  • Patent number: 8244284
    Abstract: A device and its operating method for mobile communication, the mobile communication device includes a micro processor, a memory which has an instruction database and an image database, a touch panel, a message module and a communication module. After a user inputs a symbol, the micro processor will retrieve and execute an operating instruction which corresponds to the symbol from the image database and the instruction database, or look for the contact and perform the communication action which corresponds to the symbol. When the operating instruction or the communication action which corresponds to the symbol fails, the micro processor will enter a setting interface to set up an operating instruction or communication action which corresponds to the symbol.

  • Publication number: 20090117940
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided to allow users to input a biological characteristic and self-define an execution command corresponding to the biological characteristic. The electronic device includes a key unit, a biological characteristic input unit, a storage unit and a processing unit. A biological characteristic can be inputted to the biological characteristic unit. At least a set of the biological characteristic data can be built by activating a biological characteristic configuration program via the processing unit to execute command to the storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20090036162
    Abstract: A combinational mobile communication device includes a communication device main-body and at least a swappable function expansion component. The design and structure of the swappable function expansion component is modularized, thus making it suitable to combine with a communication device main-body into an integral mobile communication device. The swappable function expansion component includes a function expansion module, and a shell. This shell can be combined with a communication device main-body to form a part of the outer shell of a mobile communication device, such as a front outer shell, a back outer shell, or a side outer shell.

  • Publication number: 20070286701
    Abstract: A wood screw includes a head and a shank which includes a screw-in portion including a tapered section and a tip point at a distal end of the tapered section. A groove is defined longitudinally in the shank and starts from the tapered section and extends toward the head. A plurality of threads are formed on an outer periphery of the shank including the screw-in portion. A plurality of cutting teeth are formed on the threads on the screw-in portion. A plurality of ribs extend spirally from an outer periphery of the shank and located between the threads.

  • Publication number: 20070166124
    Abstract: A screw includes a head and a shank which includes a tip end. Spiral threads are defined in an outer periphery of the shank which includes a first section including the tip end and a second section including the head. A plurality of cutting ridges extend from the outer periphery of the first section of the shank so as to cut the fibers of the object and remove the debris of the object upward. The second section includes a plurality of grooves defined in the shank so as to receive the debris to prevent the debris from breaking the object.

  • Publication number: 20070155504
    Abstract: An interaction method between two communication terminals suitable for a portable communication device is provided. A wireless transmission protocol is used to link a first communication terminal to a second communication terminal. Next, a plane and a position on which a portable communication device of the first communication terminal is located is detected to generate a 3-D data. The 3-D data is then converted into a data format conforming to the wireless transmission protocol to transmit the 3-D data from the first communication terminal to the second communication terminal. Thus, the first communication terminal can control the operations of the portable communication device in the second communication terminal.

  • Patent number: 6789991
    Abstract: A screw includes a rod-shaped portion, and a spiral-shaped thread winding around the rod-shaped portion. The rod-shaped portion has a straight portion, and a front end portion tapering towards a pointed front end. Several cutting trenches are formed on the rod-shaped portion for cutting bits off a workpiece with which when the screw is being screwed into the same. The tapering front end portion is provided with a notch, and cutting teeth are provided on that portion of the thread corresponding to the tapering front end portion. Cut-off bits of a workpiece can be received in the trenches as well as the cutting teeth so that the same can't have excessive resistance against the screw.

  • Patent number: 6056491
    Abstract: A screw includes a straight portion and a cutting screw-in portion tapered toward a pointed end. A cutting thread is provided on the tapered screw-in portion. The cutting thread has several cutting teeth spaced apart thereon, and connects threads of the straight portion. Each of the cutting teeth has a sawtooth like shape and is sloping at an angle. The cutting teeth can cut the wood into relatively small bits on the contact with it when the screw is being screwed into the wood, and drive part of the bits out of the hole of the wood to prevent the wood from being cracked. The cutting teeth can help the screw to be screwed into the wood with relatively great speed and small resistance.
