  • Publication number: 20110097219
    Abstract: A water pump for pumping ice water is provided. The pump includes a motor assembly, a cover, and a tube. The motor assembly includes water pumping blades rotatably set at one end of the motor assembly. The motor assembly includes a water-resistant housing that is set outside and partially encloses the motor assembly. The cover is attached to an end of the water-resistant housing to enclose the motor assembly. The tube extends through the cover to communicate between inside and outside of the cover. Thus, when the pump is positioned in a tank containing ice water, air is allowed to freely flow through the tube between inside and outside of the cover to balance pressures between inside and outside of the pump so as to prevent cracking caused by thermal expansion and contraction from occurring in connection portions of the pump.

  • Patent number: 7483010
    Abstract: A frame-varying addressing method of a color sequential liquid crystal display is disclosed for display of successive frames. Each of the frames is composed of three subframes, and each of the subframes is composed of a plurality of scan lines. According to the frame-varying addressing method of the invention, the addressing sequence of scan lines for display of any frame or subframe is arranged in the same direction as those for display of its adjacent frames or subframes, and is selected to be different from those for display of its adjacent frames or subframes. Further, the addressing sequence for the frame (subframe) and its adjacent frames (subframes) can be periodically or randomly selected, so as to effectively balance or greatly eliminate the spatial intensity variations due to inconsistent response times at different portions of the panel.

  • Patent number: 6836034
    Abstract: The non-biasing guiding mechanism related to CD-R drives is used to drive a data access device to move along a particular direction and to access the data on a CD. The shaft of the non-biasing guiding mechanism is fixed by an axis-fixing member. The axis-fixing member has ring parts on the opposite ends and a receiver integrally formed with the ring part in a concentric way. The ring part is coiled by a coil and sets inside the drive, and the hole is used for positioning the shaft and sets outside the drive. Therefore, the biasing problem of the shaft can be solved by using the axis-fixing member.
