  • Publication number: 20240054979
    Abstract: A music box includes a sounding mechanism and a pause mechanism. The pause mechanism has a guide sleeve, a stopper member, a pushbutton, a guide assembly and a restoring spring. The guide sleeve is formed with a plurality of initial locating sections, a plurality of stop locating sections and a communicating ring section. The stopper member can be moved and rotated as well as has a stop block. The pushbutton serves to push the stopper member to move in a forward direction. The guide assembly serves to drive the stopper member to rotate, while the restoring spring serves to push the stopper member to move in a backward direction. By means of the pushbutton, the guide assembly and the restoring spring, the stop block can in turn move between the initial locating sections, the stop locating sections and the communication section.

  • Patent number: 9152255
    Abstract: Management and application methods and systems for an electronic apparatus having touch-sensitive devices are provided. First, at least one sensing electrode of a touch-sensitive device is scanned. It is determined whether a sensed value corresponding to the sensing electrode is greater than a first threshold value and whether the sensed value corresponding to the sensing electrode is greater than a second threshold value, wherein the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value. When the sensed value is greater than the first threshold value, and is not greater than the second threshold value, it is determined that a first event is detected by the touch-sensitive device, for example, an object is close to the touch-sensitive device. When the sensed value is greater than the second threshold value, it is determined that a second event is detected by the touch-sensitive device, for example, the touch-sensitive device is touched by the object.

  • Publication number: 20040257974
    Abstract: A color digital versatile disk (DVD) structure discloses that an optically opacity top laminate is bonded to a bottom laminate which is with a reflective layer, a recording layer, and a substrate. The bottom laminate uses molding injection process with an optically opacity pigment and a plastic material to shorten process time. Furthermore, the different colors in top laminate pair with the color in the storage layer of the bottom laminate by using optical opacity, and the presented color in storage medium can show any of the colors.
