Abstract: A mold assembly for forming a film includes a transparent bottom mold, a top mold, a case, and a lighting member. The transparent bottom mold defines a cavity for receiving a work piece and a plurality of liquid compositions. The top mold is matched with the bottom mold to accommodate the work piece between the bottom mold and the top mold. The case receives the bottom mold and the top mold placed therein. Air in the case is exhausted from the case to coat the plurality of liquid composition on the work piece. The lighting member emits light on the liquid compositions to solidify the liquid compositions to form a film on the work piece.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lock and a key for the same, and multiple modular lock core units are mounted in the lock. Multiple lock bead units having specific standard are mounted in each lock core unit. Each lock bead unit is detachable and is able to rearrange the permutations of the lock bead units. The key includes a handle, a core bar and multiple unlocking blocks. The core bar is connected with the handle. The unlocking blocks are detachable, are mounted around the core bar and have multiple lock teeth sequentially formed around the inner peripheries of the unlocking blocks. A user can adjust the permutations of the key teeth of the key to unlock the lock that has different permutations of the lock bead units, also can change the permutations of the lock core units to get the same effects.

Abstract: A trigger-boosting pulling device includes an elongate shank, which receives a backward ram to slidably fit thereon, a suction cup, which is fixed to a rear end of the elongate shank, a hand-operating pump structure, which is fixed to a front end of the elongate shank and includes a T-shaped pull grip that is connected by a connection bar to a piston assembly. The connection bar includes a spring fit thereon for position restoration of the pull grip. The pump cylinder includes a handle mounted thereto. The handle has a trigger that is arranged to drive, via a connection lever, the connection bar. As such, the T-shaped pull grip can be first pulled to induce a suction force to reach an initial level and then the handle is held by a hand and the trigger is pulled to drive the connection lever for doubling the force so as to induce enhanced vacuum suction force in the suction cup.

Abstract: A suction device adapted to reliably support a force created by a person pulling on or otherwise using the device. Engaging an activating element allows a user to increase or reduce the vacuum generated by the device, the amount of which is visibly determinable using an indicator. Once in place, the activating element may be locked so as to prevent a user from inadvertently raising the activating element, and thereby reducing the suction generated by the device.

Abstract: A photography element and a photography method with a projecting light source. An illuminating light emitted by the projecting light source illuminates an object to be detected. A camera photographs the object to produce a picture. A control module including a picture analyzing and processing module and a light compensation module adjusts color or brightness of the illuminating light, and presets threshold for grayscale values of pixels of the picture. The picture analyzing and processing module compares the grayscale values with the threshold. For a partial region of the picture where grayscale values are not within the threshold, the light compensation module adjusts a partial of the projecting light source to illuminate a corresponding partial region of the object so that the projecting light source emits another illuminating light to re-illuminate the object. The camera re-photographs the object until every pixel meets the threshold to produce a clear picture.
