beam traveling away from the light source. A first angle is substantially formed between the first position and the axis. The second reference light beam is reflected by the reflective surface to form a second predetermined light beam traveling away from the light source. A second angle is formed between the first and second positions. The first angle is less than or equal to the second angle. The initial light beams are guided by the lens assembly and the reflector to emit the light beams in a projecting mode.

  • Publication number: 20080010529
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor shock prevention structure, which is a shock prevention structure disposed between a metal tube and a fixing hole of the bottom plate in a motor such that the metal tube and the bottom plate are not directly contacted. Moreover, the shock prevention structure includes integrating at least a shock prevention element and a gasket. As the shock prevention element is made of a flexible material being shock-absorbent and damping, the vibration amplitude during motor rotation won't be transmitted to the bottom plate and the electronic system due to the damping function of the shock prevention element, and the resonant effect and noise out of vibration occurring in an electronic system is avoided.

  • Patent number: 7314314
    Abstract: This invention relates to an oil retaining structure of a spindle, wherein the outer peripheral surface of the spindle is provided with a first oil groove extending spirally along a clockwise direction and a second oil groove extending spirally along a counterclockwise direction. The first oil groove and the second oil groove across each other so as to form a plurality of collecting points. In operation, the oil film formed on the outer peripheral surface of the spindle will collect in the two oil grooves slowly, and the lubricating oil in the two oil grooves will bump into each other at the collecting points and then diffuse. As a result, an interior cycle is formed, which not only prevents the leaking of the lubricating oil but also makes the lubricating oil distribute evenly on the surface of the spindle.

  • Patent number: 7062336
    Abstract: A time-division method for playing multi-channel voice signals is provided to improve voice qualities of the multi-channel voice signals. The first feature of the present invention is that after time-division sampling, the voice signals can be directly sent to a subsequent voice generator without being demodulated beforehand. The second feature is that the ratio of a specific voice signal to a synthesized voice can be easily adjusted by changing the numbers of channels occupied by the specific voice. Consequently, the adjusting circuitry can be significantly simplified.
